Why is Bono back in the news?\n\nI don't think so.

Yes, anyone can do it - if you want it bad enough. Some of the coolest things I have taught myself required two things: a need for something and desire to figure it out. Good luck!

Yes, everybody can...\nThe thing is that they have not yet achieved the level needed for that to happen...

No, no one could ever take your place on earth...you will become history but you will be as unique as you are in their minds.

I completely agree with you.  I think it would be something that someone with extraordinary strength would be blessed to do...

Yes, Everything you, me or anyone does directly or indirectly effects someone or something in some way, either positively or negatively, thus changing someone or somethings life, feelings, or attitude for the better or for the worse. Therefore one should always try to think a little before they act upon any given situation.

I think it takes a special person to do that kind of work.  I don't know if I could but it sure is interesting.

To the world you may be only one person, but to one person, you may be the world.\n\nThat's something to think about.

Lord Krishna says every one can do that, if one can work on it sincerely. So, I guess you can do that if sincerely tried.

Yes most definitely , but keep in mind a big change is not necessary made out of a big action , sometimes just one simple hug in the right moment can influence someones live and change it , is a domino effect

Yes. I'm a perfectionist for one. I'd like to be able to accept simplicity in my own creativity for a change.

I believe that if one puts one's mind to it, one will be surprised at how much one can accomplish.  But "anything"?  Nope.  Surely someone in the last few centuries has turned his or her will to the reversal of the Earth's rotation, to minimal effect (except for a splitting headache).  But men have walked on the moon.\n\nAlmost anything is possible, but not all by the hand of individual humans.  Sometimes we need to gang up.

Positive thinking, I think, is a power that can make all the difference in our lives. (I found the website below...it's really excellent!!!)

One world, one government. Combine all of the worlds resources for the betterment of all.\n\nWorldwide education for all. A necessary requirement. Insure that empathy and morality are taught and we begin to see eachother as one people. Perhaps during this process, the human ego can eventually be less of a problem than it is now.\n\nGather the top thinkers and try and come up with a new system to motivate people that has nothing to do with the accumulation of wealth. This is a tough one that would require alot of planning and transitional work.\n\nLook into space as the next frontier. Education plays a big role in this, as well as the many other changes required for the systematic resocialization of an entire species.\n\nWork with our planet and begin to ease the many environmental issues that are already suffocating it.\n\nNothing I've written here is new but it does bear pointing out. It's also important to note, imho, that the biggest technological breakthrough we've seen in the last 100 years (after the radio) as been the internet because of it's ability to bring people even closer together. It is already the most powerful tool available to the individual and grants us all the ability to become leaders and productive players for positive change.\n\nIf such a person had the power today to begin moving us all in this direction, it would require several generations before the seeds of this labor began to bear fruit. Which is why the most powerful person in the world becomes but a bit player in the larger scheme of things.\n\nIt's easy to imagine that fundamental changes would be met with fear, anger and sometimes violence. The status quo usually works to deliver this. \n\nSo in the end, because of the walls already in place, the most powerful person on the planet can be expected to be the meekest among us... for he or she would know that change is a group effort.
