An Echo

in our life we say, there comes a time, there comes a day...when all is over, said and done...no words spoken can mend, no promise made can assure...our eyes are opened, we've met the end...
It is not the quantity of friends that we have that is important, but rather the quality of those friends we do have...

Makes You Wonder


Do you ever read the junk mail that comes to your inbox? It is virtual who's who of get rich schemes and gurus. The puzzling thing is though, they want to help others get rich too. The part I don't understand is why they want to charge for it. I mean they go on and on extolling how easy it is and how profitable it is, that it only takes a few minutes a day to use their program and in no time at all, you will be independent and wealthy just like them. Cruising around some tropical island on your yacht while your website is banking your money.

If it is so profitable and guaranteed to work, why do they want to charge you for, after all, they do say they want to "share" it with you and when was the last time someone charged you to share something? But for $19.99 to $69.99 they will be happy to share with you their secrets to fortunes untold so that you too can enjoy the life style of the rich and famous. Yes for a mere investment on your part you could be dancing with the natives in Tahiti before the sun sets.

So if it is so successful why do they want their money up front? Why can't they take it out of the first million you make, after all it is a money back guarantee. And why do they sell it so cheap? I would be happy to share 10% of the first million I made with the person that helped me make it. You think maybe, just maybe it could be nothing more than they have been labeled in the past? A flim-flam game? Snake oil and cards? I mean come on, why on earth would someone want to share such a guaranteed way to millions or why if they were so successful would they come out with a better marketing plan. Proof is in the pudding I have always said. Make me rich first and then charge me. Do not insult my intelligence and try to make me think there is an easy way to financial freedom just by following those basic steps and simple instructions. If that was the case, then no one would be poor and we would all be eating rainbow stew.

Ah yes, so easy if you just send them the pittance they ask for and soon you will have other millionaires that they were responsible for getting them on that paved path of riches mentoring you on your way to fame and fortune. So I am beginning to think they made their fortune on the gullibility of others. And that yacht they speak of is nothing more than an inflatable raft they picked up in a garage sale that they float on some public lake somewhere. And those lovely Tahitian girls? Exotic dancers at a club on some part of town you wouldn't walk a doberman in. And those mentors? Someone he plays cards with at the local welfare office. Yes...rich and famous in his own little world.
