I Would Like To Bring To People Something Like Happiness. I Would Like To Discover A Method So That If I Want It To Rain, It Will Start Right Away To Rain. If One Of My Friends Is Ill, I'd Like To Play A Certain Song And He Will Be Cured; When He'd Be Broke, I'd Bring Out A Different Song And Immediately He'd Receive All The Money He Needed.

Also, I Could See A Lot Of Things That I Didn't Know About At All.

I Believe That Men Are Here To Grow Themselves Into The Best Good That They Can Be - At Least, This Is What I Want To Do.
