I would like to be able to open free school for talented kids. Place were talent not money is important and kids all age and background can learn to become better.

I would like to do that too, as I think the current school system in this country only helps kids of low ability imporve, they don't help the high achievers.

Our legacy, we have changed the world for the better. I have raised a kid, who is an honorable, hardworking, sensitive caring young man. That is the best thing a person can hope to do.

For me it would be having tried not to hurt people..to have caused the minimum amount of damage every where and to have tried my best to be positive and contribute some happiness to those around me.

Hard to tell.It could be love for some.Some might be looking for mental peace.Some might search for happiness and some just want to have a good day.If I had to select just one then I would say making as many people happy as you can by helping them.When you do something good for someone ,you too feel good about yourself.So,probably winning more friends than you can count is one thing every person should look to achieve before going into oblivion.

Different ppl comes different dreams. And I think most important to achieve is to Achieve your DREAMS.What dreams? Depends...get married and have children, success in business, and so on... Some ppl said 'Life is unfair' -- wrong. LIFE is complicated.

i would say our personal happiness, knowing that you have lived your life to the fullest and have done things which you thought you could never do.loving and acceptance of myself is the most important thing for me because without it everything would be meaningless.

The only thing that I want out of my life is happiness. I don't have many things that I want out of life, I just want to feel happy because I've been going through a lot of depression throughout my life.

I think it is very important that we get to realize our fullest potential as persons. That's why we want to send our kids to good schools and give them the best that we could so that they would become whatever they want to be. It's not the money but it's the realization of ones potentials and being able to fulfill our unique purposes here in this world.
