As the father of three daughters, I’m not 100% in favor Emily Bennington’s Huffington Post story where she kisses a guy on a bet at the bar, but otherwise her advice is on the right on.

My daughter graduated a few weeks back and I’m forwarding her this link to Emily’s post. College grads should take on a good amount of risk. Most err on the side of “not enough.” What’s the downside? They have to move in with Mom and Dad. They can use this experimentation to learn and possibly hit a homerun success that can make a huge difference for them.

I wrote “College Graduation – Exciting and Terrifying All at the Same Time” addressed to my daughter and her friends and offer similar advice.  Now that your are outside of the structured life of schooling, make your own rules. Get past the daunting and make a real difference.
