I would support more natural and personal communities because of the use of nature. We should learn how to live in peace with nature. How to use, taste the nature without destroying it. It's also cheaper way of living. I could have lived in more customized places but...I like busy streets and sound of city:).

An inspiring person of our choice:

DEREK SIVERSDerek Sivers is a person who is very fond of music and enterpreneuership. His new pasion is programming. We first noticed Derek Sivers in his speaches at TED conferences: “How to get a movement” and “Wierd or just different”.

We chosed him because we see him as a person, who really enjoys in what he is doing. He is so optimistic. We reckon that his life motto “whatever scares you, go do it” is challenging and worth to remember.

What we would like to ask?•How do you choose on which activities you devote your time? What is the most important factor to you?• A lot of optimism and energy can be found on your blog, your speaches… Where do they come from?•How do you connect fun and meaning in your everyday life?• Do you think it will be possible in the future to measure the fun we have at certain activities?

We already established a contact with Derek Sivers.
