The Holistic "BE GAME" Plan for young adults
Looks: If you've got a big nose or a small chin, blame your parents. Also, blame yourself for not doing anything about it. While acceptance is the key, there's no harm in trying a few distraction techniques, like dyeing your hair green or wearing yellow polka-dotted pants.
Thoughts: These are largely beyond your control. However, learn to recognize "chicken" thoughts. Like, for instance, "How do I tell mom I'm marrying a girl who's anout the same age as mom herself?" Succumbing to these thoughts is death.
Attitude: Adopt an overall attitude of arrant fearlesness (except if you're in front of judge and looking at seven years). Risk is an oppurtunity. Take your chances. Maybe you'll win. Maybe you'll lose. May be you need to find out.
Lifestyle: Remember, one day you'll be seventy with a bedpan as your only companion. Till then,do stuff. Do your room in red. Do your car pink. Learn Mandarin. Say hi to the lift guy. Listen to a new band. And, before we forget, turn off that damn TV!
Profession: An MBA is not necessarily the passport to lasting happiness. What is it you really want to do? Study the mating habits of the fire-bellied toad? Very, very unusual. Email your resume to National Geographic and pack a bag.
Family: From time to time, you will be asked to make yourself useful around the house. Like helping granny to the bathroom or reading your kid sister a bedtime story. Family is important. Resist the urge to rebel. That's so, how we should put it.... passe?
