Most likely to succeed
“Succeed” is in the eye of the beholder…
Most likely to hit a home run
Most likely to please my boss
Most likely to do the work
Most likely to work for free
Most likely to stick it out
Most likely to change everything
Most likely to be trustworthy
Most likely to attract attention
Most likely to be invisible
Most likely to be worth it
