"Hi Mark!
I really love reading self-help articles, self-help/investment books. I'm indeed thankful to have read your article. It is truly a mind-opener to employees and would-be entrepreneurs.
I've been working for multi-national companies for 7 years already, and I have always ingrained a "diligent" attitude. I feel that without it, I won't be that successful in anything I do. In some way, that's a good habit, however, in the long run it's exhaustive. It's exhaustive accomplishing everything from A-Z, whereinfact there is a much easier process in achieving a certain result.
I've been exercising to work smart. I know this will spell a great difference. I thank you for inspiring us. I do hope I could sttend one of your seminars. I keep on browsing your seminar schedules but I always fail to participate. This time, I need to commit to myself to enroll and to sttend. I know for sure that I will learn a lot. I know it will greatly help me in my employment life. Compensation from employment is not enough especially, now that I have a family and a baby. Moreover, I'm thinking to venture into entrepreneurship soon.
Thank you very much. Belated Happy Birthday to your wife. Hope to meet both of you in person. I am really very much interested to learn.
God bless you!"
