Access to valuable information or influential individuals will be futile if you do not have the ability to capitalize on the opportunities.
You can hang around 5 rich (money and mental wealth) people and still be broke.
What you do with the leverage is what makes the difference.
Be prepared for a future where you will be relevant.
– Pope
Prime concern
...ignoring all the things you could do and doing what you should do. ...recognizing that not all things matter equally and finding the things that matter most.
