Human tendency to get money from the shortest path-Email Hoaxes

I think this is a human tendency to earn money by the shortest possible path. I remember my childhood days when I used to bet for 5 10 bucks with a dumb guy who almost lost every time when he had a bet with me. Later on with the emerge of Information technology and quick access to internet this thing took a global shape. Now you can find plenty of site which are claiming probably from the time of their inception for their visitor to be 999999th(or something like that). I also got fooled with this trick when I was in 10th standard but I feel really sad when a grown up person from a reputed institute or professionals from a reputed company do so. Almost after every few days probably each one of us, who are in a field which requires a lot of email sending and receiving, get email claiming to be from Bill Gates or to receive some lucky lottery or deletion of orkut account or something like that.

So friends this is a complete hoax. Don't waste your precious time forwarding these junks to your peers and friends. You are killing a lot of man hours. Let these man hours be spent on increasing the revenue of their respective company so that they can grow personally or personally. The impact on one person may be for few minutes but if you look for a big picture it is disastrous.

Even if you feel little puzzled there are plenty of sites available at net to show you the clear picture. One site which I know of is www.hoax-slayer.com. You can search as easily as we do google and get to know the truth.

Trust your own capabilities not luck. Losers depend on luck.
