I once contacted a man who said he was offering a business deal for people to “make their money work for them”. When I asked if it was possible for the “really poor” to pay off the small investment he was asking up front, he said that his company did not offer that service as his business would provide for everyone 100% so it was not worth worrying about. I explained that his company would still benefit from these very poor people joining, just not as fast as if other people with money would allow him to benefit to begin with. I also reminded him about his initial boasts of how well he is doing (showing himself on his website with fast cars, big houses and wonderful holidays) and clearly not in “need” of any more money, unlike most of the people reading his Internet advert were… strangely, he did not reply!!!

I have found that most of these ideas are good – up to a point – but, when you add into the equation serious matters like “reality” and “moral obligations to your fellow man” and point out that our brothers and sisters around the world are suffering as a direct result of the very system these people are advocating, they suddenly don't want to talk to you anymore. Hmmmmm!

Success is not the size of your bank account, which you can't take with you when you “go”. It is the size of your heart! Virtue is its own reward!
