[nabentre] what is hope

Wed Jun 29 14:15:58 UTC 2011

It still sounds to me like you have a hope.  You hope and more than likely 
believe that people will want your product or service.  Otherwise you would 
not even try.  Hope precedes and is part of faith.  And the truest book ever 
written says that faith comes by hearing.  Somewhere, some how, you heard 
and believe.  You believe in something besides yourself.  I am happy for 
you.

Some need this type of system referred to here, to show them how to unlock 
whatever you have already found.  However, as I read this, the author is not 
even talking about a sold system.  I would invite all to reread the piece 
and not be distracted by those who are wanting all to join negative thinking 
and want others to fail as they have.
