Lessons

“The hardest thing about being famous is that people are always nice to you. You’re in a conversation and everybody’s agreeing with what you’re saying – even if you say something totally crazy. You need people who can tell you what you don’t want to hear.”—Al Pacino

We live in a world where people love you for what they stand to benefit from you. We are surrounded by hypocrites who will never tell you the truth, but would easily lie to you just so that they won’t miss out of the cookie and milk in your hand. The rich is more vulnerable to being misled than anyone else; be careful the kind of people you choose as your advisers.
