I am reading this book about a controversial man and his book/life reminded me about the following.
1. In order to be filthy rich, one has to operate on the edge or bounds of law. Found out so much about how he operates on an international level and (if true) he is indeed a genius in establishing contacts and relationships, utilizing (genuinely) over time, when the need arises. But amidst all that, he remains a very trustworthy man. A trait that all traders or businessmen need to possess. Folks our word should be our bond. PERIOD!
MORAL of the story: find a niche one is passionate about, operate on the edge.
2. Nothing beats hard work. 15 to 16 hour days. Yes. That is how long he works in his office. From 7-11 or sun up till midnight. Everyday. Weekends included. Not sure what is his motivation. But surely, he has been able to demonstrate that one has to LOVE iwhat one does in order not to get tired doing such.
MORAL of the story: work is your friend. Like a friend, he will come to your rescue when you need it the most.
3. Success is dressed in overall not a suit. remember a time when I was a boy and one of my daily chore is to clean up my grandma/grandpas pigpen. The smell. The odor. The filth. All of it. I sucked up and just cleaned it up to my hearts content. I resent such 'slave' work then. But as time goes by, those 'tasks' made me who I am today. I know the smell since I am at the shopfloor. And as such,
MORAL of the story: roll up your sleeve and get to work:)
