The big high street shop is responsible for selling products that were exposed as highly toxic… killing thousands of people… and imagine if someone that you knew, or someone in your family, was one of them…
Would you buy anything from the brand of that product ever again?
Well consider how the families of the thousands upon thousands of people killed by these particular products.
Take a few moments to absorb this breaking news from Bloomberg if you will of Merck paying more than 3,100 Vioxx death claims.
And I’m a stock market investor (small time but I do invest). But buying shares in companies such as Merck is strictly against my principles.
I wouldn’t take their drugs. I wouldn’t recommend anyone takes their drugs, any of them, ever, with one single exception. You are literally on your very last legs having just had a major accident and for some reason the only course of action is some pharmaceutical stimulant (probably 1 chance in a billion). And I also would never encourage anyone to support such companies by buying their stock or buying any other brand of drug they make.
Got a cold? Got a headache? Got heart burn? Got the flu?
Live healthy. Drink water. Take natural cleansers like vitamin C and garlic. Suffer the damm cold or flu and look after yourself and you’ll probably be much better off in a few days than what you risk by taking those pharmaceutical drugs. Stay away from the doctors office.
Reminds me of the joke about the doctor… An apple a day keeps the doctor away, especially if well aimed.
And yet people STILL stupidly, mindfulness, ignorantly believe that taking chemical drugs from companies like Merck are either necessary or good for you.
Go figure…
You wouldn’t buy form a shop that killed your uncle. Well consider carefully the impact of pharmaceutical drugs within your family and circle of friends. Choose where you invest, where you buy from, and who the heck you vote for.
Live long and prosper.

Winning Through Intimidation by Robert J Ringer
I just found my notes on Robert J Ringer’s excellent book Winning Through Intimidation
Here are excerpts from the book:
Try as I did, I was not able to come up with a more appropriate opening punch for this book than the one used by Ayn Rand, a philosopher writer eons ahead of her time in her masterpiece, The Virtue of Selfishness.
The title of this book may evoke the kind of question that I hear once in a while: ‘why do you use the word selfishness to denote virtuous qualities of character, when that word antagonizes so many people to whom it does not mean the things you mean’
To those who ask it, my answer is: for the reason that makes you afraid of it.
THEORY OF SUSTENANCE AND A POSITIVE ATTITUDE THROUGH THE ASSUMPTION OF A NEGATIVE RESULT
assuming failure
realistically assume that he won’t make the sale
paradox that I prepared myself for long term success by being prepared for short term failure
Key importance – forget about the negative result itself.
Surest way to become sloppy in your technique, and thus make costly errors, is to allow yourself to become mentally and physically fatigued.
UNCLE GEORGE THEORY
Insight on my part – only eyesight
Uncle george someone who has worked very hard over the years, played it square, kept his nose to the grindstone, yet never had any great financial success.
THEORY OF REALITY
One single factor is most responsible for failure – inability to recognize and/or refuasl to ackwnoledge reality.
Wish vs reality
Another fcator that could blind a person to reality: illusion vs reality. So become skeptical and cynical.
THEORY OF RELATIVITY
consider facts in a relative life
carefully defined
honesty
Honest or dishonest relative to the facts in a given situation or relative to some arbitrary set of standards.
I want him to carefully define what he means.
Success – relative to some standard?
THEORY OF RELEVANCE
Primary factor to consider is whether or not it’s relevant to what you’re trying to accomplish.
Discussion of honesty, not only relative, but it is also irrelevant when it comes to business dealings.
THIRTY YEAR THEORY
Most peole tend to block from their conscious minds the relaity that they’re going to die
I only had about thirty years left, i had better go after all of the good things i could get as quickly as possible
ICE BALL THEORY
Rediculous to take myself too seriously, because years form now it wouldn’t make any difference anyway.
50 billion years there won’t be any sun at all
Earth will then be nothing but a frozen ice ball
Look at life as a big game and at business as a sort of huge poker game
No way you’re going to get out of this thing alive, anyway, so why play a conservative game.
[Gav’s comment: Holding the perspective that in fact we can extend life if only we bring about the necessary conditions for it, actually leads to an even less conservative approach to life. So yes, we are going to live forever if we become extreme enough to take back control of our lives from Politicians)
ORGANIZE CHEMISTRY THEORY
court holder
champion intimidator
guy at a cocktail party with on elbow on the mantle, drink in other hand, group of information straved puppies flocking around him while he explains how utterly simple it all is
After my experience with ‘you’ I was able to focus on intimidation as the key to winning
Don’t allow yourself to be intimated by know-it-alls who thrive on bestowing their knowledge on insecure people. Put cotton in your ears and blinders next to your eyes, and trudge ahead with the confidence that whether or not someone else knows it all isn’t really relevant; the only thing that’s relevant is what you know and what you do.
What someone else knows or doesn’t know will not affect your successs.
THREE TYPE THEORY
Type one he’s out to get all of your chips.
Two: assures you that he’s not interesting getting your chips and attempt to grab all of your chps anyway. Spends a great deal of time expoudning on thie virtues of dealing only with people who had reputooation for being honest people of integrity like himself. and he wasn’t shy about tossing around the hmaes of competitors whom everyone knew were less than scrupolous – later i was to learn that htis kind of talk is a dead giveway for a type number two: ’holier than thou’
Three: sincerely means he’s not out to get your chps and ends up trying to grab your chips. non-altruistic subconsci mind will atuomatically regular his actions. (Impossible to be intimated if always wiling to walk a way from any deal)
LEAPFROG THEORY
Proclaim yourself to be above others in your field, leapfrog over them, and eliminate your competition by simply refusing to acknolwedge it.
THEORY OF INTIMIDATION
Results a person obtains are inversely proportionate to the degree to which he is intimidated.
POSTURE THEORY
Status of your posture at the time you speak.
It’s not what you say or do that conts, but what your posture is when you say or do it.
image power
wealth power
performance power
Premedidtated apathy – day in and day out you can view apathy – premeditated apathy – all around you, in all walks of life; just take a good hard look.
Success? Temporary Technique vs Permanent Principle
I learned a long time ago that people:
a. become distracted by, and
b. put there hopes into…
…techniques for successes in life that are only temporary.
It’s like if you were to throw someone into deep water a mile off
land. The person now has 2 choices.
They can tread water, which is a temporary technique to keep
themselves alive, but eventually they will become too tired and
drown.
The other choice is to find a permanent solution to their
predicament, which is to swim towards the firm ground of the shore.
Do you sometimes feel that you’re treading water?
I have gradually discovered NINE principles about the essence of
how we think and make decisions and navigate our way through life,
that are permanent…
Do you want to know, what they are?…
When you know these principles, the temporary techniques that you
may have been struggling with will finally work… After all, the
process of treading water (temporary survival strategy) is required
for swimming towards the shore (permanent survival strategy).
In 10 years of reading, I have not found these principles taught
anywhere. That is why I had to discover and write them myself.
This is a major development that has taken me 4 years to be able to
release.
If it doesn’t blow your socks clean off your feet, I’ll eat my hat.
