I tried to un-know the fact there wasn’t one in many ways. I kept a close tally of who knew I was and wasn’t drinking and made sure I had a few reserves to hang with. I didn’t let anyone in AA or other sober circles get too close to me. I kept quiet about my going-ons, compartmentalized. I told partial truths to everyone and the whole truth to no one.There was nobody watching me at home now that I was separated, so…nobody was watching me at home. I used the excuse that a few good friends had decided to leave the program, that after ten years of sobriety, my dad decided to start drinking again and seems to be just fine. I searched for that third door with the desperation and denial of someone in the deep grief of unexpectedly losing a loved one. Surely there must be another way. Surely they can’t be gone. Surely I will wake up, and this will all be different. Surely this is not my life. That's all the puzzles in The Dark Castle quest completed! You can now confront The Forgotten and start the next quest, The Remembered. The best negotiating tactic is to build a genuine, trusting relationship. If you’re an unknown entrepreneur and the person you’re dealing with isn’t invested in you, why would he or she even do business with you? But on the other hand, if the person is your mentor or friend, you might not even need to negotiate. Elliot Bisnow

Mystery makes history. (the people you're going to impress by posting things online aren't the people you should care about impressing)(I have mixed feelings on this one) Personal Tidbits: Never knew of Stefan Weitz, Qi Lu, and Dean Kamen before this book, and others but it's these three I feel indebted for the introduction. Stefan Weitz, Briana, Talia are the best. Cal and Larry know. Bill Gates comes across as someone to get to know in person (without the motives of the author) and not through another person’s experience of him, but that can be said about everyone interviewed in this book. And for some strange reason I want to thank Elliott for always being there for Alex and his dad. After another chat with The Forgotten, turn right and head towards the bed in the distance and talk to The Forgotten again. You need to focus your magic on the bed this time after your conversation, but it can be a little fiddly. The best position to focus your magic is at the bottom of the bed near The Forgotten. You might have to push them aside and get really close to the bed for the prompt to appear like in the picture below. I wanted another option. The two I was faced with were both equally undesirable, impossible: to keep going as I had or to get sober.

If I gave you the map that Lewis and Clark made, it would be pretty easy to get from here to the West Coast. That's why everybody remembers the names Lewis and Clark and nobody remembers who read their map and took their trip the second time." Gates was selling IBM on his speed in a way that was obviously impossible. In reality, it took Microsoft months to deliver the software. But that didn’t matter in the long run. What mattered is that Gates understood that one of the problems large companies have is they move slowly — so he was selling them on what they needed most. Society feeds us this lie that you need to do x, y, and z before you can achieve your dream. It's bullshit. The only person whose permission you need to live an exponential life is your own." it's better to prove [through first principles thinking] that it can't be done than to exhaust the infinite number of ways to fail." Alex met with Bill Gates. The young author tried to pay attention to every detail in Gates’ office: furniture, books, and clothing. Then the interview started. Alex asked about how everything Gates learned in high school helped him with Microsoft. Gates started to ramble and Alex was nervous that the interview would teach him nothing. Alex then proceeded to ask a business question, but he was looking for a nugget of wisdom that the new generations would find useful. He then asked about Gates’ negotiating tactics. Gates suggested, “to find out your opponents’ fears and use them to your advantage.” Alex saw Gates’ answers as brilliant in retrospect. At the moment though, he was unsatisfied with the interview. During the interview’s final moments, Gates started sharing funny anecdotes, and they laughed and had a great time. Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Third Door

REVIEWS

Bored and questioning why he was at USC in the first place, he felt inspired by Bill Gates, who founded one of the most valuable corporations when he was about Alex’s age. He was also inspired by Steven Spielberg and Lady Gaga, among others. Right then and there, Banayan decided to write a book about the moment in those celebrities’ lives when they found a way to launch their careers. To fund this mission, Alex participated in the famous television show, The Price is Right. Chapter Two: The Price Is Right Even when you got rejected, like to have a meeting with Buffet, you got 6 free passes to Ohama which is still a win. Most people just never ask.
