Be the eternal optimist. Reconcile yourself to the pursuit of self-interest. You can’t predict a hero. The truth is never wrong. Humanity is just as important as hierarchy. Joseph Grano repeatedly shows how these six principles have served him well—whether faced with financial bullets or real ones.
