A while back, I bought a piece of land in Southern Mexico and built a winter holiday
home. Our architect suggested a cupola above the main stairway and proposed a
talented 20 year old builder who had the skills.
Watching him build this single skin of bricks all by hand and with no scaolding or
supports was amazing. Each row of bricks supported the next layer until he nally
closed the dome. He did not use any special tools, diagrams, instructions or plans
other than the simple sketch I gave him. His only tools were a small trowel, bricks and
mortar. All the calculations were done in his head and the progress checked by eye.
Watching him work was inspiring.
https://www.quora.com/topic/List-of-Best-Quora-Content 1/52
The Mexicans learnt this skill from the Spanish who in turn got it from the Moors that
had invaded Spain.
The cupola under construction, this one guy did all the work.
View from the inside, a smooth skin of bricks. It is a work of art!
The nished cupola. Completely built by hand.
I have never met anyone else who has the skills to do this, especially at 20 years old! I
remember thinking, I could take all the engineers and phd graduates I have met in my
long career and be lucky to nd one that could single handedly, design and build this
perfectly correct, self supporting, layered dome and not have it collapse.
Can you not deduce an intelligent person by looking at the result of their work?
Passing tests and getting a certicate without ever doing anything useful with it has
limited value in my book.
Later the same young guy built our pool that has a complex design. I was so
impressed, I use it for my lock screen.
I wish more trades like this were still taught today; it's a dying art.

When I was in high school our physics teacher gave us a challenge that involved
making a paper air plane of any shape. The only objective was to get it to y as far as
possible. I had some paper air plane making skills so I made the best plane I could
and it ew pretty far.
One guy made the greatest, yet simplest paper airplane of all time. He stood there at
the starting line with a regular piece of paper. Some classmates scratched their head
while silently chuckling to themselves. Moments later he took the at piece of paper,
crumpled it up, and threw it down the hall way.
He beat the class with ease.
Some of the students got mad and said that he cheated.
The physics teacher said, "How so? I said it could be any shape. A paper ball is indeed
a shape."
He won the contest with ying colors.

My son and I went on a trip to Italy a month ago. He's now 14 years old and I've been
playing chess with him since he was 7 or 8, he's basically just been playing with me
every month or so ever since, never competed. I rarely beat him nowadays, if I make a
poor move he'll point it out and I'll get to re-think it, I would do this for him when he
was younger.
So, we bought one of these little chess boards with magnets and all that for like 5
bucks which we brought with us to Italy. One of these:
One night after we had arrived in Italy we decided to play a game. First game I lost
quite badly, but to my defense I could barely see those small pieces. I had a really hard
time distinguishing between the bishops and queens. And I pointed that out to him.
Wanna know how he replied?
"Hah, sure. Ill play next game without even looking at those god damn pieces if you
just stop complaining." And he turned his body 180 degrees facing the wall. "I'll open
up with e4."
I thought he was joking but simply went with the ow, calling my moves to him, he
would say his move out loud to me and I would move for him. I thought it was
ridiculous! No way he's gonna pull this o. I went for a cheesy check mate with queen
and bishop, no way he can spot that. Of course he did, two or three moves later I've
blundered a pawn and I can't believe it.
The rest of the game he owns me. Owns me. Although he had to ask where his knight
was once he remembered the position of all the pieces precisely. And he ended up
freaking winning the game.
WTF JUST HAPPENED?
EDIT: To everyone thinking that my kid is bad because he seems disrespectful to his
parent, he's not. It's our way of communicating, we do it like a joke. He says kinda
cocky things to me and I reply with even cockier statements, we nd it hilarious. We
realize that everyone doesn't nd this acceptable and therefore we don't do that kind
of thing unless it's just him and me.
It's not rude, its a joke.
Also, trust me, I have my reasons for going anonymous that has to do with the fact
that I went to Italy.

I wanted to teach my daughters how to appreciate my hard work sustaining us

being a single mom Since Im often requested to provide expensive toys and
gadgets.
I gave them $50 dollars each and said the rst to double that money in a period of 15
days would keep the initial money, the prots, and receive the amount of $200 as a
prize.
I was honestly expecting they would keep the $50 bucks and purchase some toys next
time we went shopping.
I was so wrong!!!!
Three days after that D. approaches me with $100 bill in her hand, she stood in front
of me without saying anything, just waiting for those $200 to be pulled out of my
wallet.
I was very impressed and surprised, I didn't noticed any small businesses going on.
I ain't see any 1 lemonade on the driveway going home But how?
Turns out that D. And G. (my daughters rst name initials) made a deal ! They would
give the ones $50 bucks to the another so when she wins the challenge they could
split it up and walk away with a fare $150 half of the total.
What made it even better is they asked their grandpa to provide them a $100 bill for
the two $50 dollars bills they each had. After that, they agreed D. would be selected
for winning the challenge since she was one year older then G. But guess who was the
one who came up with the idea and the whole plan?
It was G.
At that time D. was 6 years old and G. was 5.
I had to pay them the $200s since I never specied how the money had to be doubled.
Well played G. , well played my precious daughter. - Hey, TEAM: Nice Job!
Since then I have never made business deal again with my daughters without
writing down a very detailed set of rules for my own protection!
:D

I used to evaluate 4 year-olds for admission to a private kindergarten. The testing

involved puzzles, games and questions, but the most impressive thing I saw a child do
had nothing to do with the test itself.
A boy was trying to get some markers o of a wire shelf like this:
One marker fell to the oor and rolled under the bottom shelf, where the boy couldn't
reach it. I assumed he'd either ignore it or ask for a grown up to help. Instead, the boy
grabbed a few other markers and clicked them together like this:
He then swept the line of markers under the shelf to get the stray one back. Pretty
smart!

My rst grade son, age 7, asked for new batteries for one of those toys little boys love
and mothers hate, something that lights up and makes loud laser shooting noises.
I said no.
Soon I hear some sort of galactic battle raging in his room and I ask where he got the
batteries. He shows me this: (I sketched it to illustrate)
He tells me he found two batteries from another toy, and he thought that maybe if he
closed the circuit, it might work even without the three batteries. He tried it and it
worked!
I'm so impressed that he thought of that on his own and problem solved a solution I
would not have considered.
(His older brother really likes electronic stu, and that is how he knew about circuits.
Still impressive.)

Knowing what an absolute astronomy geek I am, she naturally asked for my help. As
we completed the assignment together, we bumped into the last bonus question.
The question went something like this;
What do gravity and globalization have in common?
I burst out laughing. Your teacher has no idea what she is teaching, does she? I
asked. With a puzzled look on her face, she asked our big brother to give his opinion

I have twin sons. Theyre now 15, but when they were around 3 years old, I noticed
that whenever we came home from being out, theyd be confronted with the decision
of which of their (ridiculously) many toys they were going to play with.
Theyd rush into the living room, and Tim went straight for whatever he wanted to
play with, and within a few minutes, his brother Nathan would decide that he just
had to play with whatever Tim was now deeply engrossed with, and would start a big
ght over it or even wrestle it from him forcefully (Nathan was signicantly larger).
If my husband or I were around, wed try and adjudicate, but it always ended in tears
and drama.
After a month or two of this, I noticed a change in pattern. All of a sudden, Tim was
just giving up his toy to Nathan without a ght. I was worried that he wasnt standing
up for himself, so I said to him: You know, Tim, you had just as much a right to play
with that toy as Nathan.
He said: I know. I knew hed take it from me so I played with something I didnt mind
him taking. This [showing me what he was playing with now] was what I really wanted
to play with anyway.
Well played, Tim, well played.
His cunning has continued to manifest in other ways since then. :)
Note: Ive had dozens of edit suggestions from people from India, who think that
cunning is a negative/derogatory trait and necessarily synonymous with sneaky and
under-handed. I nd it an interesting cultural observation that this seems to be a
connotation unique to Indian English. In any case, I feel a need to defend my use of
this adjective. Im his mother and adore him, and this is clearly not what I intend; I
simply mean that hes intelligent and views things from multiple angles, and isnt
easy to outwit. :)

It wasn't anything he did. It was something he said.
My son was four. We were in the car on an errand. I was dropping o a donation to the
local Women's Emergency Shelter.
"Where are we going?" he asked.
I told him.
"What is it for?" he asked.
I explained, "it is a place for women and children to be safe."
"Why? Did someone hurt them?" he asked.
I nodded my head. "Yes",
There was a slight pause. Then he asked with great wisdom beyond his years, "Did
they get hurt on their outsides or their insides?"
Before I could answer, I had to stop and think about his question.
I said, "both".
We drove the rest of the way in thoughtful silence.

A chai vala (tea vendor) infront of my college dened a whole new level of smartness.
He made the perfect cup of tea any can ask for. Whats more, he was so consistent
with his recipe that it always tasted the same.
On the nal day of college, I visited his stall for a last cup of tea. Out of curiousity, I
asked him the recipe.
He asked me to watch as he started to prepare a fresh batch.
This is what he did
1. Boil water in a pan
2. Add cardamom and ginger.
3. Add tea leaves.
4. Add milk.
Simple right? I was not amused. I asked him,
Bhaiya aap har baar ek hi jaisi chay kaise bna lete ho? Vahi taste, vahi shakkar,
hamesha utna hi doodh, kaise karte ho?
(How do you manage to make exactly the same tea everytime? Exact taste, same
sweetness and the correct amount of milk everytime, how do you do it?)
He smiled and lit a match stick.
This, he said, smiling shrewdly.
He placed the match stick over the boiling tea so that the ame came directly in
contact with the steam arising from the pan. I was taken aback.
He smiled knowingly and told me his secret.
When the tea is about to get ready and is boiling at its peak, I place this lighted
matchstick directly above the steam and wait for 3 seconds.
1. If the ame goes o in approx 3 seconds, you got the tea right. The perfect
amount of milk and sugar.
2. If it goes o in 12 seconds, the milk is right but the sugar is in excess. Add
some water and a little milk.
3. If it stays for more than 4 seconds, the tea is way too diluted. The kind
one can wash their hands with. Add some milk and sugar and repeat 1 or
2.
Man, I was stunned!
Try doing this at your home when you make tea. You will love it. So will your guests.
EDIT 1: Okay, I do not know the exact science behind it. Although I have tried it and it
works for me, even today. Instead of matchstick, I use a Butane lighter. If you gure it
out, feel free to drop in your views in the comments.
Edit 2: Amazed at such overwhelming response!

What are some important internet companies we seldom hear
about?
Adam D'Angelo, Quora CEO
Answered Aug 14, 2016
Booking.com is a huge business that most people arent aware of. They account for
the majority of Pricelines current 70 billion market cap.
Their strategy has been to focus on conversion optimization. That means the chance
of a user ending up booking a hotel given that they visit Booking.coms site is much
higher than other hotel booking services. The result is that they make signicantly
higher revenue per visit than their competition, which then allows them to outbid all
of them in ad spending, because a click is worth more to them than anyone else. I
heard they were the #1 advertiser by revenue on Google Adwords at one point.
The fact that they are based in Amsterdam, they are owned by a company whose
brand is a smaller internet product, and most of their trac comes from ad spending,
makes people forget about them, but they are one of the biggest and most protable
internet companies.

A few friends and I were watching trailer of a new movie, while my nephew and few 10
year olds were running around the house playing some game.
A little about the hero of this movie - Rajinikanth is the biggest cine star with an
unrivaled mass following. People go crazy over his movie and his lm releases are
celebrated like a festival. Producers pay a fortune to have him in their movies. He has
tons of everything one could ask for in their life such as fame, money, power and what
not. He is also 65 years old and still does action movies.
This is the dude -
Airline ights having paint job for his movie release (they even have special ights for
people travelling to watch his movie)
Now to the story - we were discussing the various aspects of the trailer and his ability
to do action sequence at such an old age was one among them. I then said "I cannot
even imagine why he still bothers to act. He has everything. Had I been in his position
I would have long retired and led a peaceful vacation lled life in the Caribbean
enjoying the hard works of my past"
My nephew who was 11 year at that time, while still running behind someone else,
shouted from across the hall one single sentence that forever reverberates in my mind
"That's why you would never be him"
It took us grownups a while to realize what he meant. But when the meaning sunk in,
we were all stunned by the depth of his answer. Where do kids these days learn to talk,

If 4n + 2
n
= 2, whats n?
Justin Wang, Competitive Highschool Mathematics
Updated May 2 Upvoted by Anton Fahlgren, M.S. Mathematics, Stockholm University (2018)
and Amos Shapir, MSc Computer Science & Mathematics, Hebrew University of Jerusalem
(1979)
Unlike the other people, I will show you how to solve this algebraically-because thats
the most beautiful way to do anything. Also, I dont like things that are real, so lets
use our imagination. I will bring this into the complex plane using Eulers formula.
First lets solve for our real answer.
n n
4 + 2 = 2
2 n n
(2 ) + 2 = 2
n 2 n
(2 ) + 2 2 = 0
n
x = 2
2
x + x 2 = 0
(x + 2)(x 1) = 0
x = 1, 2
n
2 = 1; n = 0
n
2 = 2;
Heres where it gets interesting. Lets solve this on the imaginary plane.
n ln(2) = ln(2);
Now lets solve for what ln(2) is
ln(2) = x
x
e = 2
We know that ei = 1
So just solving on the most basic angle, x = i + ln(2)
So jumping back,
n ln(2) = ln(2)
n ln(2) = i + ln(2)
i
n = + 1
ln(2)
So the answer to the problem is (assuming the easiest angle in complex plane)
[math]n = 0, \frac{i\pi}{\ln(2)} + 1[/math]
Now for those of you who want a more complete answer (because there happens to be
an innite amount of solutions)
[math]n = 0, \{\,\frac{(2k - 1) * i\pi}{\ln(2)} + 1\:|\:k\;\in\;\mathbb{Z}\,\}[/math]

How can I get the best of Quora?
Will Wister, 1000s of hours on Quora, 150K+ edits, Quora admin emeritus.
Updated Sep 12, 2016 Upvoted by Tahsin Mayeesha, Quora TW 2014-2016, Top Question
writer : 2016. and Mohit Arora, Top Writer 2014, 15
Originally Answered: How do I get the best out of Quora?
I prioritize people, blogs and topics I really care about.
I do some of this via RSS:
1. Start using an RSS reader. (I use Thunderbird's RSS reader)
2. Go to a topic page on Quora and copy the URL.
3. Hit the subscribe button in the RSS reader and paste in the URL. You may
need to append "/rss" to the URL after you paste in, depending on the feed
reader.
4. Then you'll see a feed.
5. Then pick a folder for the feed. Maybe call it "Quora High Priority."
6. Repeat this for the few topics you care most about.
7. You can also do this for people on Quora. So if there are a few people who
consistently select good content for your Quora home page, you can follow
them more closely. Simply go to the person's prole on Quora and copy the
URL. Then go to the RSS reader, hit subscribe and paste in that URL.
8. You can also subscribe to someone's answers only. If you go to someone's

answers you can copy that URL, go to your RSS reader, hit subscribe and
paste that in, you'll only follow their answers and nothing else. In my case,
the URL would be http://www.quora.com/will-wister/answers.
9. You can also follow a user's questions only and nothing else. This allows you
to really zero in on what you want.
10. You can also subscribe to boards anonymously this way. Simply copy and
paste the board URL into the RSS reader.
11. You can put all of these subscriptions into a single folder on the RSS reader.
12. You can then pull up this folder whenever you want, read its items and mark
them as read.
13. In this way, you can pay EXTRA attention to any topics or people of interest
14. You can use this to read full posts or just scan headlines of questions.
15. You can create lower priority folders for when you have extra time and you
feel like it.
16. After I wrote this answer, Quora created a subscribe feature so you can be
notied of peoples questions and answers
Beyond that, when I follow topics I particularly like, I toggle the email settings so that
I can be notied of all new questions in those topics.
Beyond that, I also follow a lot of questions (10s of thousands). That's another way I
prioritize things.
Beyond that, Quora's Blogs feature is a great way to prioritize the content you want. If
you can nd blogs that match your interests, you can get daily updates from very
specic topic niches by following those boards. Toggling the setting to follow blogs by
email is excellent because then you get notications for blogs you really care about.
See How can I nd Quora's Blogs on a specic topic?
Beyond that I use Review Queues (discontinued Quora feature) to surface some
interesting content that I'd otherwise miss; sometimes those queues are used for
admin/reviewing work I do, but they're also great for nding awesome new topics and
content I wouldn't have otherwise known about.
I also follow Quora on Twitter and Facebook I also follow a lot people who share
good Q&A in their feeds on Twitter and Facebook.
Beyond that I do a lot of searching and browsing on a regular basis. That lets me nd
great questions I'd otherwise miss.
Another thing is that when I nd questions, I often add topics to them if those
topics are needed. That helps ensure that the questions I care about get the attention
they deserve.
Beyond that I add a lot of questions to encourage people to write about things I'm
interested in.
Another suggestion is that if you click on topics you're interested in, and then click on
followers, you will see a ranked list of the top contributors to that topic. If you follow
them, you'll likely get more great answers in your feed on those topics.
Of course, I also use the feed too. I've looked around for a lot of niche topics and I
currently follow 1850+ topics.
Also, I follow a good number of people. See my thoughts on whether to follow a lot of
people or a few on Quora. Your feed may improve as a result of it (mine did.)
If you follow a lot of RSS feeds, questions, blogs or topics via email, you'll get a lot of
email or feeds on Thunderbird.
Here's a tip for Thunderbird users. If you select a lot of emails or feed posts, they will
all appear in one window, one after the other. You can scroll through them like a
champion!
Since I get a ton of notications by email, I have some specic techniques to handle all
the emails I receive from Quora.
Beyond that you can send feedback to Quora that you'd like to be able to prioritize
topics on the home page
Email feedback@quora.com
Vote up some of the answers on the question : How could Quora improve the
homepage feed? or add your own. I have one rather lengthy answer in there,
and being able to set the importance of various topics is one of my major
suggestions.

couldnt lift my bag to get out of the class.
Afters three years of this, I became used to it. To be honest, I used to count the holes
in the ceiling pattern and it made it much easier.
After I was 12, he started to require from another student from my class to hold a
caliper compasses sting below my left elbow during the punishment. Something like
this:
That was the worst variation of his punishment. Not at all because of the pain.
The really ugly part of the punishment was built on my mates reaction, who was not
as strong willed as I was. As soon as the rst drop of blood appeared, he always burst
into tears.
While I wasnt expecting him to react like this the rst time, I soon came to fear that
moment. I didnt want and couldnt stand it to be that upsetting to him, even if I
realize now how inhumane it was.
And that is how it became upsetting to me. I was trying as hard as I could to keep up
and not get jabbed during the remaining 40 minutes while hearing him sning below
me, in fear of the blood.
So yes, it went way too far. That was sick.
In case people ask about why my parents didnt do something, know that it was an
harsh environment and the performance cult was in control. No one listened to kids
complaining.
That was 20 years ago. As far as I can tell, that teacher got into some trouble at some
point but could nish his career without being expelled.

Michael OLeary is the CEO of Ryanair, the European equivalent to Southwest Airlines
in the US.
Tiring of the long commute between Ryanairs headquarters in Dublin airport and his
home in Mullingar, OLeary created a taxi company.
The twist is, the company owns a single cab. Yes, one. Its a 2007-Mercedes-Benz S-
Class taxi, with hackney carriage license MG99. The car has a taxi meter and, unlike
normal cars, is allowed to use the bus lanes within Dublin enabling OLeary to
dramatically cut his commute time. Now thats cool.

Steve Wozniak legally makes his own $2 bills. He was one of the founders of Apple
right alongside Steve Jobs. Suce it to say he's pretty rich.
Steve Wozniak carries around pads of $2 bills that he tries to pay for things with.
Whenever he goes shopping he just pulls out his pad of bills, tears o the appropriate
number of bills, and hands the cashier the bills. Many people won't accept it because
they think it's fake money.
To make them, he buys sheets of $2 bills from the US Treasury and has a local printing
company glue them together like a notepad and perforate the bills. Each $2 bill costs
him about $3 to make.
He's been stopped by the Secret Service multiple times, one of the times even being
read his Miranda rights.
Why does he do it? Entirely to confuse people and entertain himself.
References
He talks about it in an interview, which is well worth watching:
On his website he also recounts his experience of showing his fake ID to the Secret
Service while being investigated for using the bills: Welcome to Woz.org

Updated Dec 17, 2015 Upvoted by Franklin Parker, works with very wealthy families
Think bigger! Allow me to recommend the hobbies and pursuits of Nathan Myhrvold,
an extremely wealthy Microsoft alumnus. He's a rare character who has been proled
by the likes of New Yorker super-writer Malcolm Gladwell. Each Myhrvold project
should pass your "awesome" test. The fact that he ts them all into his schedule is
quite astonishing:
1. Dinosaur research. Just for the fun of it, he published a peer-reviewed

scientic paper in 1997, arguing that some dinosaurs' tails were suciently
long and supple that they could have produced sonic booms when waved
around. The abstract is here: Supersonic sauropods? Tail dynamics in the
diplodocids
2. Installing a T-rex skeleton in his house. Photos are here: Nathan

Myhrvolds T-Rex House
3. Landscaping with Mesozoic-era plants. If dinosaurs can be brought back

to life, they'll need the right sorts of plants to eat. Eager to be helpful,
Myhrvold has landscaped the grounds around his home accordingly. In the
Air - The New Yorker
4. Inventing a mosquito-zapping laser. His TED talk on the subject is here:

Could this laser zap malaria?
5. Spending $1 million on old-computer replicas. We're talking about

Charles Babbage's "Dierence Engine," an 1849 creation. Myhrvold
bankrolled a project to create a replica of this marvelous old device, as
described here: Computer History Museum unboxes a Babbage dierence
engine
6. Eating rotten shark in Iceland. There's a photo at the start of this answer,
and further details are here: Nathan Myhrvold Ocial Site
7. Pitching a very odd solution to global warming. We're talking about

balloons, giant hoses and sulfur dioxide. Details are here: With Nathan
Myhrvold in Saint Barths Learning About His Solution to Global Warming:
the Stratoshield
8. Building a coee table out of a nuclear reactor core. Details are here.
Nathan Myhrvold, myth buster Lots of other home-decorating oddities,
too. And why not?
9. Competing in the world barbecue championship. Details are here. My

First Memphis in May You'll be delighted -- but not surprised -- to know
that Myhrvold won a prize in the "anything but pork" category. His entry
involved barbecuing ostrich meat. And why not?
10. Creating the ultimate cookbook. This would be "Modernist Cuisine," a six-
volume set (2,400 pages) that has a shipping weight of 50 pounds. The books
include no end of astonishing photos, including a freeze-frame shot of a
bullet passing through jello. Myhrvold took many of the photos himself. The
whole assemblage is available on Amazon for $539, and a link is here:
Modernist Cuisine: The Art and Science of Cooking . Keep a forklift handy
when it arrives.
Most of these links will lead you to even more Myhrvold projects, hobbies,
eccentricities, etc. Let me know in the comments section when fascination turns into
fatigue.

Dan Kanivas, Save. Invest. Repeat.
One of the coolest things that rich people do is that they can choose to wipe their
calendars clean.
Before you say that this is not a very cool thing to do, consider this: are there any tasks
on your personal calendar that you would rather not do? Would having a sucient
amount of money enable you to rid your calendar of this pesky obligation? If so, then
you understand my point about why this is such a cool ability to have.
None other than Bill Gates feels this way, as shown in the quote below:
Bill Gates once wrote that being jealously protective of his time was an important
lesson he'd learned from Buett. "There are only 24 hours in everyone's day.
Warren has a keen sense of this. He doesn't let his calendar get lled up with
useless meetings."
And then here is Warren Buett elaborating further on the importance of not letting
others dictate how he uses his time:
Back in 1991, Warren Buett met Bill Gates, though as he tells career community
website Levo League, neither of them were excited to see one another. But it turned
out they had a great time talkingand during the course of the conversation,
Buett pulled out the little black date book that he carries in his pocket. He ipped
through it: The pages were practically empty.
"You've gotta keep control of your time," Buett says, "and you can't unless you say
no. You can't let people set your agenda in life."

In high school, our faculty placed a jar lled with jelly beans in a glass case in the
main hallway, and invited each student to guess over the next couple of weeks how
many beans there were. Closest guess would win.
The winner was a fellow who already had a reputation for being quite smart. But this
was really more of a "lucky guess" kind of thing, wasn't it? His winning must have
been coincidental to his scholarly reputation, right? How could this super-student
have had any real advantage over the rest of us?
Well, as it turns out, Smarty had gone out and purchased himself an exact replica of
the jar in the school hallway, as well as a few bags of the exact same jellybeans....and
ended up "guessing" the number of beans almost exactly!
He won a hundred dollars, and to my mind, deserved every penny!

Sam Barnes, studied Computer Science at Pennsylvania State University (2017)
The best answer that I have ever encountered on this subject was found on Reddit
(What do insanely wealthy people buy, that ordinary people know nothing about?
/r/AskReddit ). Here's my favorite answer from the thread:
I can answer this one. For some reason, I attract these people into my life. I don't do
anything super extraordinary. I am not famous. But I count many people with ultra
high net wealth among my close friends and I have spent more time than even I can
believe with 8 dierent billionaires. This is not just meet-and-greet time. This is
small group and even one-to-one time. I dated the daughter of one billionaire
several decades ago. So I have gotten a peek into this life.
Let's get one thing out of the way. There are gradations of rich. I see four major
breaking points:
Worth $10mm-$30mm liquid (exclusive of value of primary residence).

At this level, your needs are met. You can live very comfortably at a 4-star/5-star
level. You can book a $2000 suite for a special occassion. You can y rst class
internationally (sometimes). You have a very nice house, you can aord any
healthcare you need, no emergency nancial situation can destroy your life. But
you are not "rich" in the way that money doesn't matter. You still have to be
prudent and careful with most decisions unless you are on the upper end of this
scale, where you truly are becoming insulated from personal nancial stress.
(Business stress exists at all levels). The banking world still doesn't classify you as
'ultra high net worth'
Net worth of $30mm-$100mm

At this point, you start playing with the big boys. You can y private (though you
normally charter a ight or own a jet fractionally through Net Jets or the like), You
stay at 5 star hotels, you have multiple residences, you vacation in prime time (you
rent a ski-in, ski-out villa in Aspen for Christmas week or go to Monaco for the
grand Prix, or Canne for the Film Festival--for what its worth, rent on these places
can run $5k-20k+ per NIGHT.), you run or have a ontrolling interest in a big
company, you socialize with Conressmen, Senators and community leaders, and
you are an extremely well respected member in any community outside the world's
great cities. (In Beverly Hills, you are a minor player at $80 million. Unless you
really throw your weight around and pay out the nose, you might not get a table at
the city's hottest restaurant). You can buy any car you want. You have personal
assistants and are starting to have 'people' that others have to talk to to get to you.
You can travel ANYWHERE in any style. You can buy pretty much anything that
normal people think of as 'rich people stu'
$100mm-$1billion
I know its a wide range, but life doesn't change much when you go from being
worth $200mm-$900mm. At this point, you have a private jet, multiple residences
with sta, elite cars at each residence, ownership or signicant control over a
business/entity that most of the public has heard of, if its your thing, you can
socialize with movie stars/politicians/rock stars/corporate elite/aristocracy. You
might not get invite to every party, but you can go pretty much everywhere you
want. You denitely have 'people' and sta. The world is full of 'yes men'. Your
ability to buy things becomes an art. One of your vacation home may be a 5
bedroom villa on acreage in Cabo, but that's not impressive. You own a private
island? Starting to be cool, but it depends on the island. You just had dinner with
Senator X and Governor Y at your home? Cool. But your billionaire friend just had
dinner with the President. You have a new Ferrari? Your friend thinks their
handling sucks and has a classic, only-ve-exist-in-the-world-type of car. Did I
mention women? Because at this level, they are all over the place. Every event,
most parties. The polo club. Ultra-hot, world class, smart women. Power and
money are an aphrodisiac and you have it in spades. Anything thing you want from
women at this point you will nd a willing and beautiful partner. You might not
emotionally connect, but damn, she's hot. One thing that gets rare at this level?
friends and family that love you for who you are. They exist, but it is pretty damn
hard to know which ones they are.
$1billion
I am going to exclude the $10b+ crowd, because they live a head-of-state life. But at
$1b, life changes. You can buy anything. ANYTHING. In broad terms, this is what
you can buy:
Access. You now can just ask your sta to contact anyone and you will get a call
back. I have seen this rst hand and it is mind-blowing the level of access and
respect $1 billion+ gets you. In this case, I wanted to speak with a very well-known
billionaire businessman (call him billionaire #1 for a project that interested
billionaire #2. I mentioned that it would be good to talk to billionaire #1 and B2 told
me that he didn't know him. But he called his assistant in. "Get me the xxxgolf club
directory. Call B1 at home and tell him I want to talk to him." Within 60 minutes, we
had a call back. I was in B1's home talking to him the next day. B2's opinion
commanded that kind of respect from a peer. Mind blowing. The same is true with
access to almost any Senator/Governor of a billionaires party (because in most
cases, he is a signicant donor). You meet on an occassional basis with heads-of-
state and have real conversations with them. Which leads to
Inuence. Yes, you can buy inuence. As a billionaire, you have manyways to shape
public policy and the public debate, and you use them. This is not in any evil way.
the ones I know are passionate about ideas and are trying to do what they feel is
best (just like you would). But they just had an hour with the Governor privately, or
with the Secretary of Health, or the buy ads or lobbyists. The amount of inuence
you have can be heady.
Time. Yes, you can buy time. You literally never wait for anything. Travel? you y
private. Show up at the airport, sit down in the plane and the door closes and you
take o in 2 minutes, and y directly to where you are going. The plane waits for
you. If you decide you want to leave at anytime, you drive (or take a helicopter to
the airport and you leave. The pilots and stewardess are your employees. They do
what you tell them to do. Dinner? Your driver drops you o at the front door and
waits a few blocks away for however long you need. The best table is waiting for
you. The celebrity chef has prepared a meal for you (because you give him so much
catering business he wants you VERY happy) and he ensures service is impeccable.
Golf? Your club is so exclusive there is always a tee time and no wait. Going to the
Superbowl or Grammy's? You are whisked behind velvet ropes and escorted past
any/all lines to the best seats in the house.
Experiences. Dream of it and you can have it. Want to play tennis with Pete
Sampras (not him in particular, but that type of star)? Call his people. For a
donation of $100k+ to his charity, you could probably play a match with him. Like
Blink182? There is a price where they would simply come play at your private party.
Love art? Your people could arrange for the curator of the Louvre to show you
around and even show you masterpieces that have not been exhibited in years.
Love Nascar? How about racing the top driver on a closed track? Love science?
Have a dinner with Bill Nye and Neil dGT. Love politics? have Hillary Clinton come
speak at a dinner for you and your friends, just pay her speaking fee. Your mind is
the only limit to what is available. Because donations/fees get you anyone.
The same is true with stu. You like pianos? How about owning one Mozart used to
compose music on? This is the type of stu you can do.
IMPACT. Your money can literally change the world and change lives. It is almost
too much of a burden to think about. Clean water for a whole village forever?
chump change. A dying child need a transplant? Hell...you could just build and
fund a hospital and do it for a region.
RESPECT. The respect you get at this level is just over-the-top. You are THE MAN in
almost every circle. Governors look up to you. Fortune 500 CEOs look up to you.
Presidents and Kings look at you as a peer.
PERSPECTIVE. The wealthiest person I have spent time with makes about
$400mm/year. i couldn't get my mind around that until I did this: OK--let's
compare it with someone who makes $40,000/year. It is 10,000x more. Now let's
look at prices the way he might. A new Lambo--$235,000 becaome $23.50. First
class ticket internationally? $10,000 becomes $1. A full time executive level helper?
$8,000/month becomes $0.80/month. A $10mm piece of art you love? $1000.
Expensive, so you have to plan a bit. A suite at the best hotel in NYC $10,000/night
is $1/night. A $50million home in the Hamptons? $5,000. There is literally nothing
you can't buy except.
Love. Sorry to sound so trite, but it is nearly impossible to have a normal emotional
relationship at this level. It is hard to sacrice for another person when you are
never asked to sacrice ANYTHING. Money can solve all problems for someone, so
you oer it, because there is so much else to do. Your time is SOOOO valuable that
you ration it. And that makes you lose connections with people.
Anyway, that is a really long answer, but I have a very unique perspective because I
have seen behind the curtain of the great and mighty OZ. just wanted to share
EDIT: Wow! An unbelievable response to this (8x gold and 6000 upvotes. OMG)
Thank you for all the comments and PMs. I am working 14 hour days right now, so I
can't answer most, but to answer the most common PMs:
Seeing all of this doesn't make me want to get into the top tier. Dierent lives have
the same emotional degree of diculty: I met Sylvester Stallone at a party a few
months back for the rst time. Great guy. Has a beautiful, smart wife and a great
career. He had a special needs son who died young. Nobody has it all. Nobody.
(sorry for the length)

What topics does Quora address best?
Anonymous
Updated Jun 15, 2013 Upvoted by Kat Li, Quora Marketing & BD '11-'13 and Tracy Chou,
Quora engineer '10-'11
Looking at the autosuggest feature in the main search box gives you a pretty good
idea of what Quora is really about at this point. A summary of what comes up if you
type just one letter, in verse:
A sets the table for the story we'll tell:

It's Angel Investing and then AOL.
B, I admit, dees our theme:

Barack Obama (politician) and Baseball, the American dream!
(Though lest we start to lose our base,
Bitcoin's safely in fourth place.)
C ponders Consciousness with philosophy snobs,

Then back to Venture Capital to do its day job.
Diaspora sits on the very top shelf.

That's a sentence you won't read anywhere else.
Here's the rst win for the political bus:

For E, The Economist (magazine)'s got the right stu.
F leads o with a predictable pair:

All-powerful Facebook (product) and trendy Foursquare.
(Sorry, Eli, you've been dissed,
Football isn't on the list.)
Google (company) owns all the eye can see,

Including the top two spots for the letter G.
H shows the wide range of the things we explain:

History, Humor, and the Human Brain.
If Investing's not that interesting

I's got a great second: Angel Investing!
J gives love to the other hacks --

Journalism leads the pack.
K suggests users, just like you and me,

Keith Rabois comes second to lovely Kat Li.
Linguistics starts to break our rhythm,

'Til L follows with Libertarianism (politics).
M, as any Quoran could guess,

Loves the Movies and the Major League Baseball best.
Another big win for that fourth alliance:

N starts o with Neuroscience.
Two terms? Wait and see.

But Barack Obama (politician) wins both O and B.
P is exactly the subjects you'd pick:

Philosophy preceded by Politics.
C'mon, it's Q, really, what else?

Quora loves to ponder itself.
Whatever your focus, whatever you want,

You gotta eat: it's Restaurants.
S shows some love for fabulous Sex --

But not before Startups, which Quorans love best.
T tells of a ticket that's exactly on theme:

Tech, Twitter (product), Tumblr (website), and even Techmeme.
User Acquisition's our Holy Grail.

Politics of the United States of America, in comparison, starts to pale.
For V, Silicon Valley aunts its dominance.
VentureBeat, Venture Capital, and Valuations (nance) have prominence.
We witnessed one day where we all were without you.

Wikipedia, w is proudly about you.
X is a strange letter, so the answer is funny:

How Does Company X Make Money?
The Valley's in awe, there is none that is greater,

Y's a cartel run by Y Combinator.
That Zynga (company) leads Z should be no surprise.

(Is it because the company's loved or despised?)
But the single best sign of how Quorans incline:
In third place, Mark Zuckerberg, in second Zach Klein.

Who are the top 3 people on Quora youd like to meet?
Gigi J Wolf, I got friends in low places
Answered May 10
There is no possible way I could narrow down to three the number of whom write here
that Id like to inict with my acquaintanceship in real time. There may not even be a
bottom to the list.
So, Im taking a leaf from the book of the Head Honcho of the Bottom Writers. The
BWs break the rules, baby, and stand not upon the order of their breaking.
I want to meet everyone with whom Ive had pleasant, heartwarming, intelligent
interactions on this site. Some feel like family, like the HH, who could be my son, even
though being only 36, it would be dicult for me to have a son his age.
Some ARE family- Look! Gigi has a brother-Daniel Wolf! (Hes very smart and likeable.
Go follow him.) Some have disappeared, and some are rarely here, but Id still jump
up and down if I met them in person.
Look! Its you!
Yeah, I know. Whod ya think it was?
Theyd try to edge away from the crazy lady making a spectacle of herself, but Id keep
sidling closer, intruding on their personal boundaries, wine sloshing out of my glass,
eyes glinting dangerously.
Instead of trying to pick a measly three people Id like to meet, or twenty people I
really like, Im going to do an end run around the OP and tell you with whom Ive had
REAL time interactions!
Like face to face, and on the phone. Yeah, the phone.
Last year, we met Dion Shaw and his wife for dinner when they came to town. It was
epic. So much fun, meeting someone you dont even know, and having a great time.
We had Mexican and margaritas, but I did not hug any shrubbery. I hope we see them
again soon.
And, just this last Saturday, I met the Willard of Quora, Kate Scott, for lunch. She
checked her phone nally and her boyfriend had called four times to make sure she
hadnt been snatched by the crazed internet maniac. (If she had, what would he have
done about it, by then? I could have been halfway to Texas with my haul.) Then my
guy called me to make sure of the same thing. He has cause to be worried about
internet acquaintances, but it was really herself I was meeting. Kate, by the way, is
exactly the way she is here, a small bundle of laughs. I had Asian, she had humus.
As for talking on the phone, which counts as real time, I talked to Terry Cohen a few
months back. Shes convinced she and I are related in the Twilight Zone, because
there are so many coincidences in our lives. We must have talked for two hours. We
keep planning another call, but havent gotten around to it.
Will Jennings is a hoot. The Counselor and I have talked on the phone a couple of
times. Hes quiet and gentlemanly, which surprised me no end. Snort.
Ive spoken to Jason Wells on the phone a few times. He always wears a mustache,
trench coat, and a fake rubber nose and glasses when hes on the phone, so Im just
guessing it was him. As far as I know, Wells was himself at all times, and is a funny,
funny man. He mailed me a copy of his book, but accidentally sent it to New Mexico.
The guy who got it called him! And then kept the book.
Wendi Tibbets called me a month or so ago. Shes everything youd expect and more
from a forest creature who doesnt really exist. Its amazing what they can do with
robotics nowadays. Just kidding; the Tibbets is real and is also a hoot.
So put your suspicions to rest. Most of us are real people, although we may still be
trolls. Disguises would be nothing for the likes of us.
And dont be surprised if I pull up in front of your house one day in a motor home.
Well try not to leak oil on your driveway.

I remember seeing a 20-something guy sitting in a Starbucks lounge. He was staring

at a Sudoku book. Now, I've done my share of Sudoku puzzles and I usually choose
"Expert" on my Sudoku game on my phone. So when I saw him just staring at it I
thought he was simply confused. A few minutes later he grabbed his pen and just
started writing: row by row, column by column, without any hesitation.
I don't know the "diculty" level of that particular puzzle, but I'm sure it was
probably a pretty tough one.
Oh. And when he got up I noticed he had a plain t-shirt on with just a "pi" symbol on
it. Total geek. Awesome.

How very wet this water is. L. Frank Baum, The Marvelous Land of Oz
Do you ever go Duuuuh, I couldve thought of that! after someone told you
something? Good ideas become obvious after the fact, but thats the point.
After, not before.
If you have a well-meaning friend like Christopher Columbus, theyll tell you:
Lets hear the mans story.
On March 15th in 1493, Christopher Columbus and his crew arrived back in Barcelona
from their rst, 7-month long voyage to the Americas.
They had been the rst Europeans in history to set foot on what is today known
as the Bahamas, Cuba, as well as Haiti and the Dominican Republic.
They were celebrated like modern day hip hop stars. After Columbus had showed o
the treasures hed brought home, among them unheard of things like the tobacco
plant (arent we lucky he found that), the pineapple and the hammock, the Spanish
royalty invited Columbus to dine with them.
As he was munching on a delicious turkey leg, one of the nobles across the table said:
You know, actually it was inevitable for us to nd this place. We have sooooo many
great explorers. In fact, if Id had a eet I wouldve done it myself!
Columbus almost choked on his piece of poultry. He couldnt believe his ears. Even
worse, the rest of the fat aristocrats started chiming in:
Yeah, youre right, I couldve done that!
Me too, actually!
So could I!
But Columbus wasnt having it. It was his day. Columbus Day, for Petes sake!
(Although technically thats in October).
He called over one of the servants and said:
Bring me a dozen boiled eggs!
Columbus enjoyed the befuddled looks on the blue blooded faces as he handed each
of them one of the eggs and said:
If yall are so smart, I bet you can all make an egg stand upright - without any tools
or help!
They all tried, keeping the egg upright with their index nger, then letting it go,
mustering all their balancing skills, but no one was able to pull it o.
After watching them fail for a couple minutes, Columbus took his egg, tapped its
bottom on the table, so that it slightly broke, and set it upright on the dented
end.
As the royals buried their faces in their hands, Columbus said, tongue-in-cheek:
If it was that simple, why didnt any of you think of it?
Shut them right up!
This story is also known as The Egg of Columbus . I may have been paraphrasing
:-)

He got his bike shipped to Hungary and in his free time he hopped on his bike and
explored the city and its vicinity.
By himself.
He stopped in a bike shop to get his bike xed,
then he stopped in a small local countryside restaurant to ll up,
later he went to a small local winery for wine tasting,
and then took some pics with the local people.
Harrison Ford could really act like a star because he is one. But it seems he rather

How can an answer like this one (link in description) get so many
upvotes when anyone could have found this information by a
simple Google search? Is it an indication of copy-paste answers
ruling on Quora?
http://qr.ae/0qNwC
Nipun Sher, Active user since late 2014
Answered May 11, 2015 Upvoted by Jeremy Miles, Quantitative Analyst at Google (2015-
present) and Ilker Deligoz, Video architect @ Google
First of all, if you have a question that directly relates to my activity (questions, answers,
comments, etc.) on Quora, I'd appreciate if you'd either A2A or message me about it.
Thank you, Archie D'Cruz, for tagging me in your answer. Without it, I probably
would have remained oblivious to it.
Anyway. Coming to your question:
How can an answer like this one get so many upvotes when anyone could have
found this information by a simple Google search online?
To be honest, initially, even I was, as you say, baed by the reception this answer
garnered. Personally, I think, I have written answers that are lot better than the one
you've put to the guillotine here. Yet, those answers don't even have 1% of upvotes
and/or views that my DDG answer has received. So, what is so special about the DDG
answer that it has become, dare I say it, viral? I don't think there is one specic reason
for it. Instead, I think, it is a combination of the following factors:
1) Popular Topics: The question has been tagged under topics that have
thousands of followers. As a result, my answer has reached a lot of eyeballs that it
otherwise wouldn't have, if those topics were not popular.
2) Underdog Factor: Everyone loves an underdog. Compared to behemoths like

Google Search and Bing, DDG is just a minor player. As shown by some of the
comments on my answer, a lot of the people were not even aware of how good DDG
really is. So, I think, this was a major factor in people liking the answer so much.
Furthermore, hundreds of people have thanked me for the answer, and that is far
more valuable than upvotes.
3) Top Writer/Power User support: The answer really caught on re especially after
top writers like Robert Frost and Balaji Viswanathan upvoted it. Together, those two
alone, have more than 170,000 followers. I guess, when they upvoted my answer, it
got pushed into the feed of a number of their followers. Other TWs and Power Users
have upvoted and/or promoted the answer as well. This cascading eect has resulted
in bringing even more views. And, more views => more upvotes (not always, though).
4) DDG support: My answer received support from DDG, too. Their Twitter page
retweeted this:
Also, I think, the update on my answer (that DDG oered me free merchandise)
helped, too. You know, some people would've found that to be cool. I did.
5) "Share" Support: The answer has been shared (tweeted and promoted) a lot, which
has resulted in more views. And, as aforementioned, more views can bring in more
upvotes.
6) Presentation: I am big on presentation. I think, it is not only important to have

valuable information in your answer, it is equally important to present that
information nicely. That's why I make sure my answers have good use of headlines,
italics, bold, useful images, blockquotes, and citations. As Kelly Kinkade mentioned
in her answer, maybe some users found my presentation engaging -- and that helps.
7) Experience: I have been a DDG user for quite a while now. All the points I
mentioned in my answer, I wrote from my experience as a user. I didn't need to
research them. I made a concerted eort to highlight things that a normal user (like
me) would nd useful. I kept the language simple, wrote short paragraphs, and used
screenshots wherever necessary. This could be another reason why the answer
resonated with a lot of people.
8) Luck: It's pretty much self-explanatory. I just got lucky with this answer. That's
another explanation.
Does this mean copy paste answers rule on Quora?

On the contrary, such answers are downvoted/collapsed/deleted to oblivion on Quora.
So, if you were insinuating (if not, I apologize) that I copy-pasted or plagiarized the
answer, I humbly ask you to substantiate the claim. I, for one, can tell you that I did
not ctrl-c + ctrl-v the answer.
"found this information by a simple Google search online?"
If there's one thing in your question I take oense to, it is this. Why just a "simple
Google search"? Even DDG can do that. :D

Writing Sessions (Quora feature): Which host have you been most
impressed by so far?
Christopher VanLang, Quora Admin Emeritus
Answered Jan 28, 2016
I asked her an ungodly number of questions but I'm still of the opinion that the best
session so far is still Adriana Heguy. My initial concern (and still is a concern) is that
the writing sessions would only produce short boilerplate answers to trivially
meaningless questions about what their favorite color is and what they think about
the future of technology. I though that Adriana did a good job tackling meaningful
questions and put in the eort to give a detailed response balancing both opinions
and expert analysis. I had a reversal in my opinions on sessions after that evening.
Robert Frost is another session host who tackled an impressive number of questions
with sustenance. He just doesn't get my top pick because I had no idea that he was
holding a session and I couldn't pester him with questions.
In general, the best sessions have been those that have brought in active Quora users.
Non-Quorans have been content with answering the most popular questions with
answers that their aide probably wrote.

Which teenagers do you follow on Quora? Why do you follow them?
Haidar Abboud, Quora user, to state the obvious.
Updated Oct 9
The common denition of teenager appears to be a person between 13 and 19 years

old (although I pretty much stopped identifying as one by the time I turned 18, in
part due to the negative connotations of the term).
Going with that denition, below is a semi-complete list of Quora users I follow (as of
September 11, 2017) and have enough reasons to suspect that they have not celebrated
their twentieth birthdays yet, ordered alphabetically according to their rst names.
Together (along with a few others I might be following without reading many of their
answers), they represent a small minority of the total number of users I currently
follow.
I) Daniel Ptashny:
writes highly factual answers about a set of incredibly complicated topics

(politics of the Middle East, the state of Israel);
writes informative answers about Jewish culture/US culture (among other

topics of interest);
has a good sense of humor (e.g., here and here);
is interested in coin collecting, one of my childhood hobbies that I

unfortunately discontinued a long time ago and frequently consider going
back to nowadays.
II) Natalie Kalos:
writes informative answers pertaining to topics that have to do with

biomedical engineering (e.g., biology and physiology), an area that I
previously had an active interest in and continue to learn about today;
knows how to draw the line between the cases where expressing personal
opinions is called for and those where presenting neutral explanations of
dierent points of views in necessary;
her answers also oer an interesting and usually logically sound perspective
on college experience and US politics;
has sympathy for several categories of people (such as immigrants, or those

who present dierent, not necessarily valid, perspectives (which her general
opposition to blocking on Quora suggests)).
III) Rozalin Mohanty:
writes informative, detailed answers about biology and neuroscience, often

supplemented with helpful diagrams and reliable references;
some of her answers open a window on important parts of the world I am not
terribly familiar with (namely, Singapore and India);
the vast majority of her answers, regardless of the topics they handle, are
particularly well-written and provide interesting facts that are not known on
a large scale;
the style of her writing makes non-trivial, often even complicated, topics
accessible, and she also takes the time to provide decent responses to
questions readers may have.

What were Quora's best answers of 2013?
https://www.quora.com/What-are-Quoras-best-answers-of-2015
Tom Byron, Great place to share, exchange and learn!
This is the best piece of writing on Quora! Ever...
Guess what, Mom by Stephanie Vardavas on Dear Mom
Dear Mom,
I visited Daddy a few times while I was in Baltimore over the Thanksgiving holiday. I
even used my new driver's license to rent a car so I could go see him whenever I
wanted! But I digress.
When I went to see him on Monday, we sat talking in the common area and out of the
blue he said to me, "Would you like to see Mommy?'
Startled, I replied, "Yes. Yes, I would."
He said, "She's around here somewhere. She'll be out in a few minutes."
I didn't correct him. I waited for him to continue.
He said you might be taking a nap but would be up soon. Then he said, "She's getting
married!"
I confess this startled me even more than the beginning of the conversation had.
I replied, "She's getting married?"
He nodded. "Yes." He seemed happy for you.
"But wait, how can she marry somebody else? I thought she was already married to
YOU."
I could see the embarrassment on his face. I'm not sure whether he knew in that
moment that you were dead and he was living in his imagination, but I am sure that
in that moment the light bulb went on for him. I wanted to rescue him so I added
quickly, "You must be thinking of somebody else. Isn't that right? You are thinking of
somebody else."
He nodded. "Yeah, somebody else."
A few minutes later he pointed out the door of the room you would come out of. No
one came out. Later he said, "There she is!" and when I looked over I saw a slender
little old lady with short white hair like yours, in a wheelchair, and I gured that she
looked just enough like you that he was confused. As long as he doesn't try to visit her
in the middle of the night I think it's harmless.
We all miss you, Mom, but it looks like Daddy has found a coping strategy that works
for him.
Love you always,
S.

Do you remember the earthquake in Haiti from a few years back?
A friend of mine was big on working with orphans and had spent a lot of time at an
orphanage in Haiti. So when the earthquake happened, he couldn't sleep all night --
he couldn't stop thinking about all those orphans whose faces he knew so personally.
The next day he takes a plane to the DR, walks up to a huge cargo truck, and buys it on
the spot. He goes to the nearest store, walks in, and buys out the store. Clothing,
water, garden hoses, blankets, on and on. He does the same thing at more stores, until
the truck is completely full.
Now he drives across the border to Haiti and heads straight to the orphanage.
Miraculously, while the country was a mess the orphanage was stable. There are hugs
and tears all around, and they unload all that he has brought.
But it doesn't end there.
He drives back to the DR and does the same thing a second time that afternoon. The
next day he does it all over again, once in the morning plus once in the afternoon. The
orphanage has a super-abundance of supplies, so they become a makeshift disaster
relief depot, and things are being distributed all over from this location. He was there
for several weeks and did the same thing over and over.
I'm not quite sure why he stopped. I do know that his church heard about what he was
doing and wanted to get involved. Perhaps they just took over at some point, since the
network was already built. They ended up bringing in a slew of other churches they
knew, so that would make sense.
So what did money allow? It allowed him to think about something he wanted to
accomplish and go accomplish it. It allowed him to clear his schedule for a month. It
allowed him to get access to a country at a moment's notice that would normally be
inaccessible at the time. It allowed him to point at a large object like a truck or even
an entire store's inventory and just say, "I'll take that" -- every day for weeks, multiple
times per day. And it allowed him to pave the way for many organizations to become
part of something he really cared about.
And by the way, his net worth increased while he was o doing all of this.

The actor Keanu Reeves
Boy does he live up to that!
Look at him munching on a simple sandwich sitting all alone on a public bench, not
giving a damn about his status as an A-List Actor.
Even as Keanu Reeves rose through the ranks to become one of the top-paid actors
in Hollywood, he preferred to live in rental houses and hotels. Hes one of the only
Hollywood stars without a mansion .
He said: I live in a at, I have everything that I need at anytime, why choose an
empty house?
He gave away $35 million, which he earned from the Matrix sequels, to the special
eects and makeup teams and this just shows he doesn't really care for the money.
(Edit: There are some articles online that say he never wrote any cheque for his SFX
team. But there is no tangible evidence as of now)
It is said that he gave up a lucrative role, reprising his character in Speed 2, just so that
he could act in the lead role of a Canadian Stage production of HAMLET.
This picture taken in 1997 shows Keanu spending one morning of his life with a
homeless man in Hollywood. He shared and talked with that man without even
bothering about his status.
How many of us here would even spend our valuable time and energy with homeless
people, if not for some charity or some social work program?
Watch this video shot of Keanu when he travelled in a subway. You will see Keanu
giving up his seat for a woman.
After seeing all these examples from his life, one can't help but admire the way
Keanu Reeves lives.

I don't know. I don't even know how one can tell. It is certainly clear by my prole
picture, taken thirty years ago, that I am no teenager, but I never thought to look
through prole pictures. I follow people who have written answers I enjoyed reading. I
nd such people in one of two ways. If I receive an up-vote or a comment, I look at
that person's prole to see if they have written any answers. If they have, and I read
interesting ones, I follow them. I also read answers to questions; the answers which
show up in the page with the little book icon. If I enjoy an answer I check on the
author's prole. If I like some more of their answers, I follow them.
(I am not even sure how to nd out whom I follow. It isn't like Facebook. I looked at
my Stats Page; their are no followers listed there. There are none on my Prole page.
How do I nd this out? I have never looked before.)
Edit:
After another Quoran explained to me about how to nd my followers, I looked
through the page and found that two of them say that they are teens. One uses the
word "teenager" and one notes that he is a "high school student."

If 4n + 2
n
= 2, whats n?
Daniel Rastelli
Answered Apr 13 Upvoted by Joe Dinius, B.S. Math & Physics. M.S./Ph.D Applied Math.
nonlinear systems and chaos
You can very simply guess n=0 solves this equation, but that ignores a very
interesting potential solution.
So, we can rewrite this using the power laws as
[math](2^n)^2 + 2^n - 2 = 0[/math]
Which may be factorised to
[math](2^n - 1)(2^n + 2) = 0[/math]
Which of course gives the real solution (note real as in non complex, not as in the
right solution) of
[math]2^n = 1 \rightarrow n = 0[/math]
Which you can trivially see ts into the equation, but more interesting is the value for
[math]2^n = -2[/math]
To solve this we shall rewrite -2 as a complex number in Euler form and take ln of
both sides
[math]2^n = 2e^{i\pi}[/math]
l[math]n(2^n) = ln(2e^{i\pi}) = ln(2)+ln(e^{i\pi})[/math]
And [math]ln(2^n) = n\cdot ln(2) [/math]and [math]ln(e^{i\pi}) = i\pi[/math]
So [math]n=\frac{ln(2)+i\pi}{ln(2)}=1+\frac{\pi}{ln2}i[/math]
Which is roughly [math]1+4.53i[/math]

Aaron Shoung - We dont really write a lot, but when we do, I really enjoy
receiving your messages. Its great knowing that out there is someone who
see things similar as I do. I like to know his opinions on topics I am interested

from that, if I have a question, he answers them in the most detailed way that
there is no need to research on Google any further. :)

Rich people can pretty much do whatever they want to do - what do you get someone
who has everything? It makes you think of this song:
Barrett Strong - Money (thats what I want)
Seems like rich men really enjoy woman - they like to spoil them and have many of
them :)
Private Jets:
Billionaires also enjoy their time on Private Yachts
Money can trully bring people happiness is some cases. But after Billionaires get the
spending out of them, they start thinking about their legacy. Take for example the
men who built America. Andrew Carnegie built lots of Libraries.
John D. Rockerfeller
and many others.
Lately the biggest and best billionaires are exploring space travel. They want to be a
bigger part of the worlds problems - like what if the Ozone layer fails. So Billionaires
like Richard Branson and Elon Musk have started Virgin Galactic and Space X
respectively.
In the end of the day, you have to nd joy in whatever you do. If you are working on
something that don't make you feel fullled, you will struggle to achieve anything
that's really relevant in your life.
