This is so true. Its unfortunate, but we know everything happens for a reason.

Hi from Russia

Really deep thinking. You managed to put a whole vital philosophy in a few sentences.

Dear Adam
I have written to you before. I read the email \’Bad things must happen to you\’. It really makes sense. I have always believed in the concept that \’the only pre-requisite for super success is super failure\’. I think the cocept of delayed gratifications works. I am yet to get to the super success stage but I must tell you, I can see the light. I am a voracious reader.

I recently read the brilliant book, \’Outliers\’. What do you have to say about the concept of \’accidental advantage\’. There are things which make things easier if you are in a certain location, or a certain industry. Take this for example, I would have access to more of your sessions if I were in Singapore. I am not saying that I cannot fly to Singapore but people in Singapore have an accidental advantage, right?

Regards
Abhijit

Hi Adam… I have followed your emails for a while now. I have two “bad” happenings that have sprouted only good. I live in New York City and in 1980 I was beat up so badly that I made the decision of “never again” and have since studied martial arts. I have studied Xing Yi, Ba Gua and I Liq Chuan and now I teach Ba Gua to a growing number of students. I have been to Beijing twice for further studies and met a lot of nice people in the martial arts world. Very wonderful. All this because of 3 guys who jumped me one night along time ago.
My second good happening comes from losing half my money in the bear market starting in Oct. 2008. I took my money out from my brokers hands and signed on for a stock and option course and now trade on my own. Today I sold two small positions I’ve held for about a week and pulled in $1250. Not bad. Over 100% returns. I am still learning and all this because I lost more than half my savings in the market. Very powerful message you have there.

Very powerful message. I will pass this on because I believe that if it wasn’t for all the bad in this world, then we would never know what good is.

Dear Adam,
Thank you so much for your encouragement. I’m in a very dark point, but I’m not giving up. Did you ever hear that Abraham Lincoln failed in almost everything he tried except in becoming president and free the slaves.
I believe we all have a destiny and the struggle is finding it. I’m praying for the guidance to where I need to be and what to do to fulfill that destiny in the most efficient and prosperous, joyous way. I like the verse, “God has his way in the whirlwind” and in my craziness in life right now where everything seems to be going wrong, I’m asking G-d to have his way. Another verse I like is, “call out to me in time of trouble and I will rescue you and my name will be glorified.”
I have one of your e-books, but my computer broke – I’ll try to get it out and start reading it again. Thank you for your inspiration.

The tougher is the challenge, the greater is the satisfaction of achievement….

I wholeheartedly agree. And this financial crash was forecast at least 5 years earlier by channelled sources. The old has to break down and crumble to give way to the new.
