The question then is how this can be done.

Dantes Vices
Which of these Vices are you most guilty of?! (We all are of at least one:) And how can you turn it into a positive thing so you can use it to help others?
1. Pride or vanity — an excessive love of the self (Create Awards for all. We should all deserve and earn awards for our own individual skills)
2. Avarice (covetousness, greed) — a desire to possess more than one has need or use for (Philanthropy makes Avarice do good)
3. Lust — excessive sexual desire. (How? Society and family have made the sexes compete to impress each other. Make Virtues impressive.)
4. Wrath or anger — feelings of hatred, revenge or denial, as well as punitive desires outside of justice. (Channel negative energy into motivation to do something constructive.)
5. Gluttony — overindulgence in food, drink or intoxicants (Food/pudding as a reward for doing things. The less you have the more you enjoy so less is more.)
6. Envy or jealousy - resentment of others for their possessions (Envy motivates and reminds us that success is relative and not important)
7. Sloth or laziness; idleness and wastefulness of time and/or other allotted resources (Laziness is a mother of Invention)

Add your improvements/advice in the comments below.
1.
We all have an EGO inside our heads that keeps telling us that we know everything which leads to all kinds of problems (especially when growing up from thinking you can take over the world to realizing that you dont have to control anything but can enjoy life right now as it is and get even more joy by helping and looking after others:).
2.
The key is that it is impossible for anyone to know everything so we should assume that we always do not know everything (so approach all conversations / debate / arguments as a learning process where we share our knowledge and learn from others).
3.
This means that we are all living our lives not knowing everything so are all making mistakes all the time.
4.
So we should have compassion for everyone as we all know different amounts in different areas and no one is perfect.
5.
This then makes all our lives better as we go through life without competing but compassionately see the beauty and potential in every human mind (to do 'good') and so we enjoy every second of every day while feeling good when we help others achieve (they then help us back even more:).
6.
We then see that most of lifes struggles and competitions are a waste of time and space as all you need to do is be happy and help others be happy (rather than trying to win pointless competitions/events/games).
The key then is WHAT is the most USEFULL way to HELP EVERYONE?
A. Use the skills that you have
B. Share what you make to help the most people (free using Open Source & Creative Commons).
C. How can you help others help each others? Teach them? EVERY organization, charity, government or enterprise can be enhanced significantly with Creative Innovation all the time. The problem is that the people running the organisations are not aware of what they are missing out on by not being creative enough. HOW TO persuade/make any person/organisation change in a positive way?
Educate and empower them to help creative people survive and thrive while they creatively innovate the organisation in an open source creative commons not for profit way so the creativity can be shared to help everyone. How is it best to do this? Share free content with video on a blog and send to people you like via twitter? Share other content that you like reading with your friends so they learn? We all suffer information overload so maybe the key is to also STOP sharing useless information (as that wastes everyones time).
Human bodies have not evolved much over the last 000 years so our ancestors have had a lot of time to work out solutions to many human problems so the key is to look back and learn from their successes...
Below are 3 clips by the author of the Master Key To Riches book that can be downloaded free at http://www.WEBiversity.org
Micheal Jackson - Take A Look At Yourself And Then Make The Change
How about sharing the all knowledge that ENABLES anyone to be happy for free EFFECTIVELY (everyone can do this easily by sharing free online information that makes EVERYONE happy with their peer group &more)?... http://www.WEBiversity.org aims to do this and below are two great examples of free video content that can be shared with anyone free. Pass on this free information to any/everyone you know so http://www.youtube.com/user/psychetruth
http://fora.tv/2008/11/17/Raj_Persaud_How_to_be_Happy http://ow.ly/3nQFL
Books such as The Master Key To Riches help anyone to be happy and is free for anyone to download. Http://www.WEBiversity.org has the link to download it. You can also watch its Author on video at... The more we share good things the more we encourage each other to share even more good things so we all benefit (mainly by making ourselves feel good by doing the sharing). How best to enable EVERYONE to help EVERYONE easily and cheaply so we all benefit? Want free creative & innovative help to enhance any project / service? We can help & with CSR os nfp charity too. Yes it is true. We can enhance whatever you are doing by creatively innovating for free! If you like what we have done we ask that you donate as much as you can so that we can set up a FREE Creative & Innovation charity that enables Everyone to help Everyone. http://www.WEBiversity.org is the prototype. We previously did this for organisations such as.. http://www.oxfam.org.uk when setting up the Pioneering Fairtrade Coffee Shop Progreso
http://www.BBC.co.uk when creating and successfully pitching pioneering social media multiplatform productions. We won a BBC wide TV pitching competition when pitching to Peter Fincham (now ITV Studios Commissioner) and Peter Salmon (Now BBC Studios Commissioner) with a Multiplatform social media production that used the wisdom of crowds to enable anyone to help Charity that raises significant funds for Charity though voting. We also won an http://www.unltd.org.uk award for creating 50 free Trust Libraries across the uk using recycled books and empty shops as one example of how anyone/everyone can create their own public services. Here are a couple of quick and easy ways we can enhance your work... 1.
We would love to help enhance your work by using my UI Design and Social Media knowledge to help you enhance the Gaming features of the site to users are drawn to use it more and more for constructive outcomes.
2.
For example can your organisation run as a not for profit that donates/invests any surplus funds that you generate (in future profits & donations) into NEW INNOVATIVE solutions to human problems? This will enable you to grow to gain a cumulative mass with a USP that competitors can not steal so you can grow as big as Wikipedia/Mozilla while partnering with them. You and everyone involved will then get rich on performance pay knowing that you have created a self sustaining innovation & collaboration platform that saves lives. Video's of a presentation about Traidmark at http://www.TRAIDmark.org explain more. It would be great if this is possible as it would secure the success of your enterprise AND generate philanthropic funds that are invested in innovative solutions so save many lives. Help anyone make themselves happy instantly by reading the FREE BOOK and watching the video's at http://www.WEBiversity.org What is the best way that you help others?
We are looking for programmers to help everyone help everyone using innovative re-uses of open source software to do this. If interested contact @whymandesign
Do help create free entertaining education for all with http://www.WEBiversity.org http://www.TRUSTlibrary.org
http://www.TRAIDmark.org explains how anyone can enhance what they are doing for FREE by making themselves feel great by using surplus funds to donate to innovative charitable work. Do take the time to read and watch all the video's as it is proven by cooperatives that you can enhance your success AND innovate so you can help 000's of others, enjoy your work more and save lives!
The question is do I/you want to (make yourself happy by) helping other people by providing the best service (so 000's of other people can have better lives)? Or do you just want to make your own lonesome self rich by providing a worse service to others so 000's of others lives are less good?
