You can tell it's him by the succinct and direct responses. It's a trait that's consistent across the most successful people I know.

- skeletonjelly 13y agoIn my opinion it's the other way around. Because they're successful, they're busy, they're proven with the tongue, they have to be succinct and direct.
- richforrester 13y agoI'd rather think it's a personality trait. Even someone who's not busy, or successful, can come across as direct and succinct.

- kmfrk 13y agoOne reason is that people have a vested interest in taking your words out of context and do a big non-story on your remarks.
- kevinalexbrown 13y agoThat's true, but the responses seem to be specific and tangible, rather than vague, which is what I might expect from someone worried about being taken out of context.
- Consultant32452 13y agoIf I were anywhere near being the richest guy on the planet I would have a hard time caring whether or not I was taken out of context. In fact, I'd probably just say all sorts of awful stuff that people would find shocking. That's probably one of the many reasons I'm not one of the richest guys on the planet.
