Personal Money Tips

2 days ago, I met a prospective customer, Mr. B who after hearing my explanation of products, started to tell me about a Bio-Disc. Being a logical skeptic, the item Mr. B showed me look like ordinary glass with lightly imprints of circles. That the product was distributed through Multi Level Marketing or network marketing, is another red flag to me.

I mean, if you have such a fantastic product, why wouldn’t the manufacturer sell it at what ever price and get all the profits, rather than share the money with the people in the network? Look at Viagra. Pfizer didn’t sell the drug through the network.

Although it might not be obvious on my blog, I’ve been somewhat of a person that challenges the status quo. Not all the time but enough times. Perhaps it has to do with stuff I’m reading and the people I hang around with. Not the people I hang around with physically but more indirectly through books, the internet and audio mp3 I listen to.

I wrote this post to illustrate a point. The point here is that when something is repeated over and over again, it is accepted as real even though there is nothing to prove it is the truth.

Have you ever heard the story of the Slow Boiled Frog? I’m pretty sure you have but for the benefit of those who haven’t, it goes like this.

Most people (after they have been told countless time, including me)belief that when you put a frog in a cool pot of water and slowly heat it, the from will get accustomed to the slow temperature changes and not do anything to escape. It will remain comfortable until it suffers it gets too hot and dies. Conversely, if you drop a frog into a pot of boiling water, the poor frog would do anything to get out it if can.
