Charles Wheelan’s first job out of college was writing speeches for the governor of Maine. Now he shares 10 lessons he wishes someone had told his Class of 1988:
- Your time in fraternity basements was well spent.
- Some of your worst days lie ahead.
- Don’t make the world worse.
- Marry someone smarter than you are.
- Help stop the Little League arms race.
- Read obituaries.
- Your parents don’t want what is best for you.
- Don’t model your life after a circus animal.
- It’s all borrowed time.
- Don’t try to be great.
