Most people I talk too who have crappy existances dismiss this advice, yet I followed all the self help stuff and right now my life has turned out so much better. Although I read books not stuff on the internet.
End of day comes down to this, people are super pathetic have no willpower can't even lose weight or quit smoking. So they aren't in a hells long shot going to ever get rich either... no matter how many books they read then they dismiss it as crapp because they suck and couldn't follow through, after all it's easier to blame someone else or something else instead of yourself for failing right?
Oldest pattern in history for me seen it so many times.
hmmmmmmmm
Edit: All those points VERY VERY VERY spot on. I've also read them elsewhere and heard them many other places.
Average people would rather be entertained than educated. Rich people would rather be educated than entertained.
Most people can't even pick up a book and read it...
