Theory of Proportion and Reward

The way the world functions leaves me wondering about all those people who talk about making their own destiny and being Masters of their own fate and other " You-Can-Do-It-If-You-Think-You-Can" kind of wisdom-the kind that Wellness Gurus and Motivation Experts propogate through there books, CDs, Cassettes and other media storage devices. The only people to actually learn or gain anything substantial from these books are the Publishers, Sponsors, Printing Presses and last but not the least, the Authors themselves.
Talk of spirituality and how we can learn from this book and that book, makes me think that I'm being silly and sceptical about things like this. More so when the kind of people who're talking about stuff like this are intelligent, free-thinking, people. Those that don't need loud, biased and insensitive News Reporters' opinions to build one of their own.
The point of this little peice is to high light the fact that there is no greater teacher than experience, retrospection and soul searching. The downside to this is that we have to learn to fall and fall to learn. But, honestly speaking, its the best way.
I can see myself on one of those book covers now. "From the author of the ThoughtWereHouse."
