One such superstition tells us that eating poultry on New Year's Day means you will financially strugglefor the coming year, which I really wish I had known before I ate chicken with mixed vegetables on January 1.
Yet despite what society would have you believe, years of research into the topic indicates that struggle is actually essential for career advancement.
And it's important foryou all to know that, because I know sometimes it feels like a struggle, like sometimes we don't know as a nation what you sacrifice, what your families have sacrificed.
