Zen Garden > Money - How Do You Feel When You Discover that a Complete and Utter MORON Makes More Money Than You!

Money... morons... ? Sometimes you just have to shake your head in bewilderment - or amazement when you find out something that just doesn't seem to make any sense at all. There seems to be so many anomalies in this world. And here is one of them...

Hard working, intelligent and honest people often make a LOT less money than thieves, crooks and even complete MORONS. It doesn't seem logical, does it? Or fair! But logic and fairness have nothing to do with it.

You would think that clever and talented people who work hard and who strive to be honest and ethical would be the ones who make the most money. Not so. I know some people who are complete and utter morons who make so much money that it would make your head spin.

I am absolutely convinced that having a high IQ and being a paragon of honesty is no passport to making a lot of money. You would think that the universe would reward people like that but it doesn't.

So, how does it all work? How can a moron with the IQ of a thong size make so much more money than you do?

First, many of them virtually stumble upon an idea that works. It's a bit like the guy who trips over a rock and then finds that it is a vein of gold. In that case being a klutz has worked to his advantage. Often it's just pure, dumb luck. It doesn't take too much intelligence to keep milking something for all it is worth - once you find it!

The truth is - some people are just lucky. They find a method very early in life that works for them and they just keep repeating the process. Maybe one could argue that this is actually pretty smart.

If you shuffled two identical packs of cards and asked two people to keep turning over cards to see who was the first to find an ace then that would be a good example. One person might find an ace in the first two or three cards turned over while another person may go through more than half the deck. The law of averages would tell you that there should be at least one ace in every 13 cards (52 divided by 4 = 13) but it doesn't necessarily turn out that way. Life can be very unfair at times.

How does it make you feel when you find out that a guy who cannot spell, can't add up two numbers without using a calculator, has very little written ability and can who hardly string two intelligent sentences together, makes a LOT more money than you do? Especially when you work so hard and they seemingly do virtually nothing.

What does that tell you? Think...

Answer... making money isn't dependent on intelligence. Therefore it's not all that difficult. In fact, it's about as difficult as you want to make it. when you have a method or a system that isn't a job then it is about as easy as falling off a log - or tripping over a vein of gold - and any idiot can do those things.

Life isn't very fair when it comes to making money. Are you happy to stand in the shadows of financial dimwits? Isn't it time to start making some real money for yourself? If only you had a method...
