Charles Roos’s Summary

Rules of thumb:

1. Business class is no faster than coach.
2. A $10,000 stove will not make you a better cook, but a $20 bottle of olive oil will.
3. Walk away from idiots.
4. Weakness corrupts. Impotence corrupts absolutely.
5. Sometimes you have to take a punch just because you're right. Don't be afraid of taking a punch. Be afraid of pretending that something wrong is right.
6. Every time you talk to a child think, "What am I teaching?"
7. Tell the people you love that you love them every time you think of it
8. If you never feel overwhelmed then you aren't ambitious enough.
9. If you never feel humiliated then you aren't ambitious enough.
10. Life is passing you by. Stop reading this list. Go build something.

    Robert DeNiro wanted to learn about the CIA and intelligence work. My official job was researcher. My actual job was to go find him spies to talk to. I interviewed a former head of the Mossad, a former head of Shin Bet, the CIA guy who created the Contras (he has an AK-47 on his wall that he picked up off the tarmac during the invasion of Grenada!) and the CIA guy who ran US operations with the Mujahadeen in Afghanistan. I've never had more fun in any job and probably never will.
