Most Expensive Perfume

Even if you win lots of millions of dollars, would you pay $865.00 U.S. for 1.6 oz.of Clive Christian No 1 for Women Perfume Spray? The most expensive perfume in the world?

I would feed hungry people before I buy that kind of expensive perfume. I think you have to be pretty selfish to use this kind of money just to smell good, don't you?

A Few Wise Words On Education

Next in importance to freedom and justice is popular education, without which neither freedom nor justice can be permanently maintained.
- James A. Garfield-

To be conscious that you are ignorant is a great step to knowledge.
-Benjamin Disraeli-

Wear your learning like your watch, in a private pocket; and do not pull it out, and strike it, merely to show that you have one.
– Lord Chesterfield-

Nations have recently been led to borrow billions for war; no nation has ever borrowed largely for education. Probably, no nation is rich enough to pay for both war and civilization. We must make our choice; we cannot have both.
-Abraham Flexner-

Search Not In Vain

Here's a new easy way to raise money for your favorite cause.

Just start using Good Search as your search engine and online shopping mall. Every time you search the Internet or make an online purchase at one of their partner merchants, GoodSearch makes a donation to your favorite nonprofit or school and it's powered by Yahoo! so you get great search results!

When I do a search I get $0.01 for my favorite charity For Haiti With Love.

It feels good to be doing something to help the Haitian people in needs.

Thanksgivings

The hardest arithmetic to master is that which enables us to count our blessings.
-Eric Hoffer-


Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us all be thankful.
-Buddha-

New Game In Town

I just discovered this new website and I am already addicted to it. Play and feed hungry people

It's called Free Rice. It's a vocabulary game. For each right answer that you give, you get to give 10 grains of rice for the hungry of the world.

I just gave 5000 grains this morning and learned tons of new words.

It's fun, it's addictive, why don't you try it out for yourself?
