Think for a moment that I granted you a right — you can buy 10% of one of your classmate’s earnings for the rest of their lifetime.
There’s nothing wrong with getting the highest grades in the class, but that isn’t going to be the quality that sets apart a big winner from the rest of the pack.
You’d probably pick the person who has leadership qualities, who is able to get others to carry out their interests. That would be the person who is generous, honest and gave credit to other people for their own ideas.
The beauty of this is that you already own 100% of yourself, and you’re stuck with it. So you might as well be that person.
