I believe in order to live a well-fulfilled life we must achieve our goals and take risks. We must try new things and do things to please yourself and not others. We must take pride in our work and have work-ethic, we must educate ourselves to the best of our abilities. We must laugh and cry. We must experience everything and anything so that we know what it feels like. We must love our work and wake up in the morning willingly. We must be kind and have loving relationships. Living well isn't defined by how much money we make or how much better you are then the next person. It's defined by the way you savor every moment you have, by realizing that life is a gift. Living well can also be defined as: live like there is no tomorrow, meaning take risks, experience life to the fullest. “Men for the sake of getting a living forget to live.” - Margaret Fuller
“To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.” - Oscar Wilde
Living well can tend to confuse people because there are several perspectives to living well.
Some believe money is the key to a well lived life. While others know money isn't everything yet they chase success anyways. Others, less fortunate, financially, can be more wealthy than those with more money in terms of happiness. There are many ways to measure a person's wealth. One of the more common ways can be money but, we can also compare happiness.
How do we determine a life well-lived, must we be selfish to live a life well-lived?

amero
The other day I read an article featuring the new conspired currency amero. Some conspirators believe it will be in affect by februrary of next year. This new curreny is a mock of the european currency , the euro. We will have to get rid of our current currency, and Mexico and, Canada would have to do the same. I really don't think this will work, because Mexico and Canada probably won't get rid of their current currencys especially in such a drastically short period of time. The whole idea is samrt, I mean it is seeming to work for Europe, it's just preposterous. Who knows?anything is possible. As to Josh's nothing blog, it was quiote fascinating, and of course as always I have stated a infaalliable arguement. Nothing is something with out anything.
Wouldn't you concur?That's all for now folks, until next time.

distillation
Recently I read an article on distillation the process of separating mixtures based on their different substances. One of the most common forms of distillation, that deeply interferes with our current status, is the separation of salt from water. To remove the salt from the water, it is repeatedly evaporated and condensed until the result is pure clean water. The main reason it affects us is because of the lack of water here in California, so scientists are looking in to some ways to solve the problem. One way is distillation, the only problem is some argue that taking large amounts of seawater will destroy the ecosystem in the surrounding ocean. The question we must face though is who is more important the ecosystem under the sea or our survival. Although of course there are other options, this one would help substantially but maybe with a few costs.

quick read
James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl is a classic book that reminds me of my childhood. I recently reread it ,it was a very sweet and simple, with witty characters and exciting adventures. I particularly enjoyed the silly songs sung by the centipede and grassphoper. Even though this book won't teach you any complex new words nor discuss the importance of global warming but, it will surely give you a good laugh. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves children's book and wants to be entertain for miles of fun.
