You need to be able to put your complete faith in the goodness of others to be able to work with a peaceful mindset, while at the same time having the ability to siphon out the trustworthy from those whom you cannot trust. Allowing yourself immense access to information, mixing it all up, and trusting people you deal with are factors which Harrison believes that will enable you to make sensible decisions and help in the progress of your life.

You must share information freely, and never hide information from anyone. When you give away all your ideas you create the need to replenish them, which opens the door to creativity and innovation.

The people who do the best are those who are most interested in others.

In this article Harrison suggests that you need to be in favor with the right people. These people have an ability to control what happens in your career. People with strong and influential opinions exist within all companies and organizations. It is important to cater to and get the approval of people who have the ability to influence the opinions of others one way or another. When you go against people with the power to influence others they can turn against you and make your career and life much more difficult. You do need to be aware of the game going on and you do need to play it, or at least play along with it to get ahead.

There are people to take action towards their goals, and then there people who sit on the sidelines and comment on the first group of people. People who are mostly interested in gossip and watching others usually lack the confidence and determination to take action themselves. The most successful people go account and accomplish things rather than sit back and watch others make things happen.
