Not sure how I feel about the "Nice guys finish last" bullet, but it was very interesting to read about all his success at a young age.

Edit: He gets very repetitive and sounds quite out of touch as you read. Regardless, I still enjoyed reading about the drive he had when he was young. Must have been hard to teach a student who makes more than you do ;)


Voltaire says that behind every fortune, there is a crime.

But I believe the opposite.

Assholes get very far, but rarely do they make it to the top. All the top people I know are actually great people.


I feel the same way about the "Nice guys finish last" point. Surely there must be some counterexamples of nice guys who have achieved great business success?


This just reads like an ad for Dell. As the pages (and banners) roll on, the tips get less entrepreneurial, and far less "must-read".


Mostly not worth reading.
