Loser?

Currently i'm reading a book called 'The know-it-all' by A.J.Jacobs, Its about a 30 something guy who suddenly realizes that he's become dumber than he could imagine and decides to read the Brittainica right from a-z.

Well, the part that got me intrigued was the small article about Horace Mann who by the way was an American education reformer. In his last speech to a bunch of graduates he said "be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity,"...hmm...now that's something to think about...

I'm 23, still a huge liability for my parents, yet to graduate and approaching quarter-life-crisis!
What will I be able to do that would actually bring some form of victory for humanity?

Then i asked myself, how many people out of the 6 billion or so that pollute err..i meant populate the world have actually thought of winning something (besides the lottery) for humanity?

Well, i started thinking of the possible reasons why some of us couldn't actually contribute:

a) Time- given the average life span of humans today (which is 65-70),we have more than enough time but wait...i forgot to subtract the time wasted in traffic jams,showers,corporate bull crap meetings,traffic jams,surfing the net (i'm part of this time wasting community), traffic jams,watching reality TV ETC.

b)Opportunity- common fallacy, it requires money (since 2% of the population controls 98% of the wealth and 98% of the population HAS to share 2% of the wealth).....the way i see it, this just requires determination and a little ingenuity.

c)Literacy- *See-Opportunity*

Now that i've been able to justify that there's NO reason why i shouldn't/CAN'T contribute, i shall go ponder upon what kind of contribution i'm capable of!!!

In short, i'm really wondering how i'm going to pull this off...

Any one willing to give me ideas?
