Top Highlights

• When I write, I like to write for one real or imaginary reader. It’s a technique for finding my right voice.
• everything I thought one young man needed to know to succeed in life.
• I find I can dig myself out of almost any hole—and eventually come out ahead—using the methods I describe here.
• result of talent, luck, hard work, or an accidental just-right balance of each? All I know for sure is that I pursued a conscious strategy of managing my opportunities in a way that would make it easier for luck to find me.
