As part of my subscription to ILearningGlobal, I get to watch some awesome speakers in HD and read some GREAT books. Today I started reading Brian Tracy's Something for Nothing. I wanted to share with you the first couple of paragraphs.

"There is an emotional, economic and sociological epidemic sweeping across America and the world today, destroying individuals,
undermining societies and threatening the future of civilization.
This epidemic is rooted in the out-of-control and insatiable demands of thousands and millions of people to get something for nothing. This morally and ethically fatal illness can be contracted by a person gradually, or all at once. It is invariably fatal to success, happiness and prosperity. It is emotionally destructive and ultimately destroys the ability of the infected individual to accomplish anything worthwhile and lasting.
The something for nothing disease is like a cancer that can begin with a single cell, or a single opportunity to get "free money" in some way, and which then grows into a tumor. This tumor, or obsession with free money, soon metastasizes with the cancerous cells spreading to every part of the patient's life."

I see so many people touting the latest greatest free money makers online. It seems like every day, I am getting spammed with more and more of these offers to insure my financial future without having to do anything or shell out any money. Mr. Tracy has summed up perfectly his opinion of these "free" programs, and I couldn't agree more. Thanks, Mr Tracy!!
