A poem written by my grandson that I always carry with me

Returning to Hungary in 1988. It profoundly changed our lives

16. If you won USD 30 million, what would you do with the money?
I always fantasize how I would like to give it away anonymously, just little amounts at a time to make somebody’s life unexpectedly better

Erwin Laszlo who has devoted his life to trying to protect our planet from itself

India

20. What question(s) would you ask last if you interviewed yourself?
