Beware of the Internet
“The thinnest human hair is half a million angstroms thick. Typing paper is a million angstroms. Yet the layer of quicksilver that turns plate glass into a mirror is only 700 angstroms thick. It would take 714 such layers to equal the thickness of a hair, yet it’s this impossibly thin layer that reflects a woman’s beauty. Beauty may only be skin deep, but the reflection of that beauty is one seven-hundredth of a hair.” – Roy H. Williams
Gnarled, nicotine-stained fingers type lies and false promises and onto a filthy keyboard somewhere, and you eagerly send your hard-earned money into the void. Not everything you read on the Internet is true. It’s an electric impulse from the electric impulse in someone’s twisted mind. As Christopher Hitchens would say, “…a plagiarism of a plagiarism off a hearsay of a hearsay, of an illusion of an illusion. extending all the way back to a fabrication of a few nonevents.”
My message is simple: when faced with exceedingly exciting offers and claims that urge you to feverishly grab your credit card and buy chocolate-covered dung before it sells out, whether at a seminar or as a result of reading tripe on the Internet, check out the facts in the real world. Do your due diligence. North America is the capital of BS – people have learned to lie in a very convincing fashion with no consequence. The worst conman leaps around on a stage and whips the sheeple up into a buying frenzy, and they thank him after being viciously fleeced. Be especially careful of “investments,” “consultants” or “coaches”, and “business opportunities”.
It’s worth kissing a few more frogs to find that prince. Don’t be so impatient that you marry a toad. Don’t bet your future on the message in a stale fortune cookie; there are some great, genuine opportunities out there.
