Kim,
What I was told by many businesspersons, to be successful in real world you
ought to:
* Have a good communication skill (good at convincing people, sometimes do
brag; good at lobbying & bribing).
* Be Iron Heart (as what Margaret Thatcher was known???)
* Be Thick Face (shameless)
* Be Cruel (it's more or less as if you are in the battlefield, either you
kill me or I kill you)
Please be noted that in this case: "successful" = being wealthy, rich.
What are your comments on those traits? For sure, I wanna be rich.. but I
don't have such traits. How is the likely I will be successful?
Kevin
