Why
such inequality in an equitable system?
How unfair is the world? The sun and the
rain shines and pours on everyone. How can we explain that the top one percent
own the equivalent of the bottom 40% in our society? In the information age it
is critical we get the right information from the right sources. Hope the following
helps to explain such inequality. Please don’t take it personally. I am not referring to you. I
am referring to people you know J
Beware these folks would love for you to join their club for they love pity
parties! If you are not satisfied, then study the lives of the top one percent.
You may be surprised what you find. I can assure you will not find them as members
of any of the following clubs:
1.
The SFNC. The Something For Nothing Club. The members want
the results but are not willing to put in the effort to achieve those results.
The members of this club believe they are entitled to things without having to
work for them. Please tell them the world knows who they are. Stop expecting
others to provide for you and start taking responsibility for your upkeep.
2.
The AEC. The
All Excuses Club. The members of this club
suffer from chronic excusitis, the failure disease where self-deception rules
their lives. Please tell them we know their reasons are viewed by others as excuses.
Stop paying your dues with your excuses and start looking for reasons for doing
something productive.
3.
The IAAVC. The I Am A Victim Club.
The members of this club cannot wait to see you so they can tell you all about
the things that happened to them. These members carry a healthy dose of
negativity with them. Please tell them we know who they are. Stop thinking that
your circumstance happen to you and start thinking circumstances happen for you
so you can leave the club and live a better life.
4.
The AKANAC. The All Knowledge And No Action Club. This is
still one of the largest clubs out there. These know it all members are full of
ideas loaded with smoke and no fire. Please tell them that in life doing is
more important than knowing. Start finishing and stop quitting the endeavors
your endeavors.
5.
The MNRC. The Me No Read Club. These members never have time
to read. They are always busy. Please tell them that if they ready 15 minutes
per day they will read 1,000 books in their lifetime. Leverage the compounding
effect of applied knowledge and you will live and love your life. Stop watching
TV and start reading great books.
6. The AADC. The All About Distractions Club.
This club has experienced the fastest growth thanks to the social media. They
are the Facebook lovers who are interested in everything about everything. They
love noise. They know a lot about nothing. Facebook loves them and their money
($15 million of profit per day! So unfair; FB is making money on us!). Who build and keeps building FB and working for free? Please tell them we don’t need to know when their
parrot had a bleeding foot. Stop with selfies and self-aggrandizing and start coming
up with something of substance and value.
7.
The AAEC. The All About Entertainment Club. Members of this club also consume a healthy
dose of social beverages. Please tell them they are easy to spot. They have love
affairs with the lives of others. Stop keeping score in the lives of others and
start keeping score in your life.
Be part of the EBC
(a very prestigious club); the Excuses Begone Club!
