Wide reading which includes related subjects like psychology and anthrooology, and of course, a beard !

It is even better if you are bald with a beard. And, a cloak and staff always helps...

Try naming one and we can continue from there. If you find a good one you just follow his example.

Or you can try to figure things out yourself and become one.
