Your first time is always special. Your first kiss, your first interview, and your first job. Well, this article is all about the things you learn and experience when you embark on that new, exciting (and slightly stressful) journey when you find gainful (hopefully) employment somewhere. This is what happens when you start working for the first time.

You learn to deal with real life decisions and consequences.

You learn to deal with people you don’t get along with but have to work with anyway. You learn to deal with work pressures. You learn to balance your personal as well as professional life. And most importantly, you learn to deal with the consequences of all your choices, be they good or bad.

Little things at work start giving you joy.

A little appreciation is what you look for.

Your Boss: Can I have a pen?

You: Here, sir.

Your Boss: Thank you. Nice pen.

Your Mind: *OMG, He said something nice about my pen!*
