The Tassel Is Worth the Hassle: Wit and Wisdom for the Graduate

What’s Next? Everything!

When children are asked what they want to be when they grow up, they often respond with great enthusiasm and outlandish plans. But as children grow older and graduate from high school and then from college, this question subtly evolves into the dreaded: what are you going to do with your life? Now, graduates can take comfort in The Tassel Is Worth the Hassle: Wit and Wisdom for the Graduate edited by Anne Riekenberg (Andrews McMeel Publishing, LLC, $8.99). In The Tassel Is Worth the Hassle, Anne has compiled insightful observations and inspirational advice for graduates just beginning their new journey.

The Tassel Is Worth the Hassle encourages graduates to embrace the uncertainties that lie ahead, concentrate on living in the moment, and simply celebrate the sweet smell of success, the "aroma of diploma." And with brilliant insights from such great thinkers as Henry David Thoreau, Oscar Wilde, Theodore Roosevelt, Eleanor Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, George Eliot, Louisa May Alcott, George Washington Carver, and William Allen White, this book is a must-have not just for graduates, but for anyone still searching for who they are and where they are going. After reading The Tassel Is Worth the Hassle, when someone asks "What’s next?" you’ll answer confidently, "Everything!"
