That's kind of always the secret to mega-success.
You have to have 2 out of 3 of the following traits:
1. Exceptional skill
2. Luck
3. Lack of scruples
- conradkay 1y agoReminds me of this quote from Margin Call https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ag14Ao_xO4c https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ag14Ao_xO4c "There are three ways to make a living in this business: be first; be smarter; or cheat" Though I'm sure people who are first tend to view that as skill or being a visionary, not luck
- bumby 1y agoWhat bothers me is when people treat the third as some sort of virtue. I think operating in the ethical gray areas makes them feel smart instead of unethical.
- etse 1y agoMorality is not about intelligence, but some folks believe living by morals is submitting oneself to the lack of intelligence (or stupidity even). The real [evil] geniuses prune their decision tree by not considering morality so they maintain optimum efficiency.
