I just think denial is the root of all failure and stupidity. You might as well know what you're up against.
So if I understand you correctly, you believe that I am in denial and wasting my time with my efforts, and you're attempting to show me that.
But I have to say that a belief in or expectation of failure is the surest way to fail. Is it possible that I might fail to become a millionaire in spite of my efforts? Sure. Is it a certainty? Not unless I adopt your beliefs!
I can bet and win, 100% of the time, that you will never become a millionaire with such faulty, negative, failure based beliefs. You have defeated yourself before you ever began. I can bet on myself becoming a millionaire and have a much better chance of winning now than I would if I ever did choose to limit myself the way you have.
On top of that, I would have to say that the book you suggest is at best questionable in it's logic and conclusions, and at worst preposterously in error logically.
So we will agree to disagree.
