Образование. Стану более ясно, красиво и ёмко формулировать свои мысли.

Деньги. Финансово я стану менее зависим от даты получения зарплаты. Хочешь деньги здесь сейчас? Иди и заработай!

Саморазвитие. Хобби. Новая ветвь развития, на которое можно с пользой тратить ресурсы и ремесло, которое приведёт новых знакомых

Память. Возможность оставить свой след в истории, пусть даже мизерный.

Свобода. Буду счастливее, не буду задумываться о экономии. Удовлетворён собой и тем, что я могу зарабатывать с помощью ноутбука, находясь в любом месте земли. Счастье в понимании, что заработал сам.

Гордость. Буду гордится, что поборол прокорстинацию и освоил новую профессию. Доказательство того что-то деградирую и развиваюсь как личность и специалист.

В случае наступления прогресса важно не начать гордиться собой, а вспомнить ради чего вы всё затеяли в первую очередь.

If you believe you're a nation, then I accept you as a nation.

I'm really a product of an excellent school system and supportive parents. My high school band director gave me recordings of Louis Armstrong, Kenny Ball, and contemporaries like Nicholas Payton.

My family is not only attractive - I can say that because I'm paterfamilias - but they're really smart, and they're very, very compassionate.

My belief in God is that God wants you. God wants you to believe in him, or it, whatever you would call it.

When you go through a traumatic event, there's a lot of shame that comes with that. A lot of loss of self-esteem. That can become debilitating.

Science is what we understand well enough to explain to a computer. Art is everything else we do.

I don't really want to be the centre of attention.

Imperfection clings to a person, and if they wait till they are brushed off entirely, they would spin for ever on their axis, advancing nowhere.

Not only does investing in your infrastructure provide very good construction jobs, at the end of the project, you have something.

When we say 'democracy' we have to mean what we say.

If you're making a social call, don't call past 8 P.M. The evening is a time when people need a respite from their work - a time to unwind, uninterrupted.

We have groups that do that, but I can't rap with the mentality of an 18 year old when I'm in my 30's.

Every day of our lives, we are on the verge of making those slight changes that would make all the difference.
