All these years I thought mothers were for cooking...

@Bl4cKeN1nG agreed.

@FreePress1000 I do not disagree that in a given case, lack of ethics may have been a stepping stone to "success". However i was just pointing out that it is not necessary (or sufficient) to have a lack of ethics to be "successful". There exists many paths since success can only be broadly defined.

@Bl4cKeN1nG In the case of Mr Murdoch, I suspect lack of ethics was a prerequisite to his "success", (at least his definition of success). If I was him, I'd feel like a very ashamed failure. He's not someone who should be held up to be emulated, but in theory I agree with you. Having said that, I think that having no concept of ethics, must help with monetary 'success' & probably power, as this would inhibit care and conscience, which would be a great help if you wanted his kind of success! :)

@FreePress1000 Ethics is not a prerequisite of success, however success does not preclude ethics =) i.e. they are independent.

Bought his book after watching this and couple his other videos.

I have a LOT of trouble with the IDEA part. I've got the other 7 parts down. I wish he had expanded on how to think of a good idea.
