But one area  that is not  usually covered  in college is   financial literary.

In the attached video, the topic "How to Get Rich" is discussed and illustrated  clearly in simple easy to understand terms. It is based on the best-selling  book "Rich Dad, Poor Dad." by Robert Kiyosaki.

Learn  the definitions of assets and liabilities, active and passive incomes. And remember early in your career that it is not what you earn, it is what you save and  invest that makes a big difference in the long term.

Facebook COO's Best Career Advice

Photo Credit:  Time.com

Sheryl Sandberg, current Chief Operating Officer  of Facebook, was recently asked this question:

"What's the number one thing you look for in someone who can scale with a company?"

Her answer was  aptly succinct:  "Someone who takes feedback well. Because people who can take feedback well are people who can learn and grow quickly.

Upon  reading up on  Sandberg's profile,  I learned that she chose to have a mentor early on early in her life.  While in college at Harvard  University from 1987 to 1991, her thesis adviser was also her mentor-- Lawrence Summers, who became  the US  Secretary of the Treasury 1999.  This would indicate that  Sandberg chose well from whom she would receive feedback, and this  must have helped her succeed in school and in starting a career.  A few years after  graduating summa cum laude from Harvard with a degree in B.A. in Economics,  Sandberg  joined her mentor Summers at the US  Department of the Treasury.

This reminds me of what an HR Director from one of my previous employers shared with me.   Feedback is a gift.   Whether  feedback is positive or constructive (an obviously  more empowering word than "negative"), it is a tool to improve or strengthen one's self.  A genuine feedback is never meant to be a "downer."

For the new college graduate,  keep in mind that if you want to move up in any organization, appreciate feedback.  It is valuable gift for self-improvement.
