Businesswoman Chapter 258
Lucre
In front of a theater of about a thousand with millions more online, Entrepreneur Paul considered the interview as one with potential. The Mercier Hotel in Wilmington, Delaware provided for a healthy night of questions and answers. It held the weight of his framework for all his companies. To say that he felt excited would be a profound understatement.
“Mr. Atkinson…Entrepreneur Paul?” er Zin Dask queried.
“Entrepreneur Paul. I have the rights to the name.” Some light laughter and a few claps followed.
“Alright, how much are you worth?” Interview
“Wow! We’re starting out with that? I don’t divulge my net worth like that. There are plenty of magazines that ‘rank’ my fortune, but I don’t think it’s proper or anyone’s business to know how much I make.”
More applause. “Okay, switching gears, why do you have money?”
“What do you mean?” Entrepreneur Paul asked.
“I mean what is the point of having close to a trillion dollars according to Lucre magazine?”
“That’s not an accurate and definitely not a precise figure. I will say, though, that you get money to start and run businesses. Clichés are that way because they’re true. You’ve heard the saying ‘you’ve gotta have money to make money.”
“Yes, but why so much? Can’t you get by on lesser funds?”
“Of course, but that’s not the point. You earn money to further your time. The more money you make, the more time you have to do what you wish.”
“Why stay in Delaware. You could go to the Silicons: Valley, Prairie, Forest, Alley ...why the First State?”
“I love this place. It’s like a cellar door. It doesn’t look like much but when you enter it, you are immersed in a world of wonder.”
“Last question…are you happy,” Dask asked.
“I’m totally overjoyed,” Atkinson relayed.

Search for a Sister, Chapter Two
4-H-N heard not a word about her secret mission around Headquarters over the following days, so had to conclude either Mini-Flash Phytolith hadn’t been listening in after all, or she’d misjudged him. She hoped it was the latter, as she wanted the pair of them to get on, even if he wasn’t going out of his way to make it easy for her.

When Hobbies Become Life What Happens?
As we live our lives and do the things we enjoy, what do we call it? Do we call the things that we enjoy in life something like hobbies or are hobbies just a form of relaxation for us to clear our minds and not think of all the living we have to do to make our lives what they are for ourselves? Now you might not all understand that so what that means is, doing the things that make our lives enjoyable for ourselves, yes we all have to work to make money to live but life shouldn’t be all about working. If our lives are all about working, where do our hobbies come in? Or do they come in at all when that happens? Usually if we work ourselves to the bone we can feel it. However what happens we make our lives hobbiesque and live that way, do our hobbies become life? Yes they do and when that happens how does that make us feel? Well it makes us feel good and that life is livable and fun versus all work and no play. Not that hobbies and living is all about play but we can live our lives on our own terms this way.
