... WHY ISN'T EVERYBODY DOING IT?

Most of you know I catch a lot of flak on my forums because SOME PEOPLE don't like the way I post.

One worn out argument that is used repeatedly is, "If this is so (simple, great, profitable, <insert your own adjective>), then why isn't everybody doing it?"

Simple answer is because SOYLENT GREEN is people!

We all know exercise is great, but how many actually exercise?

We all know smoking is bad, but how many do it anyway?

We all know which foods are bad for our health, but how many eat those foods?

We all know that we should save for our future and spend less than we earn but who does that?

The list is almost endless.

As long as there are people, there will always be some STUPID people and some smart people making STUPID decisions, where STUPID is defined as knowing better but acting otherwise.

Meanwhile, the RATS are still beating the Yale students.

Yes, the "road of success" is rarely crowded.

Never overestimate the competition.

Lol. Because they need a ton of bricks to hit them. Some will need less, some need more (sometimes, 100 tons)

Reminds me of the definition of insanity:
Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

If you want to be good at something-copy someone who is already good at it.

Because of its simplicity, the road to enlightenment is almost never followed.

We follow roads that make sense, the same sense that was inserted into us from children.

Only when most of us are in the gutter, we than follow simplicity because we have no strengths to do anything else.

It happen to me several times over, and still happening in less frequency as I learn how my mind works and train it.

{the picture represents you, serving up your wisdom...but, at the same time, lets people know, that they have to put, their own work in, if they want success...}
