I’ve studied Napolean Hill a lot. He’s a great guy from 100 years ago. I’m not sure if a lot of people still know about him, but he’s done many great things and wrote many great books. One of which, Think and Grow Rich, is my favorite.

I’m reading this book The POWER of Body Language and in it there is a little excerpt on why we humans might like porn so much. I think the book tells it best, so here it is:

When a person watches other people having sex, even on a television (or computer) screen, a part of his brain actually feels like he’s getting some action, too. (And who can blame a guy for liking that?)
Well, that explains it, don’t you think?
Should you want to check out the book, you can own it today by going to amazon and investing in it. I’m a nice guy, so I’m going to provide you a link: The POWER of Body Language.
To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.

Do not give dogs what is holy; and do not throw your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under foot and turn to attack you.

Space we can recover, time never.

A man said to Dervish: “Why do I not see you more often?” The Dervish replied, “Because the words ‘Why have you not been to see me?’ are sweeter to my ears than the words ‘Why have you come again?’”
