Three Rules for Success in Business

When I left academia and took a position with a large corporation, my father gave me his "three rules for success in business." They are

1. Always tell the truth

2. As far as #1 allows, make your boss look good

3. Always be very nice to the receptionists and secretaries, because they can choose not to help you.

More than 15 years of experience in that corporation has proved the wisdom of these three rules!
