The business acumen of your average desi is unquestionable, but there are only a chosen few of them who have seen the real path to enlightenment. And these desis will leave no stone unturned in their efforts to emancipate you from a life of ignorance and ostensible poverty.
That path is Amway and its many other smarter- than- thou variants which will literally make you sell magic cool-aid on your way to making astronomical fortunes and enabling you to win the next marathon you compete in (just a friendly side effect).
The products are so potent that their effects instill an overwhelming amount of self-belief into an otherwise “god- fearing, regular, middle-class” desi. Almost overflowing with this unshakeable confidence, these desis courageously masquerade around in shopping malls, restaurants, parking lots and airports alike in a determined effort to accost people who are perfect strangers to them, but look like wrethched souls who would want to make an extra buck or two in their lives. Sure! Who doesn’t? All you need, is “an open mind” 
The enlightened ones are curious about your interests and hobbies, your planned retirement age and your phone number, amongst other things. They might have also seen you in college or their wives might need ” your help” on a flight. And they are only too eager to share their details with you since they’ve been chatting with you for an entire minute now!
Opportunity knocks your door several bazzillion times until the door finally caves in or of course you agree to attend an elightenment session with their established guru, who will draw elaborate diagrams and make grand presentations on how you can achieve ultimate financial freedom in your lives. Why work so hard, when all you have to do is sell stuff to people who will in turn be elevated to the oh-so-sought-after “early retirement” status ?
The fairy tale lives of these fortunate desis are full of happiness and success derived from selling products for the betterment of humanity. Hang out at the Macy’s nearest to you this weekend and you could be a chosen one too, all you have to then do is…BELIEVE. No wait, sell actually 
Amway is a poor business opportunity. The people who recruit others simply see dollar signs. They want to sign you up and quickly “plug you into the system”. The system is a neverending series of seminars, cd’s, and other materials that upline will sell you at a cost. These crafty upline make more money from selling the system than from Amway. A friend of mine got sucked into the network 21 system and he ended up losing thousands of dollars before he wised up and quit.
Amway is a lot of work in my opinion, my parents were into that and although successful could have spent their efforts more productively. With the advent of the internet there are better ways to make money. I personally have had great success lately with _http://desi-fortunes.ws/tissa.htm_ I personally find it to be a fantastic program that rewards your effort exponentially.
Quixtar, Amway, Brit-world or whatever…..all desis in these poor business SUCKS and are greedy deceitful manipulative IDIOTS.
