This item has some links to the criticisms, in case somebody wants to see them. Dunford ironizes, "And what's this nonsense about working hard early in the morning, and about his mother taking responsibility for making sure he was well-educated even if the local schools couldn't do the job. What kind of message is that to send kids?" I think it's a pretty important message. There are no short cuts. There are no magic wands. The only way anything - including this newsletter - gets done is through hard work. (That doesn't mean you'll get rewarded, and that doesn't mean that all - or even most - rewards are appropriated fairly. They're not. But if you want to accomplish anything, even if you're rich, you have to put in the hard work.)
