For extra credit:

There was an article online today about a woman who wrote a book about her perfect memory, and what a blessing and a curse it is to never forget anything. If you had such a memory, how would you promote it, or sell your skill/talent as a service, for example would you promote it as an entertainment service for parties and conventions? For what sort of businesses? For neurologists to study and reproduce the gene or chemicals in the brain making her remember? Who would benefit most from such a product/service. Use your creativity and imagination, as most great new product and service ideas come from thinking "outside the envelope" or "outside the box" ...which means, "outside the ordinary".

LESSON FOR TODAY:

We need to work on respecting each other. Each one of us is special in his/her own uniqueness. Life is valuable and to be treasured. When I was thought to possibly have the infection spreading into my bone and blood, and the doctors and nurses were running around to give me tests in the emergency room, and I was scared I was going to lose a leg or die because I can't take the antibiotics necessary, I cried and I thought about how valuable, how much of a treasure life is. We are each only on this planet for one time in our current situations, and we must make the most of the time we have. Try to live your life with honesty, courage, kindness, and with ambition and decency towards your fellow travelers in this one time adventure. You have only one time to do it. Start now. That is my lesson for the day, or my words of advice. You are YOUNG. Youth is a great advantage. You can do anything with your lives. Believe in yourself. Start now.
