Views: 717 - I Don't Want to Know the Odds - by Submitted on Apr 01, 2009 from james liuIt may seem funny, at first glance, to call Barack Obama a hero. I mean, he's not a war hero—we know that.

Views: 698 - Create Your Life By Design - by Submitted on Feb 16, 2009 from james liuHow important is that one definite burning desire… that one obsession, so to speak?
