There are countless examples of very smart and very crazy people in history: Caligula, Hannibal, Nero, Napoleon, Lenine, Stalin, or Hitler are just few of them.

They had all above average gifts, aptitudes and capabilities but since they were not emotionally mature they made a very poor use of them.
Yet they have left their mark, haven't-they?

If you're crazy but intelligent enough to remark it then your case is not as desperate the ones of the above-mentioned characters who mainly refused any form of help.

You need counseling.
And it is going to be your mission for this coming new year: to go and find a psychologist near you either in the private or public sector.

Being able to see one's defect is the greatest blessing you can have. And since the more one is gifted the more one has responsibilities towards society, then I strongly entice you to be up to it and to put yourself in a situation where you can make the most out your talents.

That's your mission for 2008: go and seek help out there.

Being gifted is both a blessing and a curse, but not doing anything with it is morally unacceptable and unjustifiable.
Start something great that you;ll be proud of: invest in yourself.

Happy new year.

In what ways do you think that this world needs changing. Put your mind to answering that question first. Then ask yourself who or what organizations are already addressing this problem. At this point you will need to decide whether you would like to make common cause with others and solve a problem together, or whether you have the skills and desire to try to solve a problem on your own.

It isn't easy to change even the littlest problems with the world, and you can make your mark every day in a positive way without ever solving even one world-wide problem. It maybe that you will teach or mentor the young man or woman who develops an AIDS vaccine. It might be that you are part of a astrophysics research team whose data sheds new light on the origins of the physical universe but also eventually leads to the development of a lotion that prevents skin cancer by some medical researchers.

It's impossible to predict how you will change the world or that if you do that you will even be aware of your contribution to such change. So strive to lead a good life where you use your intellectual gifts to improve the lives of people in whatever way you can. Last, but not least, be kind and encouraging to others you encounter who share your goals. Even if you work alone, you can be a part of a larger community of exceptional and inspiring individuals who are committed to making the world better.

By the way, you aren't crazy. Just slow down a bit and life will become more comprehensible and enjoyable. Don't forget about the simple joys in your life. Take time to reflect upon them and allow them to continually inspire you.

You could stop telling people you are crazy so that you would be taken seriously.
You could do what you can to support children who will be our future.
The small things make the greatest impact. Stop thinking 'big' and start thinking of the small things you can do right in your own community to invest in the future of our great nation.
And ...if that doesn't do it for you.... work on reformulating a plan for the future of healthcare in America so that working people who have no healthcare insurance would not be financially devistated by one illness.
When you get that done....work on the prison system.
When you tire of that....work on the immigration problem.
And of course that will only take up the year 2008, 'cause your so smart n all'.... so then you can start on education reform.
By that time ...you should be ready to tackle world peace.
Good luck....hope to see results soon.
:o)

It takes alot of work and patience. Expect to screw up several times with it.(thats just part of the process). Watch for those wanting to gain from you and hinder the amount of info you share about it. expect alot of lies about you to spread subtlely so as to try and destroy your rep. Keep good documentation but limit that you have on your PC. make sure you don't sign any agreements with any banks allowing them to share your info with third party affiliates at all. Move forward conservatively. Just remember it takes time and many will try and hinder your progress. return the favor only in defense with verifiable proof. But keep going. I can offer you a more defined explanation, but it's pretty complex. That and some of the info is propietary. One step at a time. wonderful things take time and much patience to build. Most only know how to destroy it.

Nothing to lose means no attachments. This is a good thing, I'd say your smart.
Leave your mark by passing your understanding.

Devote your energies to discovering a new energy source to fuel our economy... you could buy yourself some time to complete that project by proving what buffoons the Climate Nazis are...

Since this q is in politics, run for office based on your craziness. Who doesn't want crazies in government? You could try honesty all the way.
C. :)!!

Run for public office. You cannot do any more damage than those who are already there.
