When I was young and living in the US I asked my father something. If he could take me to some place with a very tall ceiling.

We went outside and got on the train and he took me to a museum and looked around including upwards.

After about 20 minutes I told him "It's not bad but I can think of something better." As we had smartphones which I think are a major improvement I looked up the location of the nearest Church and surprisingly there was one nearby.

We went inside and stood near the middle.

I told him I want him to do something. "Look up at the large tall half-sphere dome." He looked up and then looked at me and smiled.

For some reason I think when we are in a place with a very tall ceiling it has an effect when you look up that boosts your confidence. You see a large space between you and the ceiling and feel like everyone can hear you. We lit candles and sat and left shortly after.

The last thing I told him is that even though it has this effect we should remember to look down most of the time.

I've written lots of memories here. Sometimes I get discouraged so I delete some of them.

When I was young before arriving in the US I had asked my father what the most important thing in life is. He replied in Bulgarian language "To have a plan."

I overheard my parents speaking about my discussion with him. My mother replied "Some people don't have a plan even in their 30s."

I remember when my father and I decided to purchase groceries. I noticed a new product called ranch dressing. I asked my father why you would put this in a salad... it's like a sauce.. who would actually buy this?

He said that the reason people buy it is because when you apply dressing to a salad with many different veggies in it -the Ranch Dressing makes your digestive system take in more vitamins and nutrients from the food that you eat (It only works with vegetables.)

His favorite was hidden valley ranch crispy by the way. I wanted to write this memory from my youth in memory of him.

When I was young my father and I spoke. He only said one thing. "If you don't use your talent you lose your talent."

It made sense to me.

When I was young I was walking outside nearby by myself and I noticed a [vending] machine the made coffee on the street. I asked a person if the cups should be larger while not containing too much caffiene. He asked me why. "Toplina" [Warmth.] (This was during winter in Bulgaria.)

The next thing I asked him is: How much energy does it take to boil a bit more water anyway?

And I was right. Until adding a certain amount of water to a pan for example which me and my mother tried by boiling water and timing it afterward there is a peak and then a fall (meaning that the time gets exponentially longer to boil the water.)

So you see. Aside from all the business reasons. Winter and I were a small part of the reason for this. [In Bulgaria]

Post Scriptum:

The last thing I told my mother is: Sugar is small. Ground instant coffee is small. The vending machine doesn't have water in it: It comes through a pipe in the ground. The only thing we would have to change is replace milk with something that takes up less space.. Cream.

Post Post Scriptum: The last and final thing I asked her is if the larger portion would prevent the ingredients from spoiling. She replied "Coffee and sugar can't spoil."

When I was in Bulgaria my father and I spoke a year before I had my concept. I had asked how a pen is used to write.

He told me that it moves. The next thing I asked him was how a train carries people.. he said the same thing.

I thought to myself for a moment that we're all intelligent. Yet the things we create are simple. It's when we apply our education towards making a physical product that our minds show.

It was a very loose example. To connect movement of one thing to another. That everything is theorized from principles [or connecting topics] and the people who make it into something we can see or hold are the ones that are most intelligent. [Meaning Educated.]

So you see. My apologies to bring this up again. "Technology which you can use to look at a woman's body by moving your eyes skipping in between to remove lust." Think of this conversation based on the verbs or since I'm really not in that age group anymore whatever it's called.

Someone could even make little scraps of paper and put them in hats. Then combine things from them and create new stuff.

Maybe we could even make a computer program to list it for us though I'd imagine the person reading the single sentences would go through a lot of annoyance sorting them out.

This was just my childhood thought. I was hopeful. He told me "the world doesn't work this way" but hey you never know.

I think we all have some grey matter. There is no person whom is more or less intelligent than another.

I thought I would write this memory into a motivating speech for you.

Post Scriptum:

One of the most expensive cars there are. Two engines.

Post Post Scriptum: In reality: This car was ingenious though the same thing could be made by combining a topic with a number.

Yet there is only one way that the car could be made into a product. Extremely intelligent car engineers that would do the math needed for two engines to work together. How far could it go? Three engines? Four engines? Five engines? Alternatively: Multiple small lightweight engines that each work less so the car lasts longer before they expire. It seems ridiculous but I can't think of another example at the moment.

Coincidentally: Because an idea can't be copyrighted. The same people who thought up that a car could have two engines logically were the same people that physically designed those engines.

P.P.P.S. The only way I could imagine this though I can't actually design a car that way. Lightweight engines.. lightweight car. You see? It works. Repetition is a part of it.

We saved the general discussion forums! (Cross your fingers everyone.)

When I was in High School and I walked through the street I noticed something wonderful about the way our bodies are made.

I would breathe in through my nose and breathe out which is mundane yet it's the way I did it that calmed me.

Some people have written about breathing in different ways as a form of meditation yet even regular breathing can be turned into that. When we breathe we do it subconsciously. Even so it's possible for a person to be conscious about their breath if they don't have a lot on their mind and it removes your thoughts about problems. While you breathe in you think to yourself "I'm breathing in. [Physically[" While you breathe out you think "I'm breathing out. [Physically]" I had to write it specifically this way because if you were to write the thought with words "I'm taking a breathe in and out" that you start thinking about numbers and math. It should be done as a thought that every breathe is the same during regular breathing that you breathe in and out. I don't really know how to explain it but it helped me deal with problems caused by other people that I'm not responsible for. It even helped me lower physical pain after it passed in the body and went in the brain as a form of healing the brain meaning preventing it from becoming weaker. It doesn't remove a problem and regardless of that you think less about the problem for a while and that helps you solve the problem later. Sometimes people feel that way when they're upset. They focus on their breath. This is entirely different. During the cold seasons and winter it helped me greatly. Not so much during summer.

Post Scriptum: After a sip of coffee the best way I can explain it is: "I'm breathing in [physically] and then "I'm breathing out [physically] and each time after.. the same words and the word "Again" "I'm breathing in [physically] again." "I'm breathing out [physically] again." And you keep doing that. Then I opened the door to my apartment and met my parents. Laid down for a bit and did homework and listened to music.

Post Post Scriptum: Sometimes while I did this I added another thought. That I'm doing it while [physically] walking as the steps pass on the sidewalk. It's very difficult to explain. It may be very easy to explain. I'm not really sure which.

Post Post Post Scriptum: There was an ultimate purpose behind this which I felt as I did it every day during the walk to school and back and all the other places that I've walked to that will bring joy to everyone. "I'm happy that I'm alive and I want to live long."

Before I came to the US while I was young I spoke with a man who walk in our apartment whom was friends with my father. I only said one thing. "Mislish li che polucia vodi do bednota?" [Do you think that pollution leads to poverty?]

Unfortunately: This is true.

Maslow wrote a hierarchy. Yet during that time the earth was cleaner so he may have felt he did not need to write the most basic thing we need for our survival. Clean air.

There are ways to make things better. There's two types of heating which I only know how to say in Bulgarian language. I'm not sure which one is which however with one of them: Air goes through machinery and becomes hot. It makes people stuffy when breathing it in. The other is not as popular however it heats a room in a way that you feel better while staying in it.

It uses a bit more electricity or fuel; steam yet many years ago people would ventilate while using heating because it removed air. I think it's wasteful. When I was a teenager I went to a dentist who's name will not be written for privacy reasons and we spoke. Later on she had the better version of a heater, not electric installed in the waiting room. It felt much better during my appointment. It was fairly small and short but it was like the little engine that could.

P.S. In Maslow's hierarchy he does in fact say we need air yet does not discuss air quality. He may have written it in a subtle way. I really don't know.

Post Post Scriptum: During my appointment I spoke with my mother in Bulgarian language about the heater. There was another person in the room probably from Europe because he understood the words partially. Later on when I tried to select her as my dentist under a different insurance the office told me that she's full.

Post Post Post Scriptum: As I explained it I told her that sometimes words in one langauge when I try to turn them into an english word may be way off and that all I know from my father is that with one type of heating air goes through something and becomes hot. And the other type is through touch. The last words I said to her were: "Figure it out."

Post Post Post Post Scriptum: The last and final thing I want to say is that reloading my posts four times in a row is annoying and I apologize yet I should explain the reason for recommending this heater to my dentist. She's a dentist and people have to keep their mouth open while breathing through their nose during dental work done. If they don't have enough oxygen while waiting they may try to breathe through their mouth because they don't have enough air. And their mouth has fluids and debris in it so if she uses this heater she may have more clients and might even be able to make more money through it. A teenager does not have much experience in the world but similar to a younger person we have a very precise way of thinking.
