I think the main goal of my life is to leave a better place for my children and there children. Now by place I don&#8217;t mean house, I mean planet. And by planet I don&#8217;t mean greener grass or more trees, although those would be useful. I mean the state of mind of people, the way we perceive each other and the planet we live on.<\/p>\n<p>I guess if I could do anything I would help re-educate the people of the planet to see what there full potential is, so that we as a species can stop killing each other and this beautiful place we call home, earth. Now even thought I do have restrictions, I will still work towards making this a reality. I remember when I was about thirteen and at school, thinking that humanity would be so more advanced if we didn&#8217;t have to worry about money. Science would progress so much faster and life would be so much easier. Many years later I found another person that had the same thought, way before me. His name is Jacque Fresco, and he is the founder of The Venus Project.<\/p>\n<p>They propose a way that we can work towards exactly what I am talking about. Changing the world, but to do that we need to change the people.

Perhaps that&#8217;s why I want to live to be one hundred and fifty years old. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for your questions, I love answering them. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Stay Awesome.<\/p>\n<p>Positively, T Neil van Rooyen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another hard question to answer, but here we go. \ud83d\ude42 Raj asked this question: If you could do anything in the world, no restrictions, what would it be?
