Humans are supposedly the most intelligent creatures, but we often have expectations that completely defy logic.  Many have fallen prey to the email scam in which someone in Nigeria needs assistance in getting millions of dollars out of the country and that someone promises you hundreds of thousands for your trouble.  Many have gone to the extent of borrowing money to travel to Africa in hopes of becoming rich.  They end up embarrassed, broke and depressed, simply because their judgment became impaired due to promises of large amounts of money.  Is there such a thing as 'easy money?'  Let's be realistic. 

 

There are face creams in the market that promise to make you look ten years younger.  Ten years younger?  To look ten years younger, you have to be ten years younger or have plastic surgery.  Yet, scores of women believe the false advertising, consequently giving rise to more and more such creams on the market.

 

Have you heard about the cigarette, smoking which you will become more attractive?  Look at the chain smoker with lung cancer and see how attractive he looks.  You have no doubt heard about the artificial tan that will make you irresistible to others.  Ask those who have a natural tan how irresistible they are to others.

 

Let's not forget the magic pill and the wondrous berry that will help you shed pounds as you sleep.  Wow!  Whatever happened to exercise and healthy eating habits?  No.  Many swear by pills, potions, diets and magic formulas.

 

Be realistic.
