zhlj real asshole

They hadn't mailed any. But they loved the
idea and thought it was "fun" to talk with a
creative genius like me and and they wanted to see if I could
give them yet another "killer" idea.

I was livid. I got as verbally abusive as I
could. I told them to never call me again. You know, to give
another person a really good idea, an idea that may solve a
major problem for them... and then... have them not even give
it a shot... well... that just pisses me off big time. I've
found out some things about myself in the last few years and,
one of those insights is... I
burn with desire to be a really
great teacher!

God knows how many people are rich because of
what I have taught them. I've received 3,000+ letters of
appreciation from such people. But it still gets me, it really
gets me, when I can't "get through" to someone.

Like most caring teachers, I am emotional
about my "students." I love it when they succeed. I
love it when they eclipse me.

But, you know what? I've been writing this
letter and giving speeches and seminars for more than a
decade... and... there are lots of people who've read nearly
every word I've written, been to most all the seminars I've
given, bought all my tapes and videos... and...

They Still Do Nothing!

And you know what I think? I think maybe, if
something comes too easy, many people don't appreciate it.
However, if they have to "work" to get your pearls
of wisdom, if they have to make a "mental
investment" to "get" what you have to teach...
well, maybe... they'll value it more, realize how precious it
is and act on what you've taught them.

Which brings me to why I referred to myself as
a "sometimes asshole" at the beginning of this
letter and, how, right here I'm going to prove it. (Actually, I suspect there's a lot
of people who have no trouble whatsoever with the concept of
Gary Halbert being an asshole.)
