  A comment on Conversation: How about a VIRTUAL classroom?

  Jan 27 2013: The perfect classroom? It is the place where we ask new questions and we get new answers; the place where we try a new experiment and we get a new outcome. That place can be anywhere in the world. We can learn new things wherever we are and no matter how much money we have.

  A comment on Conversation: Can donor funding really fix African challenges, or should we empower African communities to address their own challenges?

  Jan 23 2013: Too much money were given to most African countries but unfortunately most African countries are awfully poor.l believe that Africa can survive or even thrive without a dime from the donors.Anyway most of money from donors are misused by the leaders.Africa needs something more powerful than money to help it become the best of the best.

  A comment on Conversation: Does the possession of knowledge carry an ethical responsibility?

  Jan 22 2013: There are various types of knowledges and we need to use them wisely.
  If we possess knoweldge that can bless the human life , we are responsible to share it with others.Some knoweldges should be given freely with everyone whereas others should be monetized.We have been given a brain ,parents and siblings and friends to help us how to manage our knowledges effectively.

  A comment on Conversation: You cannot eat money, or make clothes, or build a house out of it.

  Jan 22 2013: Money is just a tool that can help us get what we want..However, without our mind ,spirit and body, money would not do us any good .It is possible to get what we truly want without spending any money.We just need to use our mind, our self-confidence and our energy wisely and patiently.For example ,if I truly want to learn a new language, there are tons of free resources here on the internet.
  What we are actually looking for in life is never money but pleasure and "anti-pain".If we really really loved money ,we would never spend it.

  A comment on Conversation: Have you realized your potential?

  Jan 12 2013: To become what we want to become, we always need self-confidence.We need to dare to do what we know is right even if nobody is watching us.Unfortunately, very few people have enough self-confidence that last a lifetime.Therefore, if we want to succeed and achieve our goals ,we must work on our self-confidence everyday.There's not much we can do without trusting ourselves and in our capacity to grow.I would not be where I am today if I did not believe in my ability to grow and prosper.
  It is not enough to have self-trust but it can help us do all we need to do to achieve our goals.
  Some of the best ways to increase self-confidence are to read biographies and advice of successful people and to mingle with positive people.That's what I have been doing for more than a decade.
