We've entered an era when very good, competent people aren't getting jobs. One remedy is to stand out, to self-promote. If you do, you're going to get the nod over some co-worker.

Money is a terrible master but an excellent servant.

Economics is first and foremost about the thoughts leading up to choice.

I am indeed rich, since my income is superior to my expense, and my expense is equal to my wishes.

Business, that's easily defined; it's other people's money.

Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded- here and there, now and then- are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.This is known as "bad luck.".
