Lessons from The Godfather

many accomlished and very successful specs and investors have told me that the most helpful book for the young spec to read is The Godfather (and the movies, part 1 and part 2). what advice would you say is the most helpful in these works?

one lesson that is very improtant is never interfere with a relative's marriage and never say anything bad about a relative's spouse.

family and loyalty are keys to success.

never let the others know what you are thinking. and above all never disagree with the boss in front of rivals.

Big Al adds:

The Offer is a really enjoyable derivative work.

well, to be frank, a real short seller would do the total opposite. what do you think?
