thank good evening we're going to speak tonight about different topics but mainly I would like to raise the point something to think about we have six point four people six point four billion people in a world and if we review from different culture different countries we will find that if we ask each one of them what is the purpose of life why what are you doing here or why we were created for give us a reason why that why do we live for nobody knows nobody knows everybody will answer more or less the same questions to do business to make money to get married to have children to try to stay healthy to enjoy movies for words to sleep all day whatever that's basically what we're going to be 10 or 20 ideas and everybody understand and if we're trying to be honest with ourselves they all know that that's not the purpose of life I don't believe for a minute that a person really think that the purpose of life is just to leave what the purpose of life is just to make money or the purpose of life just to stay healthy why because if we analyze one by one we will see that the answer is very foolish let's go just for the argument's sake one by one first most people would answer to be successful financially to make it the American dream I want to make hundreds of millions I want to be you know a real big shot to have controlled fame glory
