I’ve read Tim’s post about his first contact to you and also your 12 steps to marketing the book. I’ve from there come across your blog and now seen your page. You’re 25 years old? Wow, that was news.

My life seems less appropriate in some way for marketing one-self or a product and also for implementing the 4HWW-ideals, or at least that’s what I thought in the beginning.

I am a med student, so my schedule is clear, I have exams that I can pass if I study hard and I have my job in the hospital for the next 40 years or so, and it’s pretty obvious that there is my future place. In contrast to what is proclaimed by the idea of the new rich, I actually am and will be a person offering full-time service for the rest of my life – which makes me happy, it is my way!

But, exactly like you, Charlie, I am 25 years old and have so many ideas, dreams and also visions for now and the future. This is why in the last 2 years I’ve changed my life and made it radically mine! I’ve started and completed projects, I’ve eliminated (IMPORTANT!!!) and I’ve opened myself to a lot of great people, books and countries… I read your approach to Tim and think that is exactly what you’ve been doing too, you seem a very open-minded guy knowing what you want.

I seldomly read about people our age, it’s mostly mid-thirties or beyond doing their stuff. Let’s be the future, a little bit at least.

Big up and keep going, I’m impressed by your good work and I wish you all the best,

Nikolaus

Yes, there are other countries that eat dogs. Isn’t cultural relativism amazing?

Seriously, there’s no polite way for me to respond to the above. I read your comment at least 25 times, trying to detect sarcasm. Alas, you’re clearly being serious.

It’s preposterous to think a joke in a 600-page book would cause impressionable readers to cook their dogs. End of discussion.
