your position to advantage: work at
the top. 1t is the largest cake that
brings the most money.
Always keep your promise. Your
employer will never ask you to do
more than is po ossihle. Remember that
an untitled promise is as bad as a
downright untruth. Live within your
means. Never let month pass that
you do not put something in the bank.
