Any top ten list of advice that includes the goal of getting a private jet... errrm I'm going to also go against #1 and be skeptical on this list.

Taleb is an all-around despicable human being. Also, he's got one of the worst website's I've ever seen.

Saw this on Barry Ritholtz's The Big Picture in August. Now it's on BoingBoing, too. Wonder what caused the spike again

I always liked his tip about avoiding people who have to wear ties at their profession.
