Why do I do this? What is my goal?

I want to make everyone’s lives easier. I want to help you to avoid the mistakes I made when I started working. There is no book, no university class that teaches you these practical day-to-day rules. We all know that the people who succeed are not always the ones who have had the best grades at university, the ones who are the most intelligent, the ones who have the most experience or the ones who work the hardest. On the contrary, very often people who succeed are the ones who use the best strategy. My goal is to teach you some strategies that I have helped me get through the business jungle.

I have to admit however that I am doing this for myself as well. I use this to write down my frustrations about bosses, colleagues and clients who, at times, have made my life a living hell. Just to give you one example: it drives me crazy when I see people with university degrees (sometimes people with a higher pay grade than I) who cannot make simple sentences following the basic model "subject, verb, object", which we have all learned in school. In that sense this work is therapeutic for me and helps me to cope with years and years of frustration. Moreover, there is slight chance that we will have to work with each other at some point. If and when that happens you might make my life much easier if you follow this simple rule book.
