    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 ?) ________________________________

      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.

                                    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 !

                                        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 ?) ________________________________

                                        You forgot one: 9) Reexamine the state of your ego and whether what you have to say really is that important or earth changing.

                                        "If climate has not "tipped" in over 4 billion years it's not going to tip now due to mankind." Richard S. Lindzen, Atmospheric Physicist, IPCC "It does not matter who you are, or how smart you are, or what title you have, or how many of you here are, and certainly not how many papers your side has published, if your prediction is wrong then your hypothesis is wrong. Period." Professor Richard Feynman

                                          If you are really pointing that point at me - all i have to say is that I re-examin everyday mydelf everyday.I would be the last person to make some noise about nothing. _____________________ a quote from movie : Kate & Leopold -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stuart: It is no more crazy than a dog finding a rainbow. Dogs are colourblind, Gretchen. They don't see colour. Just like we don't see time. We can feel it, we can feel it passing, but we can't see it. It's just like a blur. It's like we're riding in a supersonic train and the world is just blowing by, but imagine if we could stop that train, eh, Gretchen? Imagine if we could stop that train, get out, look around, and see time for what it really is? A universe, a world, a thing as unimaginable as colour to a dog, and as real, as tangible as that chair you're sitting in. Now if we could see it like that, really look at it, then maybe we could see the flaws as well as the form. And that's it; it's that simple. That's all I discovered. I'm just a... a guy who saw a crack in a chair that no one else could see. I'm that dog who saw a rainbow, only none of the other dogs believed me. Gretchen: I believe you
