Rather than pursue a potentially great opportunity with someone who repeatedly shows, through his actions, that you’re a low priority with him, you’re almost always better off, in the long run, to deal with people who offer you less opportunity but demonstrate, through their actions, that they consider you to be a top priority.

If you’re serious about getting ahead in life, you simply don’t have time to sit around and wait for someone to give you the honor of returning your emails or phone calls. It is much to your benefit to let the world know, through your actions, that your time is valuable.
