Lack of understanding of macroeconomics

The ethic of the Choose Yourself era is to not depend on those stifling trends that are defeating you. Instead, build your own platform, have faith and confidence in yourself instead of a jury-rigged system, and define success by your own terms.

A bit over the top?

Bullshit

You need to build a positive base: physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Once these four “bodies” are working in harmony, you can reach out into the world. You build the foundation for the house you want to live in.

Maybe you should try remembering this yourself

Too lazy to look things up and cite a source now that's arrogant and selfish

no creative person has ever complained about too much walking.
