I agree that having ambitions is what gives us momentum in life and, as I've read somewhere, also increases longevity.
But I have also noticed that sometimes we are so obsessed with ambitions and goals that we don't spend time to enjoy what we already have. Every time, we try to achieve our goals, after we achieved it we immediately move to the next goal, and it goes on and on. Never do we stop to enjoy what we have achieved so far. Therefore, we are always filled with ambitions and fear of failure.
So the missing element for some people I think is "Enjoying what we have"

It's a good topic,
I like hard copy books more than electronic ones, not because of note taking, but because of eye strain I get when reading ebooks. However, when reading pdf books, you can still add notes and highlight important parts. I do it a lot and it works out for me.

Etrusca, Homeschooling is legal in many countries as Blue2 pointed out. In my country (Iran), though not common, it's legal as far as homeschooled children can pass the required tests by National Educational Org.
However, my own opinion is that homeschooling may risk social development of kids.

etrusca wrote:Can you explain me what homeschooling is, please?
Homeschooling is the education of children at home, rather than sending them to public or private schools.

Ms. Chrome, I recommend you study literature and great books, such as "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho.

Off course it's easier to be patient than to be in such countries. However, with the existing internet service, it's easy for countries to reduce paper work and do the civil service through making efficient internet websites. Modern countries, at least, should go through this way, instead of having paperwork.

I think it's more depend on the users. these sites are just social environments that make communication easy. some may use them to flee from loneliness, or to find new friends, to avoid talking directly,...
To me, these sites help stay in touch with friends, sometimes I prefer leaving a message for my friends on facebook rather than giving them a call, just because I don't want to disturb them.
But care must be taken that communication through these sites should not replace sporadic phoning, meeting and direct communications with friends.
