    if you have something really seriously big and useful to engage this world and change this world for good, but are economically constrained and vc's are not a solution.which of these options would be an appropriate course of action.what would you do? _______________________ 1)Ask for donations 2)wait for things to happen on their own. 3)Try and convince a community to start the sparks by using the solutions - citing that their noble efforts would do good to the world. 4)Try and convince a community to start the sparks by using the solutions - citing that the merits of the solution would do good to the world. 5)Try and convince a community to invest and promise a good payback on success. 6)Try and Convince a community to do their bit to spread the word through their personal social media accounts. 7)Convince a community to collaborate and work part time with you - just like the open source guys do. 8)Try and gather a realworld meetup with the community members to show them how they could change the world in front of their own eyes.(would guys be willing to travel to one destination on a short trip ?) ________________________________

      1. Put on your Superman costume and talk direct to the World Leaders

      Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together. Manfred R. Bihy: "Looks as if OP is learning resistant."

          that's not an option because - world world leaders are mostly unreachable and I doubt they would want to do anything about it.(If you are pretty comfortable - would you ever want the world to change ??)

                Oh it's positive, positive in a way that most people who *succeed* in life, don't talk about it all the time, they just get on with it.

                                        if you have something really seriously big and useful to engage this world and change this world for good, but are economically constrained and vc's are not a solution.which of these options would be an appropriate course of action.what would you do? _______________________ 1)Ask for donations 2)wait for things to happen on their own. 3)Try and convince a community to start the sparks by using the solutions - citing that their noble efforts would do good to the world. 4)Try and convince a community to start the sparks by using the solutions - citing that the merits of the solution would do good to the world. 5)Try and convince a community to invest and promise a good payback on success. 6)Try and Convince a community to do their bit to spread the word through their personal social media accounts. 7)Convince a community to collaborate and work part time with you - just like the open source guys do. 8)Try and gather a realworld meetup with the community members to show them how they could change the world in front of their own eyes.(would guys be willing to travel to one destination on a short trip ?) ________________________________

                                        A) Draw up a good business plan and ask the bank for a loan. B) Draw up a good business plan and confront investers with your idea.

                                          If business plans worked - there would be no term called recession in this world.-Nothing works according to plan.If businesses could plan , there would be no dearth of money in this world.I made a point that vc's and bankers are not an option. That's why instead of High level programing language stuff like vc's and bankers ,i am trying to work my way through low level programing languges. I might be looking for that One CP guy ,who's coming forward to say - lets work on it !
