Be rich
But never talk about money.
Be fit
But never talk about working out.
Be sharp
But never mention books.
Real status is when they think it's just you.
9-5 is stressful. So is unemployment. Being single is stressful. So is having one. Having 50 clients is stressful. So is having none. Life is full of trade-offs. Don’t romanticise options you don’t know.
Banks treat you nicely when you are rich. Companies treat you nicely when you are skilled. Women treat you nicely when you are handsome and rich. Men are loved conditionally. Nobody gives you sympathy if you're weak, poor, and broke.
