Q: What is something that needs to be changed in the world, but money wont help?

A: It would be nice if all governments were as rational as the Nordic governments – reaching compromise and providing services broadly. The Economist had a nice special section on this last week. Africa governments have often been weak but you can’t write a check to change that. Fortunately the average quality is going up. Mo Ibrahim tracks this in a great way.

From bank fees to interest rates to miracle diets, people who are not educated are easier to get money from and easier to lead. Educate yourself as much as possible for wealth, independence, and happiness.

Borrowed from: 20 Things I Should Have Known at 20

An old Cherokee told his grandson, “My son, there is a battle between two wolves inside us all. One is anger, jealously, greed, resentment, inferiority, lies and ego. The other is good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, humility, kindness, empathy and truth.”

The boy thought about it and asked, “Grandfather, which wolf wins?”

The old man quietly replied, “The one you feed.”

Half the worry in the world is caused by people trying to make decisions before they have sufficient knowledge on which to base a decision.
