    yes i heard of it too, not sure what to think about karma, kind of baffles my mind.  I tend to think that if you really want something to suceed you make it happen by putting hard work into it, part is chance, being in the right place at the right time, meeting the right people, etc..   if it does work out for those lucky few, they tend to add some mystical meaning to it like it was their destiny to be suceesful or they got there by positive thinking etc when in reality things just happend to fall into place for them naturally..

    I believe in putting in the work and effort too, but i don't think any harm comes from trying to be positive and stay upbeat without loosing sight of what you want in the process

    there really is a lot of good one can take from this, if you shuffle through the karma bit there are a lot of helpful messages

    `But I don't want to go among mad people,' Alice remarked.
     `Oh, you can't help that,' said the Cat: `we're all mad here. I'm mad.  You're mad.'
     `How do you know I'm mad?' said Alice.
     `You must be,' said the Cat, `or you wouldn't have come here.'

    Let me simplify it: If you really want something, go for it. No one will get it for you. People love confidence.

    Wish it want it do it. God helps those who help themselves. Glass half full. Sentences for a universal law that isn't a universal law. Different wording of the same message with bits of nonsense added on.

    Right, now where's my million?

    Well, I still think there isn't anything wrong on focusing on the things you do want as opposed to what you don't want and trying to take the positive out of your situations, I think that is a healthy attitude.

    Like I said there is pieces of good advice in there, if you know how to find and if you want to find it.

    For me it boils down to this: If you believe in nothing else, at least believe in yourself.

    Did I argue those points?

    I believe your foot is cleaner than that sophistry of soap-opera pagan stories of ancient India..  Such nonsensical unquestionable sophistry of soap-operas are the reason why subcontinent reeling and reeled under poverty, women's problems, water problems, religion problems, caste problems and what not..

    Ive heard of that. It basically says
    "Don't work hard, think that you're rich and the next day you'll be rich, because you just got to believe in it!"

    Thats really not what it says Smiley
    The overall message is to focus on what you want and go and get it as opposed to dwelling in the negatives of your life

    Isnt it about the law of attraction?

    Anyway, I see nothing wrong with being optmistic.

    Yes but if you watch/read the whole thing the message is about focusing on the positive, it doesn't anywhere say sit back and do fuck all and youl get what you want. It just says to believe what you want is possible, which to me makes sense.
    Ye I don't agree with the parts about the law of attraction and the thoughts attracting things but I do believe a positive mind shift does make a difference more because you affirming and believing in yourself and giving yourself the power to go out and get what you want.

    Like I said there is some good messages you can derive from this if you willing to look past the parts that are whack.

    I havent read the book word by word but I know what the law of attraction and that book is about, which I think is utter bullshit.
