Prokofiev’s Second Piano Concerto is a very special piece to me. A few years ago, I attended its performance with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, and I remember being emotionally struck as I never had before. The sweeping dynamics and virtuosic artistry were overwhelming, and for some reason I felt that I could really connect with the emotions that Prokofiev was trying to portray.
Student loan debt is in the trillions, and so some students have turned to more extreme earning strategies. One of these is renting out ones face for advertising. Several companies are now trying to help a broader group of students, though.
This is an amazing recording of an orchestral variation of Arnold Shoenberg’s Verklarte Nacht, one of his most beautiful works. Composed in 1899, it shows the beginnings of the Second Viennese Movement, the thought school he was to champion.

With the world population nearing 7 billion people, the increasingly competitive nature of the global market seems only to be expected. It makes perfect sense that if you have something on your resume that makes you unique from the others applying for a job, your more likely to gain that employment and be paid more.
If we can somehow motivate people to become more developed, well rounded, and attractive to the markets, then this will help our economy greatly. It is for this reason that I agree that we need to help motivate people to become more developed and competitive workers.
I also agree that curiosity can be a huge motivator in making a person develop themselves. People who are curios tend to learn more easily and try new things, making them generally more rounded, interesting, and competitive in the workplace.
The internet is an extremely easy way to satisfy ones curiosity about most subjects, and it is an amazing tool almost anyone can use. It also presents many problems though, as there is more information on the internet then you could ever possibly want, and this can lead to distractions and or information overload. There is also the possibility that the information could be false, if it comes from non reputable sources, so we need to be careful.
This is an very (I feel) accurate list of the most investive minds of our day. The link to CNNMoney is listed below.
