Life is not fair. Get over it.
Work hard, play hard.
There is always someone bigger, faster, smarter, stronger and better looking.
Use your skills and talents to your unit's advantage.
Knowledge does not equal wisdom, and Degrees do not confer common sense.
Learn something new every day. In the end, no one can take your experiences from you.
Take vacations. You never know when the next one will be allowed.
Finally- whatever task you are assigned, make it yours. Put all of your effort and knowledge behind it. Sucesses get you a pat on the back, failure can break a reputation.

So true, never has been and never will be. If you do get something, you know someone else paid a price for it.
