Life Lesson #15: Never Pay For Your Own Business Cards

If you need a business card, someone will buy it for you. Otherwise, you look like a fool. This Life Lesson can also apply more generally. For example, if your employer is willing to pay for something (e.g., you can expense it), you should make sure to take full advantage. Get what's yours, don't be a sucker.
