I disagree.  What about character, morality, and honesty?  Those virtues count
too...maybe in a different way.  Chances are you will *not* always be able to 
get by cheating your way through life, but just suppose for a moment that you 
could.  What kind of a sick, twisted mind are you growing here?  Have you *no*
conscience?  What have you gained if you win the world, and lose your only soul?
Those who place their own private desires over what is honest are the ones who
inflict a huge amount of the misery in this world.  I choose to believe that there
is a special place in hell for people like this.  Often even their own lives
do *not*
turn out well.  As in: What goes around comes around.
