They say that when the majority expect a certain result, such as in a ‘herd mentality’, the astute take notice and prepare for the opposite. There is such a predicament appearing right before our eyes, everyone can gain access to it yet most continue to ignore its presence.
The phenomenon I’m talking about is: ‘when everyone is doing the same things’, those of us who think we’re smart should start taking some steps to do the opposite. It’s a little bit like when fear starts gripping financial markets to such an extent that most investors become sellers and few become buyers.
When a farmer has had a few lean years and is cautious about what to and how much to plant in these trying conditions. The probability that the lean years will soon end is now much higher than when they started. He should in all reality now plant vigorously in anticipation of better times that will surely follow. But like the investor will he buy or plant when most are not.
Think about this for a moment. How many books do you own that are more than a hundred years old? There’s not that many around. How many do you own or can read at your local library that are over 500 years old? Maybe one. Probably not. How about 1000 years old. Apart from the Archimedes codex aged several thousand years, of which there is only one, in such poor condition that it’s almost impossible to decipher or read, there are few others.
Now that you know such books are scarcer than hens teeth, think of this. There is one book that’s been around for many thousands of years, took 1600 years to write, had 40 writers writing on behalf of its author, is circulated all around the globe, translated in every conceivable language, has many translations new and old, and has been printed into the millions of copies, that no other publication of any kind has matched or can ever expect to match.
For something that is so ubiquitous and readily available the contrarian thinker should stop and ponder why he hasn’t read it. In fact if you try hard enough you can even get a copy for free. That easy that accessible. Think about this. When few people are buying stocks and they’re readily available, very cheap you should probably buy some, maybe even many. When no one is planting seed in a great hurry and they’re readily available, even cheap, if you’re a farmer you should be busying yourself by planting plentifully.
Now when everyone is busy listening to all the so called experts on how to prosper and protect your capital in such a volatile world as the one we live in there is a book that’s free with plentiful advice on how to live a happy life and many a warning for our critical times.
If the investor would do well to buy when others are not and the farmer would likewise do well when others are hesitant to plant you to would benefit to read a book so ubiquitous yet read by hardly anyone.
For the same principle that governs a whole lot of other scenarios is definitely at play at this very moment and has been for quite some time. It will as always only benefit the few who abandon the predominant thinking of the many and take this magnificent opportunity by grasping it tightly and benefiting themselves to an extent far beyond the thinking of the most innovative of mankind.
In a world where few people have any idea as to where the worlds heading this one book alone gives advice and provides solutions far different to any other publication. The very fact that for hundreds of years this very books existence was under extreme pressure from various great organizations, even having its many translators burned alive or beheaded, nonetheless it is more ubiquitous than an ordinary fly.
You should ask yourself why its here and who saw to it that its available for all to read. Most people view it with the same regard as they do most fly’s. If you’re an astute and intelligent person you shouldn’t hesitate in getting a copy and keep asking yourself how you can benefit yourself by listening to its message.
I haven’t revealed the books name as it’s too common, in fact everywhere. Why is that, is what you should focus on when you get yourself a copy, think about it, even ask someone, maybe someone knocking on your door.
Good night and good bye
