Secondly, I look for all the members of my family (husband, 3 daughters and 1 son) to check that they are all well, and then I look at what is required to be done for the day. I usually look at what my target is and remind myself of my mission and objective. THAT GIVES ME THE ENERGY
A comment on Conversation: A People's Fund To Share all Profits from Natural Resource Extraction on a Per Capita Basis (like the Alaska Permanent Fund)
A number of other mineral resources explored recently have had payout to the landowners and to the government. The income obtained is really not distributed per capita but to the landowners to look after developments like education, health, etc.
I think that the interim government has found out how the previous investors have done to the earlier investments that were approved by previous governments, where the cream is harvested and the country is left with close to nothing, eg. the tourism industry investors.

I still feel that not enough is given to the landowners - the working out or calculations do not take care of the future generation who will have to live without being able to use their land to plant their taro, vegetables, fish from their shores etc.
