10,000,000 $ to spend

Who hasn’t thought about it, that’s one of the most common dreams for human being. Starting with the employee who wakes early every morning just to go and attend at his slaving job and ending with the manager of a company, that only wants to spend some more time with his family. Everyone has his personal reason to deserve luck.

So if I had the opportunity of winning 10 $ million I won’t do as most of the fortunate people. Money just seems to burn in their hands, they only know how to expend it, without realizing that in 2, 5 or probably 10 years they’d have nothing else to spend. It’s really easy getting used to a luxury lifestyle but really difficult to life without all that hedonism and attentions once you’ve received them.

The first thing I’d do is investing the 70% of my money in a bank with a high annual profit, and I’d invest the 50% of this yearly profit again. The other 50% would be part of my annual incoming. The other 3 millions would be distributed in the following way: 1 million in a short period deposit, because every man needs a million to spend. Then I’d use the other 2 millions to buy the car I always wanted, an Aston Martin DB9, I’d also buy some properties at these deflated prices, one in my city and the other one in a good ski resort in Europe. The rest of the money would be to keep going with my life with more enjoyment. And if for any case I didn’t feel comfortable with my actual job, I’d try to create my own business, but what I’d never do is just stop working, you always have to keep generating money.

Education System

Nowadays our educational system needs a radical change. Liberal schools, which had become very famous recently, aren’t in favor of discipline and giving our kids and teenagers so many freedom allows them to lie around the whole day.
My proposition consists in creating a public education system where everybody could receive a different education according to his aptitudes. I’d create four different levels, divided by the motivation and aptitudes the student has. The better students could continue improving almost more quickly than the other groups, this fact would also create competition between the students. Everyone would try to do his best, trying to be promoted and not being relegated. The ones, who really deserve to learn, would have more chances to succeed in the future. Learning is a process you do, not a process that is done for you, teachers can only motivate to do it.
Uniforms would be obligatory and piercing’s wouldn’t be allowed, this would make our students look smarter. The kids will be taught good manners ( how to eat on the table, sitting correctly in their seats,…), they’d learn to respect the others human beings, they’d learn four different languages English, Spanish, German and French and they’ll learn the art of oratory.
Discipline, good manners and elegance would define perfectly the ideals of the school.
