  A comment on Conversation: What is the efficient use of routine 24 hours in terms core responsibilities for effective living?

  May 31 2011: I would say exercising, studying something intriguing, and not going to prison or jail. Say hello to as many people as you can and go to concerts and events where large numbers of people are attending. Meditate focusing on controlling lust, anger, greed, and temptation.

  A comment on Conversation: What motivates you?

  May 31 2011: I imagine one hundred years from now and how I wont be here, and then I think about how Im still here with time to live. What will I say I have done? What will my future family members say I did?, and how will they remember me? These thoughts light my fire!!!!! Awesome post, I think about this all the time.

• A comment on Conversation: You cannot simultaneously prepare for war and plan for peace - Einstein

  May 31 2011: As long as there are those who benefit from war, there will always be war, this world is so sad, I feel like Im in a bad movie, where all the dirty politicians do not get what they deserve, and the hardworking people are the ones that will have to pay. I totally agree with the statement. Its either peace or war.

• A comment on Conversation: is it wrong to be interested in money

  May 31 2011: Money keep a roof over our heads, and food in our fridges. Pays for medicine, funerals, and education. During my two years of involuntary unemployment, I had to learn how to not rely on money, and find more important things. I came to the conclusion that though money is important, it is not the most important. Its finding our purpose that is the most important, but to answer your question, it is totally fine to be interested in money, just as long you don't obtain it through ways that will cause you to feel shame, and if you acquire money by screwing over people. Other than that, get your money.

• A comment on Conversation: What will you do with your aging parents?

  May 31 2011: Spend as much time as you can with your parents, and if needed in the future hire some help. I watched my mom and aunt take care of their mother refusing to put her in a nursing home. It tore them to shreds. I think if I were getting older and suffering and falling behind, I would want my children to hire some help, so all they have to do is be there for me emotionally. I do not want my children to have to carry me everywhere I go.

• A comment on Conversation: Risks are important. But how do you decide which ones are worth taking and when to be more calculative.

  May 31 2011: If it involves fun I take the risk, if its involves money, I pass

• A comment on Conversation: Wealth and power have been our conventional measures of success. What definition will better sustain us now and how can we move into it?

  May 31 2011: You see, we all have the same general meaning for success, so tell your Mom to get it together because time is moving fast, and before we know it another one hundred years will have passed.
