One of the nicest things someone has ever done to me is stand up for me when i was at a loss fr words while giving a presentation in class during my sophomore year. I was a bit nervous, and unsteady, yet i had a turn to present to my class the issue on global arming and i was talking about a few facts when someone asked me a question during my presentation that was debatable. I had just froze and i felt embarrassed and then one of my friends spoke out and contested with a comment, they related to what i was saying and it made my afternoon that day. I felt like i had been saved from that humiliating situation.

If I received $10,000, I would keep one-third of it for a rainy day, and invest the other two thirds, one third going into slowly growing but steady investments, the other investing the other third between rapidly growing stocks.

If you gave me $10,000, I would immediately begin plotting on how to use it most effectively to increase my funds a millionfold, and depending on how much effort I put into executing my plan, either succeed at multiplying my amount of money, or fail due to lack of motivation to properly execute my plan.
