There is an idiom in germany for that, and thats "dangerous half-truths". well any idea can be dangerous. especially NEW ideas. i'd say 99% of new ideas are thought of as crazy first. ie. how long did it take people to accept that the world was round? obviously, a bunch of stuff out there IS bullcrap but how will you find gold if you dont dig through a bunch of worthless rocks first? people used to get killed for having different ideas! now the worst thing that can happen to you is a disapproving message in a comment box online. lol. there's different paths to the same truth. there's a lot of people teaching personal growth using different methods. the smart people can pick what works for them and what doesn't. the smart people also know that to achieve different results, different actions or beliefs are needed, new actions or beliefs. or else you get nowhere. i guess maybe that's why he named his site something cheesy like, "personal development for smart people?" lol. anyways, it's about the desired results/effects, the "what." the "how" is not so important, within reason.

Ha, it seems that Steve Pavlina is a well known persons around gitarists . The spirit seems to be back again!!! A lot comments make sence, and as somebody mailed me "I set the goal to be playing well when I am 65..."....it takes the pressure of and makes room for some fun again. Also spoke with my teacher...he was first shocked, he finded that I was doin well and therefore increased the difficulty quite a lot....I don't know what it means, but I was doin things for Level8....so we agreed to go way back down to level1/2.... Pfffff, so now I'm learning a easy tientos and that go's very well....now its also fun again just to play and find the right mood for the song.... From a physical point of view, I am now taking Ca/Mg tablets, which are very good for the nerve system, and so as it seems, and really does, does relax the fingers a lot...

ORIGINAL: at_leo_87 well any idea can be dangerous. especially NEW ideas. i'd say 99% of new ideas are thought of as crazy first. ie. how long did it take people to accept that the world was round? obviously, a bunch of stuff out there IS bullcrap but how will you find gold if you dont dig through a bunch of worthless rocks first? No, not any idea can be dangerous. The thesis that the earth is no disc, is opposed to the content whats written in such books like "Success - How to get success" or "Big - How to get big" or "Good - How to get good", not wrong. The reason why its called "half-truth", is because it gleams a sort of knowledge, opposed to obvious bullcrap. If you want to look for gold, i would leave the worthless rocks aside. Unless you are Sisyphus... I could write such books, you could write such books, and even people who THINK they need such books, could write them. Its based around fears and hopes, mixed in with some very general statements about life and world. Im not saying its evil. Im just saying its time wasting. If you want to get smart, hitting your head with a baseball bat could be equally effective, due to increasing blood circulation in the brain. Sounds like a new idea, no?
