Some beings just have boundless energy. You will find most business people are such. My self though I am far from the same energy category. Never had an interest in playing sports, never joined any social club. never played cards or any other entertainment games. Could not waste my time reading fiction or books that were a product by someone's imagination. When I read it was history, Biographies of historically notable or successful people, Encyclopedias , Investopedia or business planning. Other things simply held no interest. Once a year till I retired if circumstances permitting. Usually took a week hunting trip in the autumn and a week earlier in the summer salt water fishing Those times were mainly to take the kids out to teach them Nature can be a lot of fun. Relaxation I played my guitars as it relaxes the mind. Impossible to worry and seriously play music at the same time. During my working years I was at work by 3 AM and would get home again around 6 PM. Retired 6 years ago when I was nearing 73 and turned it over to a son. Only because My wife of 44 years at the time (Our accountant) suffered congestive heart failure. Upon her recovery. I realized it was time to let her enjoy some of the fruits of what we had done. Otherwise I would still be at it. Having to retire and let go was my worst nightmare. Today I still up at 5 AM usually retire around 11 at night. I find it hard now to operate on much less than 6 hours sleep. From what I read Trump can still run on anything over 4. When you enjoy your business it is not work. It is a life style. It is your reason for being. It becomes all you want to do. It is your recreation. The Work part is forcing yourself to take time away for the sake and enjoyment of the rest of the family. Some people call it being a workaholic. That's not true. You do it because you love it. The challenge of accomplishment is the greatest driving force and energy booster. Money is the byproduct. For business people. Jim Pattison a Canadian Billionaire summed it up pretty well in his quote. " Life is abut a game. Money is the score board on how well you played it" St Paul's hospital is owned by the Catholic Church. But like all others hospitals in BC is operated on a non cost profit basis. To have truly affordable health care US states need to begin developing the same type program. It's a benefit to everyone. Rich and poor alike. vancouversun.com

am of two minds at the moment one says trump thrives on short-term confrontation where a tweet here and a legal jab there deals out the pain to the opposition the other notes that surely when faced with the futility of fighting against windmills in midst of a dark swamp, and getting nought done would wear down anyone however enthusiastic am veering towards the former, at the moment, until if ever close to the proverbial straw that can break the camel's back should say, the wall fails, and tax reform fails, and and and at some juncture it would not likely be the trump gives up or gives in, but he would simply do per possibly likely character closely associated with what we know so far about his traits, that being "get even" would very exciting in an entertaining way to see trump deals out punishment as only a potus can

“I’m older and higher status than you,” the teacher told the classroom. “You people want freedom, is that it? Liberals gave freedom to all kinds of subhumans." - themoscowtimes.com As Putin faces an increasing number of protests against Russian government corruption by hundreds of thousands of Russians across Russia supporting anti-corruption activist Alexei Navalny, Putin has responded with a wide-range of suppression. Some Putin supporters have called for the police to use snowplows to mechanically cut up protesting Russians and clear the streets of people calling for an end to Putin's Kleptocracy. One of Putin's most novel responses is a directive to school teachers to warn Russian students against the decadence of the liberal anti-corruption movement. It’s a trend in Russian schools that keeps growing. Teachers and lecturers take a break from the class curriculum to berate their students for supporting anti-corruption activist Alexei Navalny. Standing before a classroom, the room’s only adult tells a dozen or so teenagers that they’re ignorant, unpatriotic fools who don’t realize what horrors their civic activism will unleash upon the Russian Federation.And then one of the students films the incident on a mobile phone, and uploads it to the Internet, where the world gets a glimpse at the reactionary hostility Russian schoolchildren have faced, since the country’s collective consciousness recently realized that young people might be fed up with almost two decades of the same political regime. The latest footage comes from a high school in Tomsk — the same city where a local university professor recently criticized his students for attending last Sunday’s anti-corruption demonstrations. The Tomsk high school teacher, whose identity isn’t being reported, delivered an angry diatribe against “liberalism,” calling his students “fascists,” “national traitors,” and “Anglo Saxon lackeys.” “I’m older and higher status than you,” the teacher told the classroom. “You people want freedom, is that it? The liberals gave freedom to all kinds of subhumans. Liberalism is freedom for the subhuman who exists at an animal stage of development; it’s when you say some scum is equal to a highly spiritual person. That’s the danger of liberalism! People aren’t equal in their level of development! And when you give equal rights to a five-year-old, a 14-year-old, and an 80-year-old, it is a crime. Liberalism leads humanity to hell.” When students began responding sarcastically to the teacher’s insults, he escalated to threats, warning the classroom that liberals will face divine judgement. “Many people think like I do — many people,” the teacher explained. “But in this country they don’t say it.” In the audio shared online, you can hear a student speak up at this point, firing back, “So let’s speak the truth.”
