No Marc, I am part of the herd. I think inside my square. I’m always up for a good lynchin’.

There’s about 18 articles written about this if people are interested in checking out the issues. What I think is that Rene told everyone how sick he was so he didn’t have to go to jail. His illnesses have been well-documented by psychiatrists etc. So he was saying he was too sick to go to jail, but not too sick to go to work… That was his mistake- sophie’s choice. Had he said he was well, he would have had to go to jail, but he could have kept his licence to trade. But one can’t have everything.

I can’t say I’m too sick to go to work, but I am well enough to go to the pub.

I’ve played around that website, and it seems you get the following:

* phone calls- the are about mentoring, networking, motivation etc.
* a couple of books and a spreadsheet
* 10 CD’s from one of the world’s most “Successful Real Estate Investors”. This person is unnamed on the website.
* Weekends away where you pay for your own accommodation, travel and food.

Have I missed anything, Traci-Lee?

Jaffa,

Go to google.com.au and type in “unemployment blahtown”. It should come up with a number of links to what you’re looking for.

Remember, google.com is a search engine, not an information portal. Anything you want about anything in the world, you should be able to find in google.

Act,

I’d have to say though… how many people who ARE actually in a cult, say it’s a cult? I would say one of the first things a cult leader would say to cult aspirants is “This is not a cult.” Not to say that your non-cult is a cult :o) But ya know what I mean :o)

Can one be one’s own hero? Probably… it’s called a narcissist. From dictionary.com:

1. Excessive love or admiration of oneself. See Synonyms at conceit.
2. A psychological condition characterized by self-preoccupation, lack of empathy, and unconscious deficits in self-esteem.
3. Erotic pleasure derived from contemplation or admiration of one’s own body or self, especially as a fixation on or a regression to an infantile stage of development.
4. The attribute of the human psyche charactized by admiration of oneself but within normal limits.

I just think everyone has faults and favours. I guess, for me, it’s the difference between liking the work someone does… and wanting to be that person. So I can read a guru book, and think, “good point”, but it doesn’t put me in awe of the person.

“Good” people do “bad” things, and “bad” people do good things…

Whether someone is a good writer, lover, sportsperson, cook, joke-teller, listener, mountain-climber… I dunno… i just see people as having different skills, and skills are valued differently in society.

I also think some people *seek* to be a hero… I am thinking of those RE seminar gurus who say things like “Look, I don’t have to be here- usually, I get paid $2000 an hour, but I am here because I’ve made a commitment to helping people blah blah…” Basically, someone can tell me what a hero they are, but you can’t command respect- one only gets it if deserved, not because people say how rich, beautiful, or smart they are. I think people talk themselves up when they are insecure.

But i must say I think Ian Thorpe’s done well :o)) I have been thinking though, that he’s lucky to have been in the 400 metre event at all though, given his disastrous fall :o( I wonder if that other young fella could have won that event if he had have taken his own position in that race.

I have no heroes. Some people i like, some people I respect, but noone is a hero to me. A hero is like a guru- someone to look up to. I look up to noone.

Jaffa,

I dunno if the book would need to say “How to make a Million on $45k or less.” I think that’s limiting. I dunno what the MAP participants earn, but the average income in Australia is about 45k. I still think if someone can make a million (I have to say net) on an oncome of 80k, they’re still doing ok. For me, I think it’s embarrassing to know the incomes or finances of people. I certainly wouldn’t be asking it.

Blue and green is the new black
