I just wondered if you suffered the pains of success and had achieved the success you are now saying these people should learn to eschew. And now that you have achieved the joy of suffering you know these 20 million or so Chinese that left the LCF fold last year should be satisfied with living the life of low wages where camping at a pay site is a hardship. Is it hard to convince such a life is better than one where you can afford to visit other countries and experience different cultures? Because that is part of what success is all about. But then maybe if you explained the joy of suffering to the rest of us??

So again you know these truths because you have been where the ones that have gained financial success have been and found the experience wanting?
