  1. One thing that would help a lot is to place everyone on an even level, instead of pulling in class restrictions. Make sure everyone is heard and respected regardless of status. A lot of issues right now are related to class - if you’re not of a certain “status”, your experiences aren’t important.

  2. Aah, it really is refreshing to listen to innocent idealists dream about world peace and equality.

  3. I guess I’ll write a post about it, but I won’t be doing anything on Youtube since I’m kinda camera shy.

  4. “Increasing Success by Lowering Expectations”

    This is not another idealists dream on world peace and equality.

    We don’t need a revolution to improve, a slight CHANGE will do. Be in any form of slight changes, as long as today is better then yesterday, then the world is a BETTER place !

    Countries, Companies, and especially Individuals. Trust me, any kind of example that you will have in mind now.. is already a BIG change. In fact, to have the thought on how to improve is already a CHANGE.

    The habitat you reside, The society you live, The money you earn, The knowledge you learn, They way you think, The ACTION you take…

  6. making the world a better place…well..basically..in order to improve such a wide world to a better place…first and the very basic of all is dat..we sure need to make ourselves better person than what we are now..the world is obviously controlled and lived by us humans..the society.so baby steps must be taken first to make sure that every actions or every efforts that are taken is gonna produce at least some great results……
    everything starts from ourselves.

  7. i think that making this world a better place is not a mere dream but a reality that may come true if we all work together.

    first of all, i believe that the human nature should change. the reason behind all the wars and killings are just stupid actions made by mankind, which is, unfortunately, us. we are created by God with a mind to think and feelings to feel. often, we misuse these gifts of God and thus lies the root of all wars and killings. through war, many lives are lost and those that survive, they might “die” on the inside. war brings nothing but grieve, pain and loss. why wars happen? it is just because we want to show our power, our anger. but is that really necessary? it that really as important as the smiles on the little ones faces when they live happily?

    secondly, we must take action and join the fight to preserve mother nature. the future of our beautiful earth might just very well be none at all if we continue being lazy to even make a slight change. Is it that hard to make a small, tiny change if it is to save our earth? i think it is not for the beautiful sceaneries and all earth has to offer may just disappear from existance. and with earth, mankind might just vanish as well.

    thirdly, we should act as one and join the fight for world peace. why is it that many nations still think poorly of other nations? aren’t we all humans? are we not equals? to fight against each other will not benifit anyone, even animals and all living things. and to fight is to let the devil take hold of your body and mind.

    lastly, i agree with AdamAzwa and arinah, we do not need a revolution but a slight change and everything starts from ourselves!
