Cowards hiding behind their keyboards
October 26th, 2018 by Bob Bly
So, you may find this kind of interesting and maybe a little
bizarre or even unpleasant.
Weeks ago, I sent an email to my readers with the subject line,
“What kind of copywriting clients pay best?”
Immediately, subscriber LJ replied to me:
“I’m guessing not yours, or you wouldn’t be begging for attention
all your life.”
Puzzled by LJ’s unprovoked vitriol, I responded:
“What compels you to insult me, LJ?
“Have I ever been rude to you?
“As for the state of my business, I’m not exactly starving to
death; I earn six-figures annually and have a 7-figure net worth.
“And of course, in cowardly fashion, you do your insulting while
hiding behind a keyboard — no guts to say it to my face.”
There are two lessons to be learned here.
The first is, as I told LJ, if you insult someone hiding behind a
keyboard, you are in fact a spineless coward — even though you
may delude yourself to the contrary.
The second is a reminder that this formula, developed by my
friend Dr. Rob Gilbert, is so true:
SWL + SWL = SW
It is short for:
“Some will like you, your product, or your work.
“Some won’t like you, your product, or your work.
“So what?”
As long as you have enough clients, customers, fans, tribe
members, or whatever to earn a decent living, you should ignore
immature haters like LJ.
My problem in doing so is that my personality is such that I do
not suffer fools gladly.
The only reason I tell you the LJ story here is that I think
there is some value in the lesson it presents.
So maybe I should thank her.

Coward people don’t do anything perfectly because they are afraid what others say if they do they plan for Murree winter tour packages from Karachi job wrongly they just think about society instead of believing in themselves. If You like to stand in front of other and compete them with your skills so believe in your power and self-esteem.

It seems to me that this phenomenon is connected with the wide development of social networks and the Internet in General. The Internet is a place where there is no visible responsibility. This is not a society where you did something and immediately get a tangible “feedback”. I’ve been thinking about how I can convert your document to PDF
