Question: Please give us your views on one of the pop culture quotations on the screen: "I'm tired of dreaming. I'm into doing at the moment. It's, like, let's only have goals that we can go after." (Bono) "The Internet is like alcohol in some sense. It accentuates what you would do anyway. If you want to be a loner, you can be more alone. If you want to connect, it makes it easier to connect." (Esther Dyson) "I do think this next century hopefully will be about a more global view. Where you don't just think 'Yes, my country is doing well' but you think about the world at large." (Bill Gates) "The truth is you don't know what is going to happen tomorrow. Life is a crazy ride, and nothing is guaranteed." (Eminem) "Mom and dad backed me through it all. Picked me up each time I'd fall. In fact they called it growing pains and said all kids must try such things. They kept the faith and brought me through." (Toby Keith)
