The big lesson learned from that class is your social status determines a large part of your influence.

Some friends have a daughter in her early 30’s who has a decent but not high paying job, is attractive and outgoing, and still lives at home. When I stated the daughter needs a boyfriend the mom said, “Oh, I know, but she’s so fussy.” Maybe, and maybe mom’s rose-colored glasses are on. I would seem to me it’s hard to attract a good boyfriend when you’re still living at home. We all get enamored with things we’re close to. (We MORE

A more successful career makes you more elite. In my high school, college, and early career years, I very much bought into this belief system. MORE
