There is a story I do remember and want to share with you all.
When I came to America several years ago I was working in a drug distribution center,and I encountered a young boy who was working there. He was wearing a pair of sneakers that used to be white,but was now embedded in dirt. So one day while we were discussing his sneaker I asked him "mike can't you was it"? His answer taught me a lesson that I will never forget. He said "Do you know how long it took me to get it like this!this
You see even though Mike knew that his sneaker was in bad condition he was comfortable with it that way. So are many people in our society who are broke and miserable. They have no desire to put out a little effort to change their situation in life. They have been broke for so long that they become so comfortable that they see poverty

as their reality.Recently I was talking with a young man who has three young children and I know for sure that this man is struggling to make ends meet. He is paying rent, driving the worst looking car in the community and works late hours. This man is so talented that he pulls down his computer and rebuilds. When I told him about Wealthy affiliate and all its features,he gives me a host of reasons why he cannot do this. There are different operating systems and he is not familiar with them. I stood there agreeing with him,while laughing at him inside.
Every day we here at WA come in contact with people like mike and this young man.NO amount of evidence is going to convince them ;because you see they are comfortable with their situation and they find it hard to get out of their Comfort Zone. As the nursery rhyme says "leave them alone and they will come home bringing their tails behind them.. Or take Mark Twain instead. "a man convinced against his will,is of the same opinion still."
