aslz winners losers

I'll tell you something: This issue of my newsletter is
going to make a lot of my readers very uncomfortable. Why?
Simply because I know the difference between winners
and losers and, in this issue, I'm going to put the choice
right dead square in your face. I'm going to give you an
extraordinarily simple set of instructions and, if you do what
I say, your chances of becoming extremely prosperous are going
to be magnified by a factor of at least 1,000!

But most of you are not going to follow these simple
instructions. I know that already from past experience. And I
even know already the reasons you're going to give for not
doing what I suggest. These are the same reasons everybody
(including me) nearly always gives for not doing something
which will make our lives better. One of those reasons is not
enough time, right?

Well, that reason is not going to wash here because the
time involved is just one lousy day. Think of it: I'm saying
you only have to give up one
day to give yourself a 1,000 times better shot at
mega-prosperity.

And another reason is not enough money, right?

Sorry... that reason is not going to wash here either
because the money involved will probably amount to about $8.00
to $90.00 depending on where you live. And surely, even the
most directly-financially stressed of any of us can scratch up
that kind of dough, can we not?

And finally, we come to the reason that pisses me off
to no end every time I hear it. It makes my blood boil. It
infuriates me. And, this reason is only given by people who
have no understanding whatsoever
of what it is that really separates the achievers from the
pathetic. This reason for not doing something is: "You
don't really have to experience something to understand what
it is all about." Dummies who use this kind of reasoning
are people who smoke and proclaim they truly do understand
they are risking lung cancer. It's just not true. Go to the
Stehlin Cancer Foundation in Houston, Texas and hang out with
some patients who have advanced lung cancer, all of whom got
it from smoking, and ask any of them if they now believe that,
in the past, when they were smoking, they truly
understood what they were risking. Men can never truly
understand what it is to have a baby. Non-alcoholics can never
truly understand alcoholism. Straight people can never
understand what it is to be gay. Gays can't hope to thoroughly
comprehend what it is to be straight. And...
