“Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much.” Helen Keller American educator Helen Keller overcame the adversity of being blind and deaf to become one of the 20th century's leading humanitarians. And she did it with her lifelong teacher and friend Anne Sullivan. Their first memorable moment was when Keller learned to spell "W-A-T-E-R" with the help of Anne.  That beautiful moment opened her to an entire whole world she did not know existed.

You can reach the infinite space and watch the home planet where we live in. Just with a couple of hundred grand, you can buy a ticket and according to latest report just with a whopping sum of 15 million dollars, there is a space travel package! That includes 5 days to be trained and certified for an “Extravehicular Activity,” otherwise called a spacewalk.  Well, not only to travel to places mankind has just started to explore but the entirety of the globe, money is a must. You can have breakfast in Tokyo, lunch in Paris, and dinner in New York, truly a cosmopolitan man! The depth of the ocean or the highest mountain; nothing is impossible to reach and explore when you have bought your very own personal submarine and hired a dozen of the best Sherpa's as your personal guide.  You can&
