One of the wisest things I've done in my life is trying to learn English. I'm not fluent, but I can, with some difficulty, understand. And man, a world opened up to me! So many lectures, videos, classes, documentaries etc that I would not have access otherwise, because not everything has subtitles. This lesson is an example.

[@gjallarnews140]

Truuee! If you have an internet connection and know basic english, the world's knowledge is available to you. I think, if information is free, wouldn't it multiply naturally? If every scientific paper and lecture would be required to be freely available online, wouldn't we see another golden age for scientific discoveries?

[@jefferskine8498]

Your English writing is excellent and your effort is a great example for those of us who might want to learn another language. Nice work, Paolo.

[@levelsg]

Well done bro!! The world is your oyster!

[@rique5434]

congratz brother, learning english seems to give allot of ppl trouble lol, glad you stuck with it. The good thing about not using subtitles, is that the context of what they are saying is not always accurately translated when put into subtitles or can't be translated correctly because their is no literal translation

[@Raymanujan]

Congratulations on that decision. You're on the right track.

(what are your values? measure my way of giving away money) * Frank Batton (Landmark Communications): "Profit is constraint, not my goal. If I don't make enough money, I will be out of business. But it I make too much, that means I am not reinvesting enough into my people, community, and product." * Inflection point: Is this freeing me in making a change in my direction? * Culture matters: I might have failed in the wrong culture. * Do not try to change the past, learn from it, and move forward. * Get specific advice from specific people. * ripples > splash * Nothing is wrong with money, but the riches of your life won't be measure by it.

The world would not look at him as a success but when I walked away from the body, I realized he was a great success.

when you really have built a life where you're successful, you don't need to throw anybody under the bus, you don't need any external measurement, its being at the top of a mountain you've been climbing that doesn't exist for anybody else, but seeing that everybody else has their own mountains too

This is my first time seeing this gentleman, not sure why he showed up in my suggestion but glad he did. To me one of the saddest thing in the world is measuring your success by other people and trying to keep up or even out do them even though it's NOT what you actually want. I compete with myself and only me, so when my friends achieve success I'm genuinely happy for them because their success doesn't diminish mines.

Obey Jesus Christ or you will go to hell, turn to the Lord before its too late, if you don’t REPENT OF YOUR SINS then you will likewise perish in hell. All liars, fornicators, adulterers, idolaters, blasphemers, whoremongers, thieves, murderers, homosexuals, effeminate, etc, will not inherit the kingdom of God.
