Knowledge: A Path To Self Reliance

By Paul Martin


There is a very old Chinese expression that no doubt most everyone has at sometime heard and can relate to.

Give a man a fish and he's going to eat for the day... Teach that man how to fish and he's going to eat for his entire life.

The reason Why I mention this maxim is extremely simple... So many people are fed up to the back teeth of the daily schedule and having to work for someone else. Making them rich with your work and getting an insignificant pittance in turn. People desire terrible much to improve their lives either financially or in many cases, spend a little more time with family and friends. Some just wish for more time on the golf course. No matter what your loves in life we all wish a lot that we could participate in them much more.

This general approach held by so many individuals undeniably makes them awfully weak psychologically and they're going to jump at anything thrown in front of them that offers an opportunity to achieve their financial independence. Eagerly, they throw their money away on get rich quick schemes and overnight profit making programs that don't deliver on their promises.

I am really not pronouncing all of the hype out there is completely useless, as in fact most of these offerings will make you a little bit of money. The amount however, will not be consistent and after a short while once the search engines catch on to what is going on, they incorporate procedure changes and your money making site is in the money no more. The reason for this is reasonably simple. These so called Guru's of the Net are not going to sell you their secret to millions for fifty bucks. Sorry, however it just will not occur. They feed you tiny tried and slightly established systems that will yield you about a hundred or so a month, maybe more if you are Gung-Ho but that's about it. The majority are terribly short lived.

The techniques they teach are close to being outmoded as most life in it has been leveraged from it, and in a quick time these so called insider methods are useless. (The Net Is Extraordinarily Dynamic) Then the same Guru's are there to sell you yet another quick money making plan. Once again it will never last for long and each and every time these guys are getting your fifty bucks. They are just throwing you a fish and they keep throwing you fish. They feed you for a day and would like you to come back for more. That is how they make their millions showing you the simple way to make a couple of thousand or in most cases hundreds. (Pretty sure there are plenty of zeros as well)

Man unfortunately, is lazy. He wants the maximum return for the smallest amount of effort. This human flaw is what creates so many targets for cash making plans or what ever they call them on this occassion. Try to keep these easy ideas in mind. Nothing worthwhile comes easily. Hard honest work always pays off handsomely over the long term. Always target the long term picture.

During the past times of the gold rush, few found their fortune in gold. Lots more however , made fortunes selling picks and tools.
