Believe 10 percent of what they say and 90 percent of what they do.

Being a good listener is correlated with intelligence.

If you’re not very smart, at least train yourself to listen and you’ll fool a lot of people.

Wish I took this to heart earlier in my life.

time is your most powerful and valuable asset.

invest as much as you can afford while you are young, and keep at it as you age.

Not replying IS a response, and quite often the best one.

Bank offshore. Own nothing. Set up an LLC in a tax haven. Let the LLC own everything.

Good things happen to scumbags far more than to honest living people who try.

Work hard for yourself, not for your company. To them, you are just a name, and are replaceable. They may fail in doing so, but it won’t stop them from happily taking advantage of your time and work ethic in the process. So ask for compensation for your efforts and adjust accordingly.
