I had a roommate who was one of the most foolish men I’ve ever seen, let's just say he had plenty of men issues as you'll soon figure out. Named Ted, he was notorious for consuming and dealing in drugs. He would often laze in his room smoking marijuana and playing popular music at deafening volumes that would drive the rest of us crazy. Once, when we just couldn’t get some sleep, we turned of the switch supplying power to his room and, believe me, he didn’t even realize that we did it. He tried getting some income through his sloppy drugs and incense selling business.
Among the brainless activities we found him doing was his attempt to set up an internet business. He downloaded a program that advertised itself saying that it would help him sell anything and earn money online. It seemed from the advertisement that all a person needed to do was sit back and watch money rolling in. However, the truth was far from this.
Let me explain. How is it possible for one to earn money online selling amateurish stuff no one would be really interested in? Wasn’t Amos trying to sell a kind of inferior product, competing with probably hundreds of thousands of other people trying to do similar things to earn money online? Forget about making money online, he never succeeded in making any significant amount of money selling incense in person. He didn’t have any beautiful web site or something online. He though that all he required to earn money online was a simple software program.
We would struggle to explain to him that it’s not so easy to earn money online, but his only response would be his empty, peeved look that was forever there on his face. It seemed impossible to make him understand that there exist something known as the laws of economics, or that there are so many people competing in vain to sell similar kinds of things. We soon decided to leave him alone burrowing his own grave with his get-rich-quick scheme. |
