This one just will NOT STOP. The Desk got it three times in two days in its day job mailbox and it deleted one in its YAHOO! account. All from well meaning friends.
OK, yes, most of the points are good advice. If you do them, yeah, your lot in life might improve. ... ... ... but... does it have to threaten me with random nastiness if I don't SPAM my family and friends with it?
Oh Please.
One- This glurge has NOTHING to do with the Anthony Robbins outfit. Although there is nothing on any of his websites to disown the email, there is nothing claiming it either. The fact that is ISN'T from the self improvement guru is further supported by the following.
Two- This list, now slightly altered, first appeared at least five years ago as a Good Luck Tantra, first Indian and then Chinese. Of which it is actually NEITHER!
File this one under those chain letters that demand you forward SPAM or your toenails will rot off.

Or drop the title in a search engine and pick a link.
But Please Please Please…. Stop forwarding it.
