“Many years ago a very wise man named Bernard Baruch took me aside and put his arm around my shoulder. ‘Harpo, my boy,’ he said, ‘I’m going to give you three pieces of advice, three things you should always remember.’
        My heart jumped and I glowed with expectation. I was going to hear the magic password to a rich, full life from the master himself. ‘Yes, sir?’ I said. And he told me the three things.
        I regret that I’ve fogotten what they are.”
