Loyalty and trust.Absolutely required traits. Unlike creativity and
brains, any person can possess these qualities, so if you lack them, you

Let’s suppose, out of the hundreds of thousands of applicants, you’re
selected. Let’s suppose you actually win. You become famous for fifteen

I hope you’ve gained a sense of what it takes, how to live your life in the
way most likely to result in a vast fortune. Unless you win the lottery or

Whatever your job is, that’s your assignment.

Begin now.
You’re hired.

over a year of convalescence, this person is having a hard time walking. I
think that suing a doctor like this would qualify as a worthwhile legal
expense. (Recently, the patient saw this doctor walking on the very
