You know, some jobs just stink, and no matter how hard you

try, there's just very little to no redeeming value in them.



For example -- the guy who splits the peas that go into

split-pea soup.



That can't be too much fun, now can it?



Or how about the guy who collects the tolls on the highways,

bridges and tunnels.



That job sucks!



Believe me, I used to do that while I was going to college.



And you know what's different between the first car you give

45 cents change to, at 11 pm... and the last car you give 45

cents change to, the following morning at 7 am?



Absolutely... NOTHING!



Anyway, there's a man named Donald Lau, who's vice-president

of Wonton Food, Inc., in Long Island City, New York.

(that's just outisde of Manhattan)



Donald is the guy who's responsible for writing up all the

fortunes that get wrapped up inside the fortune cookies at

your local Chinese restaurant.



In fact, Donald's company cranks out 4 million fortune

cookies a DAY, so Donald just might be the most prolific


writer in history.



Whatever.



Donald never expected to be a fortune-cookie writer, of

course, things just happened that way, as they sort of

do for most people.



Needless to say, now-and-again, Donald suffers from "writers

block" (No doubt, the thrill is probably 100% gone for

Donald.), and so he's constantly looking around his

environment to pick up little gems he can put on the

fortunes that go inside the cookies his company

manufactures.



Like when he rides the subway to work, for example: "Beware

of odors coming from strange places."



My favorite fortune-cookie fortune of all time, is... "He

who eats jellybeans, farts in technicolor."



I wonder if Donald wrote that one -- maybe you've cracked

open a fortune-cookie or two and found that one too?



Anyhow, Donald recently came up with 2 gems I wanted to pass on to

you, about writing, because they are very very relevant to

writing your sales copy.



And here they are:



One, "Don't have too complicated a mind."




The simple truth is, the easier you can say it, the easier

your prospect can understand it.



And two, "Think in ten word sentences."



You should never go on and on in your writing, just like you

should never go on and on when you're talking to someone.



Ancient Chinese wisdom from Donald, sure makes good sense to

me, no?



Now go sell something,
