Living With The Opposite sex

Girls and boys are made to live with each other although this statement might be considered as dubious. Authors have already studied this assertation like John Gray in "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus".

I will keep it short this week by saying, that Men and Women if they decide to live together should better know what they want from each other.

Big Money

Is money necessary to achieve self-fulfilment in life? The quest of money has become relevant since the first time a coin was minted, although people have strived to be happy using other ways.  People, while they are setting money aside every day, are missing out on the point of life. Money is meant to be spent.

At this point a single question remains open: What to do with the cash we earn? The average Canadian earns about 40 000$ per year, this amount of money is mostly dedicated to food. What if suddenly this sum was multiplicated by 250? What if after winning the lotto this average person would possess 10 million dollar? What if I am the lucky one?

As far as I am concerned, my first action would throw a huge party to celebrate the event. After this, I would reluctantly have an all bunch of new relatives ringing at my door? Dealing with this situation would be at least tricky. Let us imagine that I go through all this trouble safe and sound. I have still millions to spend. 

Nowadays, we are surrounded by environementalists and alter-mondialists that claim that the only problem to start their miraculous revolutions for the world is money. I don't think I would give them a penny. No, my money would be invested in human rights NGO's such as Amnesty or Oxfam. Beside this I  be very proud to introduce a new style of pubs: bibli-bars. The following concept is the mixture of libraries and pubs. Clients would be able to enjoy their favorite books while tasting a delicious Belgian beer. Soon enough those pubs would spread all over the planet and become considered as regular.

What do a body wants more then to share a friendship around a good book and a good beer in a warm place. As you might have understood, my money would be used to bolster relationships between people.

One Education System

Education has existed for thousands of years, fathers have always wanted to pass on their knowledge to their child. Philosophers living in the Antic Greek had different opinions about knowledge, some were thinking that their duty was to educate their fellow citizens. Others were convinced that good ideas in the wrong hands might have terrible consequences. However, most of them supported that knowledge had to have a price.

This idea hasn't toned down as the years passed away, wisdom is still difficult to purchase if I may say so. Knowledge has been developping with humanity, this long process has been helped by a major invention, the writing. Try it in your class or in any group, when you pass a verbal sentence to each other, chances are that the sense changes completely. That is the reason why the writing has been so important to us. There has been examples in history that people reading books missed out the point of what was meant. Common sense and critisism are of main importance while reading information.

As far as I know, when a personnal opinion is reported it can't be considered as truth. That is why if I had to re-invent what school might be, I would give give critic-courses. Those courses would be destined to warn the students about the world in which they are living. Beside this, I would bolster the acces to knowledge to everyone, beginning with reading and writing. 870 000 people are illiterate in 2008 (13% of the world's population), that is unacceptable. Fighting illiteration is one of the main challenge of the future.
