Last Lecture

A last lecture is an interesting concept. I think the key to what I find to be important comes down to doing what really makes you happy. What gives your life purpose? This can concept can vary from person to person but I think that being self-aware and understanding your environment is a big key in overcoming the mundane lifestyle that we all can allow to take place. I think a huge way to better understand yourself is to ask yourself “why” when doing anything. What is the purpose of doing whatever it is that you do? Why do we go to work or study so hard in school? These actions require direction and purpose for them to become meaningful. The same is with life in that it needs direction and understanding. I think that after awhile the purpose of things tend to blur with other things. I have seen people allow for their lives to not amount to much because they lack direction but also I have seen people lose their purpose of what gives their lives meaning while being successful but being completely miserable. I think that balance is the key. I think that when we dictate our priorities to our souls that we then become what we wish to achieve.  My dreams are many but all are significant in order to achieve one another. I will only pick one dream to share that is the main focus that also is the most improbable. I love riddles and puzzles or anything to test the human mind to see if one can solve something. I feel that challenges are the reason I exist. What good would life be worth living if there was nothing to test or push our limits? I love to think and struggle in order to find a solution. Life would be so boring if we just sat around all day eating grapes off the vines. The ultimate question, I feel, that mankind has yet to answer is "How can we create unlimited energy"? Perpetual energy to be exact. This question has been asked thousands of years ago and still has yet to be answered. Up till now this question is considered impossible because of the laws of thermodynamics that states energy is lost in any form or resistance. But mankind has made huge strides in technology and inventions in just the past 10 years let alone past 1000! Did you know that scuba diving was only invented in 1943? We had airplanes before we have scuba tanks. The first nuclear reactor was invented in 1942! Can you imagine what some of the greatest mind in the history of the human race could do with this technology? My goal is to create a better way to obtain energy. Even if I fall short of reaching my ultimate goal of solving perpetual energy, I can hopefully pave the path for someone else to do so.
