the world is spiraling quickly to an even wider and more apparent gap in wealth .those who get the money now are going to set themselves and their families up for a better life in the next 100 years. those who stay poor, like me and almost everyone i know, will find it difficult to switch classes in the future. pick your side. |

I think, with Obama and the progressives, you've seen a massive expansion of big government, and it's all based on a moral premise. The moral premise is that wealth is theft. And I don't just mean the wealth of America, I mean, your wealth, my wealth. |

If the Union is once severed, the line of separation will grow wider and wider, and the controversies which are now debated and settled in the halls of legislation will then be tried in fields of battle and determined by the sword. |
| Jean-Paul Sartre |
There are two types of poor people, those who are poor together and those who are poor alone. The first are the true poor, the others are rich people out of luck. |

Some say that now that 50 years have passed, we would like another 50 more years to celebrate once again; that means it will be 100 years. After one hundred years, I will be 118 years old. |

All personality traits have their good side and their bad side. But for a long time, we've seen introversion only through its negative side and extroversion mostly through its positive side. |

The fabric of North Carolina and what makes our state so special is our families and our common desire for a brighter future for our children. No matter what your family looks like, we all want the same thing for our families - happiness, health, prosperity, a bright future for our children and grandchildren. |

Even though I spent the first five years of my life in Nagasaki, going to Japan can be really difficult. Even if they know I've been brought up in the West, they still expect me to understand all the subtleties of their culture, and if I get it wrong, it matters much more than if a British person gets it wrong. I find it intimidating. |

I am running for president to help create a better future. A future where everyone who wants a job can find one. Where no senior fears for the security of their retirement. An America where every parent knows that their child will get an education that leads them to a good job and a bright horizon. |

I fell into playwriting accidentally, took some classes in it, and also took creative writing classes, but I really didn't expect it to be a career because I didn't believe there was a way to make money as a playwright without being lucky and I didn't feel particularly lucky. |

I'm the youngest of five kids, and I wanted attention. And in Santa Barbara, there was lots of theater going on, so for that area, it was a little bit like playing Little League baseball. There were dance classes, theater classes, and I just loved it. |

I had a dream I had to pick a bunch of sequins off the floor. Most of them were purple, but there were other colors, too. It was for a guy in a very poor country. All these sequins were falling somewhere, but they were his money and I had to collect them for him. I couldn't do it fast enough and someone else was snatching up some of them and stealing them for himself.

One of my old teachers had a very interesting saying that he would employ as an answer to questions - "There are very few things in life you have to do".
While we may not "need" money on a fundamental level, it is the dominant mode of exchange and power transfer in our social, political, and economic lives. Until another convention or set of conventions replaces money, it is essential to integrating ourselves into the whole and providing for the needs and desires of ourselves and families.
What we need is food, shelter, clothing, etc. How we get it is not and cannot be as naturally availa...

Make your interests gradually wider and more impersonal, until bit by bit the walls of the ego recede, and your life becomes increasingly merged in the universal life. An individual human existence should be like a river — small at first, narrowly contained within its banks, and rushing passionately past rocks and over waterfalls. Gradually the river grows wider, the banks recede, the waters flow more quietly, and in the end, without any visible break, they become merged in the sea, and painlessly lose their individual being.

Another psychological approach to understanding people?s involvement with money was offered in
a financial magazine. This article (Sullivan, 1994) presented a classification of money personalities based
on a survey of 2,000 people?s ?inner financial life.? It divided people into seven personality
classifications as follows: 1) Hunters, who are characterized by an aggressive attitude toward the making
spending and investing of money and who tend to have unsettled personal lives and a higher than average

My resignation letter I haven't sent yet: llo Ryan,
I regret to inform you my leaving of the company. I am mentally drained to the point where I no longer feel productive here. I have arrived at the conclusion that I cannot work on computers this much in a routine schedule.
I would love to work something out in the future, I think we have done great work together, however I can no longer continue this job. Sitting for 8 hours, 5 days a week, is something I just cannot do, regardless of location.

Over the past few years, a new paradigm for thinking about humankind's future has begun to take shape among some leading computer scientists, neuroscientists, nanotechnologists and researchers at the forefront of technological development. The new paradigm rejects a crucial assumption that is implicit in both traditional futurology and practically all of today's political thinking. This is the assumption that the "human condition" is at root a constant. Present-day processes can be fine-tuned; wealth can be increased and redistributed; tools can be developed and refined; culture can change, sometimes drastically; but human nature itself is not up for grabs.
This assumption no longer holds true. Arguably it has never been true. Such innovations as speech, written language, printing, engin...

Most people who don't want to do the PhD realize that they can leave and make a lot of money early on. The people who really want to do research and stay usually value money less.

From a post in 2015 from me: (Nine- Make or Take)
through everything going on in our lives, hip hop has always been there to provide hope, even where there may not be any. I have a very deep love for the art and the craft, and the act of creating it has helped me and many of my close friends find our way in this life and stay way from worse predicaments when we are truly focused on our work. if we relate this to a grander scale, it provides us access to higher levels of our selves and consciousness, specifically the 5th density or the creation density. , where we are wholly the architects for our lives and those around us- providing a blueprint for others that are on the same path to understanding in hopes that we can give them something to learn from and use in their lives to build towa...

Without a means of communicating (not necessarily internet) I think people in different regions would develop significantly differently. I can go to the other side of the world and find people that have seen the same news as me, are aware of the same advances in science and technology, and have some awareness of their culture. It'd be like having a bunch of little worlds on the same planet.

That's interesting. In certain environments I find it very easy to adapt my personality accordingly. The arrogant will inherit the meek. Although, in seriousness, arrogance begets results, and I don't like to be sincerely mean, but I find it to be highly effective in quickly solving some interpersonal problems in certain arenas.
