Sample Book Insights:

#1 The most important skill you can develop is sound communication skills. If you are a salesperson, you want people to follow your advice. If you are a management leader, you want people to follow you in business. Whatever you do, good communication skills are essential.

#2 My first hero was my father, who taught me that what’s on your inner scorecard is more important than your outer scorecard. I wanted to be like him, and he gave me a lot of good advice. I married Susie, another hero of mine, and she helped me become well- adjusted.

#3 The author's old boss and mentor, Benjamin Graham, was a genius. He took a job with him when he was getting started, and never even asked what the salary was going to be. He wanted to be like those people he admired.

#4 I have made a lot of mistakes in my life, and I’m sure I will continue to make them. You just have to make sure that your mistakes are never fatal, and you don’t want to make them on the big decisions.
