2. If you are in a position of power, you are happy.
I disagree because most extremely rich people are miserable. They want more and more, and they will never be satisfied. Desire is never satisfied, and no matter how much a person has, they will want more. Macbeth is a Thane and he still wants more power so that he can be the king. Even kings want more power over more land.
6. Sometimes you have to do things other people consider wrong to get ahead.
I agree because most nice people get stepped on, and the most ruthless of people get rewarded. A thief who gets away with stealing receives what he took, but the kind person who didn't report him has his stuff stolen. All of the richest people have the slimiest reputations (think the Kennedy's) as fortune comes as a result for being a horrible person. Macbeth has to kill the king to get power, and he will be rewarded with power.

I agree with your first statement, but I don't agree with your second. I think that you can get just as far without having to do ruthless things and in the end you are happier and free of guilt.
