1. Although money can't solve all the problems, it can take care of some important ones; so that you can concentrate on the rest.

My parents' dream
Like Randy Pausch, I also think I have won the parent lottery.
As the new year is approaching, I was thinking about my new year's resolutions and about my dreams about my life. Suddenly, this thought struck my mind. What were my parents' dream?
The way it looks like to me right now is their dream was how can the help us make our dream true!

Priorities
It's an irony how our priorities change.
Things that matter most to us today, persons those we desire most be be with, fades away from our mind tomorrow. Is this simply "familiarity" breeding "contempt" or some more complex arrangement inside our mind? The toys that I always wanted to have as a child, does not get a fraction of my attention anymore. The promises I made to old friends once, seems like I don't feel like keeping them anymore. Instead, I am making new promises to new friends.
It seems like there is nothing absolute in our priority list; at least in my list. And it's so sad. Because, I am running after something and then realizing this should not be my priority. And the worst case scenario is when I got the thing check off from my list and then realize that it should not have been in the list at the first place.
My priority list defines myself, defines my list. And this become a ever-changing vague list, then what is the meaning of the life I am leading?
I need to find answer to this or at least a better defined priority list. Time for soul-searching!

Optimality Conditions
Till this day of my life, I kind of bragged about not to take the optimal path. For me, it was "Win it" or "Lose it all!". Even though, I lost most of the times than winning, I preferred things to be that way. I looked with my pity eyes at the friends and family, who chose the optimal path for life.
But, now I think, I need a major revision on that thought process. There is no shame is choosing the optimal path. In fact, I now believe, it's the way nature chose for itself.
