Great article and very true: http://www.fourhourworkweek.com/blo...am-practical-tactics-for-dealing-with-haters/

Chris Kenner posted this link via Twitter. It's a good lesson in pretty much everything you do, however, #4 is particularly interesting. In the magic world, in the 80's and most of the 90's it was David Copperfield that fit that section. Anyone know who fits #4 in the magic world today? Anyone? Who needs a clue, raise your hand?

Oh and for those with an adverse reaction to this realization....check out #6.

I don´t know about David Copperfield (have only read or heard good things about him), but Uri Geller fits #4, and he is nevertheless very successful in what he does.
I don´t agree with everything. It´s a bit too generalized for my taste. In reality it´s much more complex and situation-related.
And in magic, I would say that #4 doesn´t apply to the majority of the best magicians in the world.

You should take the time to scan through more of Tim Ferriss's blog, Will. Love him or hate him, the man has some very interesting things to say.
