Life affords us many opportunities and with opportunities come opportunists. Those who come out of the wood work, with an idea, or marketing scheme, to prey upon your fears, and lack of information. They are usually pushing a product or an agenda for shear profit, and they are easily recognizable, simply by the way they promote or advertise. One of the things they will do is degrade, or lessen the value of a competitors product or company, to draw you away from their competition, and they'll use those testimonies or cases where satisfaction was not achieved as proof that their competition, is a scam, or that their product is no good. If you know the saying no two people are alike. Then you would also have to accept that not all people are going to respond to a products application the same either. That doesn't necessarily mean that the product will not achieve the results it is intended for, or claims it will.The best example of advertisers who use deceptive means or diversionary, divisive, tactics to secure a potential customer-by attempting to destroy the credibility of another company-is to look at what takes place in the political area. Nothing's fair in politics, and war. You can learn a lot from elections and what one opponent will do to another to win. Even if it means distorting the truth, they'll often do whatever it takes to sow, seeds of doubt, in order to win, and after all is said and done, they'll kiss and make up, thinking little of what has been done to their supporters. Because after all its a competition. And the only competitions that seemed to have rules, is sports. In most other arenas it tends to be fair game to do and say whatever you have to to win. The same is done in the courtroom to win a case, which is an even more deceptive, and destructive arena, and some in the field would agree to the above with pride and adulation.So why then should it be any different in business. I've learn, and even very recently, that some business people are like children. Remember in school, when a kid didn't like you, so, they would put you down in front of others, just to make themselves feel better about themselves. They would do what ever it took to gain acceptance from others, even if it means destroying your reputation in the process. Well these same people grow up and take this behavior into business, politics, relationships, and any other endeavors they decide to engage in for the same reasons, competition, and recognition. The key in all of theses instances is to know it's happening, and to be prepared. Being prepared means being well inform. In politics, becoming well informed of the candidates, stances on the issues, will keep you from getting to personally attached, and more focused on their platforms. In law, there's no other way to protect yourself then to learn it, know it, and understand it. Be very informed, be very very informed. In business, the best way to know if a business is being truthful, especially when it comes to discrediting their competition, is to learn about the company, and look for people who can vouch for a companies, products and services. This would come in the form of testimonies, from people whom have exactly used the products, those whom have gotten results and those whom have not.Now you are probably wondering where does Oprah fit into the scheme of this argument. Well, simply because recently, there appears to be a company on the lose trying to gain traction for its own product and services, who's products, may be phenomenal, but feels the way to achieve their goals, is to declare their competition a scam. So my advice to anyone, who see's this ad, and wants a testimony to prove one way or the other, there is no better person to ask how they feel about the product then Oprah. Oprah seems to think this product is right on the mark, and unless this person who is calling their competition- presumably the Laws Of Attraction-a scam, is worth 3 plus billion dollars, who's testimony would you find more credible, theirs or Oprah's.My point here is not to pick on this company, which is why, I didn't mention their name, but to advise, people not to let companies or people, steer your thinking, for their benefit. Wallace Whattles, in the Science Of Getting Rich states, "Every person who becomes rich by competition knocks down the ladder by which he rises, and keeps others, down, but every person who gets rich by creation opens a way for thousands to follow, and inspires them to do so. Wallace Whattles wrote this almost one hundred years ago, and this sounds a lot like what Oprah has put into practice in her life.Whether or not you have an interest in the the Laws Of Attraction they do in fact work. And if you need, or desire a testimony, to back that statement up with, ask Oprah, whom believes they have had a great affect in her life or ask Jack Canfield, the author of Chicken Soup For The Soul series, another billionaire, who studied under a laws of attraction mentor, Napolean Hill.The reason I am adamant about this issue, is because some people as I mentioned in the beginning, do not look at the importance of who's lives they are affecting when in route toward getting what they want. So to protect, yourself and your interests, which is the things you want, get informed, and stay informed. Get the facts, so you aren't enriching other peoples lives at the expense of your own.Wallace Whattles also stated, "It is flagrantly wrong to coerce people by mental power as it is to coerce them by physical power. If compelling people by physical force to do things for you reduces them to slavery, compelling them by mental means accomplishes exactly the same thing: the only difference is in methods. If taking things from people by physical force is robbery, then taking things by mental force is robbery also. There is no difference in principle.Don't buy into deceptive tactics, be an informed consumers, and citizens, and your life to the fullest
