Is there a Guru in the house?
Is there a Guru in the house?
By Joe Myna
The Internet has given us many marvelous advantages in
international marketing, from the speed and convenience of email
to the ease and economy of product downloading.
Yet these wonders pale by comparison when you realize the sheer
volume of Gurus that inhabit the Web.
As a young boy growing up in Ohio I was impressed by the rarity
of those mystics who with one utterance, could place in a
nutshell all worldly knowledge.
On the other hand, there had always existed plenty of "experts."
In olden days folks were forced to rely on the now outdated,
'expert' for knowledge and virtuosity.
When it comes to Internet marketing there are no experts, only
Gurus.
You remember what an 'expert' is, don't you!
Well, as a distinguished Chinese gentleman named Charlie Chan,
once said, "An expert is a person who provides quick answers
that are sometimes correct."
While, as Charlie says, an 'expert' may only from time to time,
correctly assume a fact, a Guru never ever suffers from this
fallacy.
A Guru just knows all!
You see, the only quality the 'expert' lacks is perfection,
otherwise he would be a Guru!
There is one other distinguishing characteristic you'll notice
when sorting out a Guru from an 'expert'. An 'expert' is either,
self designated or quickly proclaims the title, while a Guru
leaves that function to his associates.
As a lad I was just naive enough to believe that the world only
offered us one or two true Gurus.
Naturally, I had heard of the mysterious Dalai Lama with his
universal wisdom, and maybe about a couple of odd characters
hanging out in Tibet, but that was it.
I truly believed that these few individuals summed up the entire
Guru population. Then I discovered the Internet.
What a revelation!
When it comes to Internet marketing, the supply of Gurus gives
the impression of being endless.
Every day I read of several new Gurus who have recently startled
the Internet community by unearthing the 'real' secrets of
marketing success.
Thankfully, these Gurus are graciously releasing their deep dark
secrets of Internet prowess, even though it may be for a limited
time only, and at a compensation said to be ridiculously low for
a Guru of their obvious stature.
The Internet is amazing, even Gurus mark down their wisdom!
For awhile, I feared that once these 'secrets' were released our
favorite Guru would quickly pack up and take their meditation
elsewhere.
But not to worry, as new hidden secrets of Internet marketing
are needed, more and more Gurus appear to permeate the Web thus
eliminating any major concern of a shortage.
I often ponder, can this abundance of Gurus last, is there a
University somewhere that grinds them out, a sort of Guru U!
Perhaps, we ought to just count blessings and gleam as much as
we can from these modern day wonders of the cosmos.
After all, shouldn't we be content that there are helpful Gurus
everywhere on the Internet, with or without a toga.
They seem to be everywhere these days. In fact, while shaving
this morning, I could swear I spotted a Guru in my own bathroom
mirror!
