Money begets money. If you don’t have that, you wait around to be hired by somebody at the mercy of others. If you have that money in your hand, you desperately try to make the best use of it and move ahead. And that’s generating income for yourself Picture Quote #1

While technology is important, it’s what we do with it that truly matters Picture Quote #1

To overcome poverty and the flaws of the economic crisis in our society, we need to envision our social life.
