Bill in Exile » Blog Archive » QUOTE OF THE DAY

{WHAT BIE IS ABOUT}

I'm Scott and I'm a New Yorker now living in Seattle and Bill is my oldest friend who just finished serving an almost 7 year prison sentence for selling meth.

Bill in Exile originally contained letters written between Bill and me while Bill was in prison as well as a bunch of other shit but Bill has, as of late, opted out of contributing and I've just been too lazy to change the name of the blog.
Some of what this site contains IS DEFINITELY NOT work safe and some of it may not be appropriate for those under 18 years of age. Navigate away if you have doubts. And if I've used an image for which you hold the rights and wish me to remove it or credit it please send me a POLITE email and I will be more than happy to do so.

QUOTE OF THE DAY

“In my experience, one of the seven habits of highly effective people is not reading self-help books.”

Josh Greenman on the death of self-help author Steve Covey.

A-fucking-men!

Hhmmm, I don’t know Scott, I think there is always something one could learn if they are open to receiving the information. A lot of it is common sense really and maybe it just helps to bring out what we already know and motivates people to put that instinct into practice. Of course our world is full of people who lack any form of common sense, I guess in that case they are simply fucked!

I think anyone who makes an effort to try and improve themselves and their lot in life should be applauded – what’s the alternative? – remain ignorant and low functioning because there’s a stigma against self help books? Don’t think I agree with Mr. Greenman.

I give props to Norman Vincent Peale’s “The Power of Positive Thinking,” which New-Ager’s recycled as “Creative Visualization.” I am not politically-correct on this issue; as an introvert, suffering depression, Dr. Peale’s writings did my mental health a world of good. I am not sophisticated enough to not learn from others; who hasn’t had a mentor in life and is the better for it? Or are some just born super-men?
