Hi,

In other words, success is either effortless or extremely difficult.

Effortless: Suzy Supermodel is (first instance of amazing luck) born looking like Suzy Supermodel and is (second instance of amazing luck) walking down the street when she happens to meet someone who gets her started in the modelling business. After making millions Suzy writes a book telling how she succeeded and *you can, too!* (yeah, right). Celine Dion is (first instance of amazing luck) born beautiful and with a one in ten million voice (though her IQ is nothing to boast about) and then (second instance of amazing luck) meets someone (her future husband) who moves mountains to help her succeed. Jodie Foster had about six instances of amazing luck.

If I'm smart, this will be the last message I post on the marketing boards.

Cynically yours,

-Boyd
