YouTube Channel: RockJay2NayMe

First of all, congratulations for graduating and reaching a milestone in your life! That’s truly something to be cherished and proud of. Whether graduating from high school, college, medical school, law school, or wherever you have reached success, graduating is a very exciting and intoxicating experience that can also be one full of fears, intense nerves and anxiety about what exactly to do next. Questions like, “What if I can’t find a job?” or “What if I don’t even end up using the degree I paid crazy amounts of money for?” may race through your mind, but find peace in this wonderful quote friends:

“Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.”

-Herman Cain

You have all your life to be an adult, so for now (and for celebratory purposes), kick back, try and relax, and may these motivational books give you that extra confidence boost for what great things lay ahead.
