Career Advice From ‘The Most Interesting Man In The World’

I love uncovering tidbits about our financial lives in generally nonfinancial books, music, movies and even television commercials.

You’ve no doubt seen the commercials for the Mexican beer Dos Equis, in which a nameless, well-dressed, bearded man only described as “The Most Interesting Man in the World” shares supposed wisdom that is quite intentionally humorous—even hysterical at times. Here are some of the lines used to describe this gentleman:

• “Police often question him, just because they find him interesting.”
• “He speaks fluent French, in Russian.”
• “He once had an awkward moment, just to see how it feels.”
• And one of my favorites: “He lives vicariously through himself.”

He’s even taken a moment out of his busy schedule to give us some career advice in which he posits,  “Find out what it is in life that you don’t do well, and then don’t do that thing.”
