What things ignite your desire to help make this world a better place? Really think about this. How can your life goals not only fulfill your own needs but contribute to the community. Use your own blog.
The feeling of knowing that I'm helping because I want to and not because someone is telling me to do it is a good feeling. I would say the thing that ignites my desire to help make the world a better place is the way I feel about myself after. I don't really have any life goals but I hope that whatever I end up doing not only helps me but helps people around me. I will always have good intentions when helping people out.

Do Now 5/11

If I wore an invisible cloak for a day, I'd probably try and help people out in any way that I can. For example open the door for someone who cant open it themselves. Like if someone had full hands and was struggling to open the door, I could step in and open it for them. Another thing I would do is if anyone dropped anything I could pick it up and hand it to them. I don't really know if I could go the whole day doing good deeds because id probably end up messing around with people. Like id make noises and throw things so I could scare people. I would also go to the grocery store and get food for myself and other people who need it, like homeless people.

Magnetically Levitating Elevators

 German company ThyssenKrupp may solve that problem by trading cables for tracks that employ magnetic levitation, or maglev. Unconstrained by a linear pulley system, the cars--to be tested in Germany next year--will travel higher and in new directions, moving horizontally and even diagonally. The system, called Multi, may help make possible buildings of unprecedented size and energy efficiency, like this conceptual Edison Tower. To learn how the elevator works click here.
