He talks about how feel-good, politically correct teachings created a generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world.

I mentioned it here earlier that I was thinking pretty deeply about the brain recently and how it is a super computer but that we supposedly only utilize about 5-10% of it most of the time - so I thought that we might need a new software like a desktop of laptop needs a new software or operating system to make it work more efficiently -

are seeming a little bit out of proportion at the moment!
Imagine a world where advertising billboards - store signs - book covers - newspaper and magazine ads, tv and radio commercials - mailed brochures and handout pamphlets all don't exist - the lack of stimulation would be numbing - for those professing permission marketing - how would anyone know what to Walter Paulhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15974098797053338884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5638500.post-1060777257293664002003-08-13T05:20:00.000-07:002003-08-13T05:25:45.863-07:00Imagine spending hours, days, weeks, months, years or generations developing client interest and satisfaction only to have the client be distracted by a new product or service in a fraction of a second - Walter Paulhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15974098797053338884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5638500.post-1060259264764570692003-08-07T05:27:00.000-07:002003-08-07T05:29:18.983-07:00The key to fixing the economy of this nation and the world as a whole -
as well as improving sales in each individual business throughout all their occuring daily transactions
or
changing the reaction of individuals to you in your
daily interactions -
boils
(comes) down to a
mere
change in attitude -
this can happen in the blink of an eye!!! ;-)
Let's do it and make it so! :-)

Remember that time is money
He that can earn ten shillings a day
by his lobor, and goes abroad,
or sits idle, one half of that day,
though he spends but sixpence
during his diversion of idleness,
ought not to reckon that his only expense;
he has really spent, or rather thrown away,
five shillings besides.
