Hey read this blog if you want to find out how to slow down time?!?
Some people say to live life to the fullest, by doing as much as possible in the small amount of time we have in a life. People in today's world are involved in a great many activities that usually take up most of their time. Usually these activities are work, sports, or other events, but they both leave people with little free time to truly enjoy their lives. In fact, the way many people live their lives can be described by Benjamin Franklin's quote 'Time is Money'. My belief is that to truly enjoy life and make the best use of our time, we must sometimes take a break from our work, whether that is sports or a job. Doing this will allow you to enjoy what you do a daily basis much more. I'm not saying take a week off or take a vacation, but have a day where you do something that doesn't involve work or strenuous activity and relax. You will also notice your day go by slower while you are relaxed opposed to while working, where we often get flustered about not enough time to finish things. During the week you will also have something to look forward to if you set aside a day to relax. So take a day to read a book, go to the mall or blog on your computer, it will help make good use of your time and make your week much better.

Money, both Enlightener and Corruptor
Money can do and be many things to people. It can inspire, motivate, constrain, and even corrupt any given individual. Some, like the writer/philosopher Ayn Rand have even symbolized the pursuit of money and economic sucess as a noble cause, but in reality every individual's economic positions are based on a large number of varying factors, meaning some people are at a disadvantage to begin with while others have a distince advantage. These starting factors in someone's life can greatly effect the outcome of their future income, unless the indivdual themself is able to outperform their parents ecnomically.
Although I have put in theory the basic absumption that your future income is greatly affected by your parents, in realty this is subject to change. For example, someone who has wealthy parents may not feel the need to aquire a job that pays well, and may choose a career that they are acutally interested in doing even though they will never make as much as their parents, but someone who is from a faimily with little wealth might pick a high-paying job out of necessity if they have to pay off huge student loans. I can ramble on and on about this bu the bottom line is that your parents wealth is a large influence toward your fututre wealth.
