Whether they are Young or Older,
People sometimes have some Problems

A Trubble shared should be a Trubble halved, And not be a Trubble Doubled!

ALL people have Problems
SOME of the time
SOME people have Problems
ALL of the time

Everything goes into my Magic Hat
Where it will be SAFE

Set the Scene right and I am likely to BELIEVE Anything

No-One can Blame YOU for
getting SET-UP

We can ALL Learn!

Watch THE REAL HUSTLE on TV!

BELIEFS & MYTHS We Live By

Suppose I think that's a Dinosaur flying by, says Doc, then I'll probably BEHAVE as if there IS one

Can I persuade YOU there's one?

Can someone convince ME there is?

Set the Scene right and I'm likely to BELIEVE Anything

Maybe I read stories when little, and Dinos were Good
Maybe someone said they were Scarey

It might seem Prudent to Believe something is Good
Or equally Prudent to Believe some things are Bad

We probably Forget where most of it began -
But we ACT as if they are True or Real

I might just Change my Mind about some of it
Someone might talk things over to Change my Mind
So Far So Good - That's Common Sense

WHAT IF one Person or a Group can make Money out of changing my Beliefs or changing my Behaviour? (actually Either can work for Both)

SUPPOSE they studied Group Pressures, Social situations, HOW to change a Belief

They could be £££'s-in or SIMPLY get some Power

When I say SIMPLY I mean it is quite SIMPLE to do

There will always be Leader Types

And People more likely to Follow a Lead

What I refer to is something ELSE, call it Psycho-Social
Influence, Factors or What-Have-You

It's important to REALLY
THINK for YOURSELF!

You can Make Your Own Theories
You Don't Have to accept Other People's
