1) don't focus on the women, focus on your career, I have much better access to higher SMV females in the middle of my 30's than when I was 22 or 27
2) don't be focused on the fact that you had so-so grades - I was at the bottom of the graduates list in terms of grades (however I did graduate from top univ in my country); it means nothing when it comes to efficiency in work really (because it is more related to your ability to resolve issues as they come and cannot be memorised - I have so-so memory but borderline very high IQ and EQ and simply put I do often much better in work than more academically succesful during univ-years friends
3) work is not about hard-work only, it's equally about being people-person, giving no-problem vibe and liking people and evading people that consider you are an obstacle - if you exceel at soft skills and exceel at work, you will quickly raise in any business structure when compared with others
4) if you have some significant weakness that won't fly under the radar of others easily (e.g. you are really obese or ugly) either c.rack some jokes about if ppl will try to pick on it OR work on yourself to eliminate entirely OR both (crack jokes until you won't have to), people are bunch of poor mannered and rather evil phukerz that like to pick on others when they can (company policies, matter of well manners, being good and bad - all aside) it's just like that; if there's a 'clique' of friends in the place you begin work it's better to make fun of such weakness and give it a good laugh instead of trying to 'hope' that no one will notice it - tbh everybody will notice it so just don't even try - by acting like that you take the hate magnet from their hands and weaponise your weakness for your own purpose - instead of noticing you are fat they will notice you can laugh from yourself and won't pick on you (just don't do it too often/don't be a clown - one of two jokes and they will let it go)
5) act egoless in job - be ok person at the beginning in a new place you enter - your supervisor is always right even if he/ahe is wrong (most of the low and mid level managers were chosen for such positions because of connections or suck.ing up long enough/obedience/not being too bright/being 'safe choice', so more often than not they don't (and never really did) exceel really in their work - they had proper mixture of qualities and were safe enough choice for the position - so don't be a smartass and try to prove them they are wrong, because if you are right, they won't forgive you making it well known and obvious, they also don't like troublemakers because they always evaded problems themselves (like snakes) thus the way to go at the beginning is being efficient yes person and doing everything to find either better opportunity elsewhere ASAP or fuel your own purpose OR being promoted ASAP to evade the poor quality low level managers you will inevitably be forced to deal with at the beginning of your work
6) you should aim for having your own business when in 30's - working for myself was one of the best decisions I could make - I work more but I don't have formal supervisor of any sort, I have clients - it's different sort of relationship - if someone talks bs you can point it out w/o worrying about your future too much (unless that's your only client and you want to be too frank lol)
7) don't trust women in your workplace, don't try to date them, workplace is for work and females in workplace flirt for other purposes than forming relationship you dream of; so simply don't
8) if you can do something good for somebody in work and it's a low cost/time effort, do it. That's how you gain allies.
9) don't look for friends in work; it never really works or survives, ppl from work are not worth effort of that sort - if you are better than them at work, they won't forgive you anyway, no matter how much you will try to make them like you - some of my 'friends' simply hated me being better than them at work or work-related subjects
10) trust your intuition ALWAYS, if you feel that something is wrong it means either something is wrong, might be wrong or is maybe wrong (with huge dose of probability), its a warning side and requires preparation or action of some sort - don't be the guy that listens to the "don't worry about it" advice - be prepared
11) if that's your photo in the profile picture - congrats, you are handsome young man with future ahead of you - now take down this photo - you never know who reads your messages
Good luck
