If I read one more author who professes to have the ‘secrets to success,’ I think I will vomit. If there is any secret, it is that there are no secrets.

I don’t know about you but I believe there are fewer people with manors today than at any time in the past. - Do You Always Have To Be Right
Why is it that people have to be right? Is it ego? Insecurity? A form of manipulation? Or some other reason that they are unconscious of?
