#70217 - World Peace - now there's a project! Responding to: ???'s previous message |
Since we're talking about brotherly love - how about world peace! From what I've learnt, Mohammed was known to bring together the warring tribes and to provide a neutral town for trading and problem resolution. Note that trade was important back in the time of Mohammed and is still quite important today. This brings us to the value of ideas - yes they do have value that can be traded. Remember love does not equal money - you cannot buy love nor can you trade it for money. Some may argue. Also the argument that you are in a different country does not hold water- a lot of the equipment I design ends up in the middle east and other places in the world - should I give you my ideas that would allow you to compete directly? In the middle east there's lots of oil - so find out what the oil people need and you'll find some ideas there. Also note the oil people have big purses! The other side is that there is not enough fresh water - think of a device that can add value here. If you're feeling philanthropic, how about something that can assist with the spread of your religion? You may consider that worthy. Find out what people require and what they're prepared to pay for a solution - there's your income. |
