WHAT WAS IT? What single event will happen, or has already happened, this day which will change the course of Mankind for all time?
Or, if that's too big an order for you, what about an event or, perhaps, a series of actions - now in progress which will be marked important to you, your career or your family?
Fortunately, we do not know and cannot really guess at what might be. Such knowledge as that would take the strange element of mystery of our lives. The zest for living is based on a type of curiosity also known as education. As we acquire such knowledge we also take on new responsibilities needed to properly care for of new awareness and to manage it to best advantage.
The world in which such an event will take place is constantly changing, as well, and that makes it a difficult platform on which we must work out our individual lot. Nature's changes are a fantastic group within themselves. Hurricane Kristina and associated storms were and example of the way in which the Nature can disrupt man's plans and show him as the weakling he is and will continue to be. Meeting her challenges also shows mankind how one can profit by making intelligent use of such encounters as they occur.
Were you, too, among those of us who were disappointed in network television's recent attemptg to create inventors and invention. Money - even the generous amount kicked around so prominently on the recent series is not the proper key to finding inventors and in inventions. Too often, a person in that money mode comes up with and idea which will please those persons handing out the wealth, rather than to try to meet the actual needs of people who actually need for a innovative product or system.
If the TV producers have any funds left, could we have a try a reversed format next time? Use a major new story...show actual needs illustrated and ask for viewers top come up with a gizmo, gadget or system to meet that need.
