A degree may open up doors for you but it doesn't guarantee personal or financial success. In fact that's one of the main reasons I set up <a href="http://richgrad.com">Personal Development for the Book Smart</a>. Often, people who excel in academics lack the life skills needed to survive in the school of hard knocks. Through interviews with successful people and sharing lessons I learnt from books, seminars and my personal experiences, it is my vision to help the book smart create richer and more fulfilling lives. Why take me seriously? Well, I have already left my job to work on this full-time. Markk, I agree that Study will only get you so far.

Preparing for future down times takes discipline. #4 (Don't compromise your integrity) is crucial I think.
