3 And he gave them a trinity to help them do it.
4 aThe Trinity of Harry is Desire, Certainty, and Blame.
5 You may know about this trinity already,
6 But you may not know that of the three,
7 bBlame is far and away the most important.
CHAPTER 101 When you're rich and powerful and in charge,
2 It's pretty easy to get blamed for things,
3 cAnd that can cost you a lot of money,
4 dAnd your job,
5 eAnd even your freedom.
6 But these are problems you should be able to avoid,
7 Completely,
8 Without having to think about it,
9 fAs long as you follow a few simple guidelines,
10 Which I'll be pleased to tell you about.
11 Are you still listening?
12 Good.
CHAPTER 111 If you want to stay rich and powerful and in charge,
2 Without thinking about it,
3 gRemember to blame others before they can blame you.
4 No matter what happens,
5 hNothing is ever your fault.
6 For example, if your icorporation is international,
7 You can blame practically everything on jexchange rates,
8 Which nobody understands anyway,
9 Except that they can't possibly be your fault.

CHAPTER 121 The next thing to remember is to surround yourself with stupid people,
2 And hire stupid people,
3 And promote stupid people,
4 Because smart people have a harder time remembering not to think about anything,
5 kUntil they've been blamed enough times, that is.
6 But why bother with them at all,
7 When there are so many stupid people available?
CHAPTER 131 Some of you may be saying to yourselves, "Why should I hire stupid people,
2 l"Since stupid people screw things up,
3 m"And never understand what you tell them to do,
4 n"And waste lots of time doing completely stupid, useless, infuriating things.
5 o"Besides, it takes them forever to get anything done,
6 p"Because they always have to have lots and lots of meetings,
7 "And then they do it all wrong anyway,
8 "So that their work is bad as well as late,
9 q"Which the CEO always gets blamed for in the end.
10 "So why should I?"
CHAPTER 141 There are two reasons for hiring stupid people.
2 In the first place, it's been a few years since Harry showed us the way,
3 rAnd practically everybody is already following the Way of Harry,
