The Average American – Please Don’t Be One!
May 26, 2009 | 28 Comments
Why would I say you shouldn’t be an average American? Because the average American is fat, stupid and broke. Don’t believe me?
* The average American is fat. 65% of all adults over the age of 20 are overweight and 31% are obese.
*The average American owes $10,000 on their credit cards.
*The average American reads at a seventh grade level.
*The average American doesn’t read a non-fiction book after graduating high school.
*The average American has little or no savings. In fact, the average 50 year old American has less than $2500 saved.
*The average American spends nearly six hours a day watching television.
*The average American complains about how hard they work, yet studies tell us that they only work half the time they are on the job.
*The average American parent spends only 3.5 minutes per week in meaningful conversation with their children.
*The average American doesn’t exercise, doesn’t read, doesn’t communicate well, eats nearly twice as many calories as necessary, and is obsessed with the mundane and the superficial.
The Secret Is A Total Load Of Crap
May 18, 2009 | 54 Comments
People are scrambling to find some secret that will help them be more successful. There are thousands of books on the market claiming to have all of those secrets. In fact, the bestselling book on the planet for the past two years is a book called The Secret. Let me repeat my opening line when it comes to this book: The Secret is a total load of crap!
People love that book and the whole concept behind it because it promises you that you can achieve the results you have always dreamed of simply by focusing on what you want. Yeah right. Most people can’t turn the television off long enough to focus on their health, their work, their finances or their own children. Focus is not a strong suit for most people. Besides, I think it takes a whole lot more than “focus” to change your life and results. So I’m not buying it.
There are also many popular motivational, new-agey gurus (bozos) who say you can “manifest” what you want? What the hell does that even mean? You don’t manifest anything. You create your results based on what actions you have taken or not taken. Manifestation is a trick word that we love to hear because it doesn’t imply any effort is necessary. Don’t be fooled by these idiots. And yes, I know most of these idiots who are saying this stupid crap and they truly are idiots to be telling you this stuff and I think they should be ashamed. And you should be ashamed for believing it! Wake the hell up and use some common sense!
