"To get to where you want to go in your chosen field, be prepared to use all the tricks in your bag: a willingness to work harder than anyone else in the room; an openness to chance and unexpected opportunity; the ability to seize that opportunity when it presents itself. Most of all, never forget the fundamental art of being friendly, because you never know when someone you've met in an elevator, reception room, or at a movie screening will give you an essential tip or key recommendation - or appear on the other side of the desk in a job interview."
