Simple.Ology....Knowledge to Share!

Which of the following statements are true?

A) The Great Wall of China is the only manmade object you can
see from the moon

B) You might die if you have a fan on in your bedroom while you
are sleeping

C) The Daily Journal ran a competition to see who could save the
most daylight in honor of daylight-savings time

D) Marlboro cigarettes are connected to the KKK

E) You are 97% more likely to achieve your goals if you write
them down.

So, which are true?

As it turns out: only one.

Do you find that surprising?

If so, I'm not surprised. Most people guess that at least 3 of
the above statements are true, but what can be learned from that
is what's really shocking ... (read on)

A. The Great Wall of China myth started before it was possible
to prove it one way or another. It was later disproved when man
finally did make it to the moon. The lesson? Until something is
proven it is purely speculation.

B. This may sound crazy, yet in Korea this is still a commonly
held "truth," even amongst highly-educated people. The lesson?
Just because society says something is true does not mean that
it is.

C. This is actually true. It appears that the Journal staff
didn't really understand the meaning of "Daily Savings Time."
The lesson? Sometimes we dismiss facts simply because they sound
“out of this world” – yet doing so can put us in error.

D. This is another myth, and one so powerful it spread across
America to become common knowledge all the way in Europe. The
lesson? Sometimes people spread information that simply isn't
true.

E. Some success gurus quote a study conducted at Harvard or Yale
where 3% of the graduating students wrote down their goals. It
is then claimed that 20 years on, the same 3% had more net worth
than the remaining 97% combined. This is often cited as truth,
but in fact, the study never happened. The Lesson? Even alleged
experts often get the facts dead wrong.

Interesting, no?

What if this same level of precision could be applied to the
teachings of success and life?

That is what Simpleology is all about. It is the simple
*science* of getting what you want.

No fluff. No myths.

Note from RoyalBitch:
Guys...go grab the book. Read it....it's SIMPLY a great source to understand the nasty world
