I think paying high gas price is a good thing. When people are paying high gas price for transportation, they tend to drive less. New eco-friendly technologies are likely to be developing. We cannot live in a world of fossil fuel because it is heating the planet, and it is bad for our health because it pollute the air. The reason that the United States doesn’t agree to cut emission by 50 percent is that it wants to protect it economy. I don’t think it is the right way to protect jobs or the economy.

The Failure To Act
I don’t understand why Congress doesn’t plan to cut emission by 50 percent like Japan? I believe that having a high gas price is good because it will lead to new eco-friendly energy. I don’t think it is right to have high food price. I think that people have suffered enough.

The Difficulty Of Finding Work
When people are losing job or can’t find any work, it will be very hard for low-income family to pay for electricity, food, water, and transportation. The government must step in to do everything it can to prevent low-income family from being homeless. How will low-income family feed their children if they don’t have any job? How will they pay their utilities bills if there’s no work? Low-income family are suffering the most and yet the government are sending only $600 check for each person. How long will a $600 check last for family in a time of needs?

Final Thought
What can you do to help prevent global warming? I switched to compact fluorescent light bulb to save energy. I switch to low-flow shower head to save water. I no longer buy desktop because it uses more energy than laptop. I no longer drive a truck, I now drive Honda Accord because it get better miles. I wash my cloth using cold water. What part are you doing to help fight global warming?

I believe that how successful you want to be depends solely on the attitude. I know it may sound crazy but please hear me out. I know that I can make more money in investing. Lately, my portfolios have been hit hard by the credit crunch. I lost more than 1700 dollars. Do I feel sad about it not really? I always like to bet big. I have to believe in myself in order to make more money.

Investing Strategies
Let not talk about what skill or discipline you should use. I don’t think that investing is hard but what I think is hard is your discipline. If you are very well discipline then I am sure that you can make a lot of money. You don’t need to know how the market is doing every day but you must have complete faith in yourself. Mistake will always be made and that what we are here for. We are here to learn in this world. Even though I lost 1700 dollars in my retirement account but I am still making 1375 gain in Visa.

There’re no senses living day by day from past regret. Sure, I could have avoided buying timeshare, or avoided being in a car crashed. When I listen to people telling me about the past mistakes they done, I feel that they are still living with regret. They just give up on the present and don’t want to move forward because they missed their chances.

Final Thought
I think that being focus and loving what you do is the best formula for success. Success can be learns but being focus and loving what you do can’t. I see that now as I began to realize what it is mean to live in this world.

The simple things that everyone can do to fight emission and save the planet is to buy laptop. The reasons for that is Laptop uses less energy than Desktop. Laptop are also Earth friendly because technology have made new development to save the planet. Don’t buy a 17 inch laptop unless you really need it because the bigger the screen the more energy it uses.

In the next 10 years from now, I see Disk Hard Drive will be no longer uses because Flash Hard Drive will replace it. These are the following developments the will make Laptop more Earth friendly.

Flash Hard Drive

Flash Hard Drive uses less energy because there’s no moving part inside. The drive are faster also because there’s no fiction. Solid States Disk (SSD) is the new thing that going to replace the slow disk spinning hard drive that we have today.

LED backlight

LED backlight probably would be the next big things to save Earth. LED backlight can save as much as 26 percent of energy compare to CCFL (cold cathode fluorescent tube) backlight.

Intel Duo Core 2

The third big thing is that Intel in getting more Earth friendly than ever. The new processor is built using 45 nm technology. The chip have two mini CPU inside to make multi-applications run faster (no more hour glass thank goodness). The processor only uses 35 watts of energy for laptop and 65 watts for desktop. I bought Intel and made some money from it but not very much because it can’t grow anymore.
