Steve is smart in that he doesn't learn foreign languages, unlike Brian Tracy; he knows from learning computer languages that it is useless because it will be gone when you die.

Ouch. Rosegold, you fail to see the long term effects for all aspects. Yes I technically lose them when I die. However, I'm still here and the more languages I know means I can reach out to more people = more personal development for all.
I really don't care if I don't remember a language when I die. But who knows, there are people who say they've had past lives and can somehow speak another language as if they were from that culture. I'm not counting on it or a next life, but already having a grasp on a few languages would be nice if it occurred.
