Answer preview

The advice I found most difficult to achieve is the advice of accepting that I am a newbie in the organizations and I should accept everything that comes with it, even cleaning the proverbial toilet to shine. Most of us graduate college expecting so much form the careers we have put in all effort to pursue. Getting out of college and working at the lowest end of the pole has a huge impact on one’s self esteem. This is why I find this advice very difficult to implement.
