<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>5. Don’t cry at work</strong>
Newsflash. Women cry a lot and men don’t. So let’s just stop telling women to be men at work. No point. People who do best in their careers are people who are their true selves.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And, I have first-hand research on this topic, because I have <a href="http://blog.penelopetrunk.com/2009/01/12/2009/01/05/7-things-to-consider-before-launching-a-startup/">cried</a> at all levels of my career. To be fair, I cry mostly when I have PMS. But whatever. PMS is just your body telling your brain that you need to start crying about the stuff<span> </span>that you’ve been ignoring all month.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Here’s the big secret about crying though. Men who are secure with themselves and their position in the world actually deal with women crying just fine. So any guy at work who cannot deal with you crying needs to get some therapy in order to be more self-assured. You, on the other hand, are doing just fine with those workplace tears.</p>
