THE DOW REPORT
"The Majority is Usually Wrong"

At first it may be difficult to accept such a statement as fact. So let us pursue the subject a bit. Let us start by dividing the population of this planet into two groups, the minority and the majority.

<cut>
It would seem that only a minority of the people on this planet have the ability and ambition to study hard, to figure out ways to accumulate wealth, and to raise their standard of living. The majority are apparently unable or unwilling to acquire the knowledge and take the action which would enable them to do the same.

<cut>
Another trouble with the majority is that they have a tendency to believe what they are told, especially if something is repeated frequently. The majority find it is easier to accept the statements of others than to think for themselves.

<cut>
One should try to think and act like the minority, for there is little hope for the success of the majority. There is not enough room at the top for the majority.

The words above are not mine.
