This article is a re-statement of an old note of mine.


1. If you want to become an important person you need to do three things.

2.     Work hard.

3.     Be truthful. This effectively means don't lie but it's more than that it's an attitude.

4.     Be faithful to your partner.


5. If you do these three things then you will become an important person. You might not be a president or prime minister, but 
you will develop the personality of an important person, and you will be an important person in your community.
