Common Sense for the Real World (sugar coating removed). Author Gordon Myers explains how to grow up and live in the real world with a ten part series called In the Real World Series 10 Important Tips. Gordon Myers uses his own experiences of learning lessons the hard way to help readers have an easier time in the real world with innovated and nontraditional ways.
In order to feel fulfilled in your life you must eventually be able to take care of everything you need to, all by yourself. If not, you will eventually have to accept many things you don’t like, respect or agree with from the other people who are essentially taking care of you in any way shape or form.” ( Real World Tips, Gordon Myers).
Gordon Myers covers everything from taking care of yourself, Relationships, life's mistakes and how to handle them. "You can either learn the hard way or you can pay close attention to those that are trying to help you."( Real World Tips, Gordon Myers). The meaning of growing up is being 100% responsible for oneself and make one’s own decisions. In the Real world things are not always handed down."Try to understand that nothing worthwhile is as easy as you think it is and the more research or effort you put into something the more you will understand that it was not as you first thought. Don’t be lazy, don’t make assumptions and don’t pretend to know about things that you really don’t.” ( Real World Tips, Gordon Myers).
Now more than ever virtues like patience and perseverance are necessary. The relationships that are already made should be nurtured and cherished with give and take on both sides. Be kind to others that help along the way and always be appreciative is something Gordon Myers really takes to heart. There will be mistakes along the way, it may be costly but learning from the mistakes will be the best bet to improve."Mistakes, also known as education are always costly, regardless of whether it is time or money that is being sacrificed. Remember money might be replaceable (even though it may not yet be your own) but time is not, ever! So please think carefully before doing anything that is going to waste any more than you really have to.” ( Real World Tips, Gordon Myers).
