Time is of the esscence.

We live in a constant world were we are not judged by who we are, but rather by what we have. A world where premium brands triumph over premium moral values. A woman's marriage is based upon the carrot that enshrines her finger and a man has no value of his time or others if he does not sport a time piece hailing from the Swiss country side.

I must admit that we are all guilty of these biases, but the true genius understands the reality of our world and embraces it in a way fitting to his aspirations and values.

The truth is simple, it takes money to make money, to be taken seriously, whether in the world of business, politics or academia, we must display outward signs of quality and respect. Investing in certain quality luxury goods not only help lift the perception of others around us, they force us to live up to those expectations as well. We must understand that there is a difference between wasting money on unnecessary luxuries and investing in quality luxuries that enhance our image and help accelerate us into positions fitted for the finer gentleman. A few simple investments will not only elevate our lives, but will also give us the drive to live up to those standards.

1. Shoes, my father told me that 2 well made quality shoes are better than 6 cheap pairs. Not only will the 2 pairs outlive the 6 cheap ones, people will acknowledge that you are a man of character and commitment deeply rooted in value, just like your shoes.

2. Automobile, that being said I don't expect everyone to have the ability to purchase a Porsche or Aston Martin, but I do expect a man to have a car that displays his vision for the future. A well equipped Japanese or German import such as the Infinite or BMW will do the trick.

3. Suit, no matter what the brand or price tag, a suit that is fitted for your body type and with the appropriate fabric is necessary. If you are dressed in a suit that looks clumsy and unkempt, you will be treated as if you are clumsy and unkempt.
 
4. Watch, men do not wear jewelery and for that reason a man's watch is all his accessories wrapped up into one. A man's watch alone says more about him than any other accessory he owns.Your watch gives others a humble glimpse into your soul.

 Everyday of our lives is a first interview, and to make sure we make a smashing impression with all the new faces we meet daily, we must not only bring are "A" GAME, but also look the part.
