i am looking for a mentor. but im not looking for just any kind of mentor, i truely believe that scam artist and spy detectives are great mentors. they are proven to have outstanding wit and un surpassed cleverness. i believe that in the growing world today only people like that will survive. When i first read the story of Count Victor Lustic who sold the Effle tower for a million dollars i was hooked( by the way the tower did not belong to him). I'm an orphan so i really raised myself. I admire those advance in life by using there swift cleverness. i am looking for serious answers only if your not looking to be a mentor please leave me a site of related issue.. thank you ..

There are countless "Count victor"s who do what is not right! But you don't get "peace of mind".
For books and Movies they can be hero's!
There are BILLIONS of money being made EVERY day in a ethical and legal fashion for every single dollar made using scam!
For every "Count victor" there is 100s of great people like Carnegie, George Washington, Mahatma Gandhi, Mother Teresa, Bill gates, who made it to the top!
They are the people who have made it to the top on what is "Good" and their beliefs. They are rock stars in their own right!
It is said Cockroach is the only species which would survive a nuclear attack. But you, and your generations have to live in sewers all day, every day for the rest of your life!
Well be a lion, fearless!
Be a cockroach or a Lion, its up to you!

Honey, bad company corrupts good habits. There are lots of mentors that you can find that are plenty smart and have great wit and get themselves out of all kinds of scrapes that are neither con artists nor criminally minded in any way.
And spies, while they do a great service to their countries, live lives that are filled with lies and deceit -- just as a part of their everyday jobs.
Some of the most interesting people I have ever met were Christian missionaries. They have smuggled Bibles into forbidden lands, been arrested and beaten, got out of prison, escaped through mountain passes to make it back to their families, and all with a smile and a song.
Lest you think I don't understand you, there are three skills that I wish I had: picking a lock, picking pockets and hotwiring a car. The problem is, the only place to learn these things is from a criminal, and then you're guilty by association. But I can't think of three better skills to get yourself out of a scrape, especially if you're a missionary!
I hope you find what you're looking for, but honestly, I hope you set your sights a little higher than liars and thieves.
Best of luck to you!
