A super-majority of people here in the United States and around the world have one thing in common: They never got what I call 'The Memo.' They were never told how this world actually works. How do you prosper? How do you excel? At a more defensive and basic level, how do you protect yourself from societal injustices and a lack of fair play in the twenty-first century?
