University Etiquette Men Surviving the Parent Company Male Care Matters

Outclass the Competition
by Harold Almon baesoe.com

To advance: to survive the parent company, you need to survive home training;

Learn ("New truths.") New truths are additions to old truths: "The early bird catches? The (careless) worm;" how do you know that you are not the worm? (What prompted the worm to get up?)

“To get a good job, get a good? Education,” (in fields which are hiring;) how are bills to be paid with you educated and unemployed.

“Good things come to those who? Wait,” (who work their tails off, while they wait.) And to those who win, as long as they can pay the taxes.

"The grass grows greener on? The other side,” (the side that gets the water ;)" (And sometimes the side that gets a little sh..., Fertilizer, because that's how grass grows.)

"The squeaky wheel, gets? The grease; (sometimes it gets replaced.)" (Sometimes being replaced is not half as bad as staying, and being treated badly.) Sometimes you have to know when to squeal and to let go.

Learn "New opposites." New opposites are any noun preceded or followed by the word "Not." The opposite of "Is" is "Is not," ("Is to!") Remember?

The opposite of "Innocent" is, "Not innocent." Juries teach the opposite of "Guilty" is, "Not guilty." Nobody listens. The opposite of a "Boy," is "Not a boy." Any questions? "Not right" is the opposite of "Right;" is to. OK, go ahead and tell me, “Is not.”

Learn you are innocent until, accused. "Accused" equals "Not innocent." It always has. When an adult accused a child of doing something wrong, the child got to be "Not innocent." When an employer accused an employee of doing something wrong, the employee got to feel, "Not right." When a witness accused that there is a reasonable doubt as to a person's innocence, the person got to be "Not innocent," which felt a lot like guilty.

Learn that being innocent will never stop you from being accused, arrested, jailed, tried, wasted, or crucified, or from being otherwise handled administratively for a perceived abuse of company policy. Should you be found "Not guilty," the company will only affirm that you are not guilty, and that you promise never to do it again.

To advance, learn how to survive the parent company: how to make someone else not lose. Learn how to handle someone who is crapping on you, and still not lose. This is called charm. In some circles, this is called diplomacy.In home training, you learn why you have to wear clean underwear. "In case you get into an accident," or "In case you have to go to the hospital;" what two days of the year Mom has to make special meals? "Thanksgiving and Christmas," (or your equivalent ;) what birthdays require? Candles and cake; why parents can smoke and children can't? "Parents are adults, smoking is harmful;" (when children get to be adults, they too can make decisions which are irrational;) and what kids are told about their food when Mom is on a diet?” Eat every bite, it's good for you." You learn which parent gives you money after you are told, "You can't have any more money?" (Fathers do.) And you will learn not to ask, "If children in other countries are starving, why do I have to eat so much?"


In life, you will learn about new games, and rules, and changes to make to them, to survive (anywhere you commit yourself.) You will find rules that seem to work for everyone except you. You will be right, and learn that being right never provides the power to change anything. And you will learn that because of needing references, or money, there are even rules on how to say, "Goodbye." Learn the games. Games played using home training are like using Santa to make kids good, or the Easter Bunny to make children happy. In the place you are now, there is a collection of survival games; you must teach yourself how to play.

Learn to feel welcomed wherever you are. It is probably where you need to be. This is a playing manual, or maybe it is just a love story.
