Killer stuff Ron. Thanks for sharing that with us..
Churned a couple thoughts...
1. Many top companies are now testing their applicants to see where they fit into your 45/45/10. Here is a test that determines optimism vs. pessimism and hope.

Pessimists aren't all bad, I
was one. However, they don't belong in many positions. An accountant being a good example of the right fit. Optimists fit into the culture, bounce back from adversity, and are more productive over time. They also tend to reduce turnover in the company.
2. Work on yourself EVERYDAY:
Physical: That means your physical health through exercise and nutrition.
Mental: Your mental attitudes of mind through learning and the right influences. Gaining and refining new skills like leadership. The awareness of your tendencies, strengths, and weaknesses. Managing your emotions.
Spiritual: Your deepest values like Faith, Family, Love, Integrity, etc.
The greater person you become, the higher your company can climb.
