Overview
You're smart enough to know that life is not fair, so if things don't go your way today, put things in perspective. You have to retain your balance between being practical and being idealistic, and roll up your sleeves and get ready to work -- either toward accepting what is going on, or at changing it to be more to your liking. This is not about pushing back against the decisions made by the folks in authority, though. It's about working to make people see that your ideas are better.
