WARNING WARRIORS: Don't build on other people's rubbish heap!

Take this piece of advice for what it's worth.

I've seen this in the forum many times. A Warrior falls from
grace and many people use this occasion to say that
they are 'better'--always honest with their clients, give
back refunds on time, take care of their customers etc,.

Sometimes a Warrior needs to be called out, but it's not
a good idea to set yourself as the example to follow instead.

From a psychological standpoint, if I just hate gamblers, it's
99% likely that I have a gambling problem. Human nature.

As parents we hate the child who is most like us! It can
be uncomfortable looking in the mirror sometimes.

Frank Bettger, in his classic book, How I Raised Myself From
Failure To Success in Selling wrote how he often won huge
contracts while selling insurance by speaking well of his
competition.

If I were to respond to a post about another business owner
in my own field you should be very suspicious of my motives.

Am I jealous of that other person? Do I want to pull them
down so I could do better?

All I'm saying is that we should be a little more humble in
our assessment of our fellow warriors because we are all
flawed and tainted.

I wish I were a better human being. I'm not all there yet
but I want to be more patient with people who are not
as far up on the ladder as I have painfully climbed.
