Since the time we are born into this capitalist society, we are raised to aim to achieve success. Whether that be based on a salary, reputation, or personal relationship, we all want to succeed in our goals. There are countless guides to achieving success, but it’s rare to find something advising you how to maintain success once you feel you’ve achieved it. In light of some recent infamous quotes by people in national and international spotlight, we’ve compiled a list of what not to do if you want to keep your job.

 

     1.         Don’t discriminate customers based on the size and shape of their body.

 

     2.         Don’t discourage anyone from participating in their own society because of their gender and age.

 

     3.         Don’t deny someone opportunities of their own simply because of their gender.

     4.         Don’t sexually harass people. This one goes for people at all levels of their journey to success..

 

     5.         Don’t be “exclusionary”.

 

In conclusion, don’t stop striving towards being a decent human being once you finally “make it big.” You don’t want to end up like one of these people, who have clearly lost touch.

I am looking forward to being a Campus Correspondant with Her Campus, and can't wait to create a unique space online with the students of Seattle University.
