“There are only four types of person you can be. Identify yourself:

Very bright, Industrious (You’re perfect)


Very bright, Lazy (A damn shame)


Stupid, Lazy (You’l just sit on your ass, so you’re a wash.)


Stupid, Industrious (Oh, oh, you’re dangerous.)

If you’re a number 1 or a 2, you’ll get a lot out of this book. If you’re a number 3 or 4, why are you reading this book?”
