"Before: The moment the kids wake up, they go outside to play with the neighbors and go home before noon looking and smelling filthy - wearing a cheap scent that strongly reminds you of sweat, because yes it is, sweat. Sometimes they find themselves owning an inexpensive black gold necklace composed of natural materials - sweat and dust - after hours of playing outside and draw out loud scolding from their moms even if they already have bruises on their hands and knees they got probably from a fist fight with the other faction of the neighborhood.

Now: You don't see them in the streets. The moment they wake up, they go straight to their desktops (or their parents' laptops) and enters into a VIRTUAL world. You don't even get to smell the cheap scent of sweat because they stay inside their house with their handheld devices - iPhone, iPad, Nintendo DSI, and PSP to name a few. They are more preoccupied with computer games that eats up their time that should be spent socializing with the neighbors and experiencing things that their parents, their parents' parents and their fore-parents have done."

What Women Love

8 Things Science Says Women Love  -NICHOLAS PELL Women’s magazines don’t help—they just cover what women think they want. But maybe science can. Here's a list of qualities and behaviors that make girls go ga-ga. And no, it doesn’t include “sense of humor.” 1.

Scientists aren’t really sure why smiles are such a turn-off among the double-X-chromosomal set, but they think it has something to do with our primate ancestry.  2. Average Looks -  Evolution, while causing women to get hotter and hotter, is putting the breaks on male attractiveness.they want all eyes on them when they walk into the party.  3. Resembling Their Dads -  Apparently, characteristics of the opposite-gender parent are imprinted on the brain at an early age and never really leave you. This may partially explain why women are attracted to older guys.   4.

What if money was no object? (by Alan Watts)

Ask yourself. What would you do with your life if money was no object? An amazing lecture from the late Alan Watts. "You do that, and forget the money. Because if you say that getting the money is the most important thing, you will spend your life completely wasting your time. You’ll be doing things you don’t like doing in order to go on living that is to go on doing things you don’t like doing. Which is stupid! Better to have a short life that is full of what you like doing, than a long life spent in a miserable way. And after all if you do really like what you’re doing it doesn’t matter what it is, you can eventually become a master of it. The only way to become a master of something is to be really with it."
