Success leaves clues and so does failures. -F.Z.
Take a successful man to lunch and buy him a full course meal. Ask him all the good questions about how he got so rich and successful and what books he's reading.
Also take someone you know who is old but has messed up his life, who's not living the life he always wanted, someone who's not happy with the person he has become all these years on a lunch date and buy him a full course meal. Ask him all the questions to how he messed up his life for so long. Don't you dare not take notes.
