That said, I wish people, even on an online forum, gave some physical, mental, social, economic, and philosophical description of themselves. I will do this personally whenever I post any kind of advice from now on, so people know exactly how to judge the merits of my advice.
People in an online forum have a history and if you wanted you could gather enough information about most users with more than 100 posts by reading their former posts to judge them.

If the advice is not original, I will state the source.
Specific advice seldomly comes from a specific person. These days we read so much, that most of our thought (at least my own) comes from something you read.

Most people who know something about personal development judge "Think and Grow Rich" as one of the main classics of the field. A lot of successful people have read it.
Neverless Napoleon Hill was broke some time around ~1930 (which was after he wrote the book). That doesn't make his book made theory.

In the end the success that you have in live doesn't depend merly on the theory or advice that you follow but on your own actions.

Talking about this in terms of “bad news” or “bad judgment by business leaders” seems archaic. It’s like describing World War One as “a serious diplomatic concern.”
