Well @surfermarly !
Authenticity and Honesty in any phase of life make your worth double and make one more prestigious when it comes to Business. Life is not a bed of roses so is the Success. Everyone has to work hard with specific aim like laser light, then success comes in ones feet. Development of Personality is necessary and i do agree upon this factor as you said;
Also growing the personality that will be able to implement your future plans requires time and discipline.
One become what he thinks and there is nothing which man can not get. The thing which one can imagen, chances are there he can get it through his character and hard work. Fraud and Cheating can ruin one's worth as in Quran Allah says;
“And measure full when you measure. And weigh with an even balance. This is better and its end is good.” [Al-Bani-Israel: 35]
