How to get people to help you.  You can't get there alone, and I believe in Karma
Tell the truth
Be earnest
Apologize when you screw up
Focus on others, not yourself

Don't bail; the best gold is at the bottom of barrels of crap

Get a feedback loop and listen to it

Show gratitude

Don't complain; just work harder

Be prepared: "luck" is where preparation meets opportunity
