I realized that..

The majority of people care a lot about money and use it as a yardstick to assess everything from obvious 'wealth' to even personal morality, despite vehement protests to the contrary. Simply said, money is what keeps the world going.

The pattern of lying resembles a bell curve: the least and most critical matters are not lied about, but everything else in the centre is subjected to lying.

Making money is a game. It's more like chess and football together. In general, it places greater weight on experience than knowledge. Whether you are a team player or not doesn't matter to your boss as long as you can act like one.

The cruellest, rudest, most wasteful, and most heartless people frequently succeed in life. If you can't defeat them, join them. However, it doesn't mean you have to adopt their ways.

In most nations and in interactions with others, having pragmatism, openness, and social skills is essential to happiness and a mediocre level of success. As a result, the "edgelords" and the basement-dwelling "nolifes," who are filled with anxiety and pessimism, will experience progressively harder years.

I've come to understand that IQ is useless and that there is no such thing as an introvert or an extrovert. You only need to be "sensible" and "thoughtful" enough.

Any time you don't ask for something, you'll always get a "no."

The key to succeeding in most areas of the workplace is the ability to write (preferably pretty well). Problems are resolved more quickly when they can be explained in writing rather than through verbal begging while holding a cap.

When you are young, you can be poor, but as you age, you cannot be worthless.
