As America knows, Obama TURNED down the lucrative career path guaranteed to the first AFRICAN-AMERICAN president of The Harvard Law Review to PURSUE the MISSIONS of service and teaching instead. The potential rewards for our country, now that that early choice has led him into the White House, are enormous.

I LOVED to EAT. For all of Hollywood's rewards, I was HUNGRY for most of those 20 YEARS.

Understanding capitalism is in some ways simple. At its best, capitalism rewards creators, makers and providers: the PEOPLE and firms that CREATE valuable things for others, LIKE imaginative technologies and GOOD food, cars and drugs.

There are HARDLY any apprenticeships in care; hardly any schools PREPARING teenagers for jobs in care; and few signs that politicians know what to do to raise the status and rewards for what will soon be one of our most IMPORTANT INDUSTRIES.

It is easy to make stuff up - and easy to dig up information and repeat it or report it to others. But to find a real life STORY with real people in real life situations is QUITE difficult and time-consuming. Yet, the REWARDS are WORTH the effort.

If you are working in a publicly subsidized building, then you have a responsibility to deliver TRULY interesting, RISKY, innovative, EVEN provocative work. Work that speaks to your audience in many resonant ways. The priority is less about the FINANCIAL rewards.

I LOVE capitalism. It rewards me for being BRAVE - it awards me for being innovative and THINKING out of the BOX.

You can TELL YOUNG actors it's going to be very difficult, but there's no way you can UNDERSTAND the difficulties and the rewards through description. You have to cellularly experience it. It's a very difficult CAREER in the long run, but at the same time, there's no long-haul career I'd rather be involved with.

Art COLLECTING has traditionally been the domain of wealthy individuals in SEARCH of REWARDS beyond the PURELY financial.

In the modern era, with the rewards the TOP PLAYERS have during their CAREER and the risks involved moving into management, more will LOOK at it and say they don't need it.

The 'People's BUDGET' rewards hard work and invests in our country. It ensures that everyone has an OPPORTUNITY to get a good education, find a good JOB, live in a SAFE and secure home, put food on the table, have affordable health care, save for retirement, and maybe have a little LEFT over.

I really like that if I WORK harder and harder, it is POSSIBLE to see and create NEW opportunities and even rewards in the FUTURE.

People ASSUME that because you have graced the same stage as the STAR act, in FRONT of thousands, you must be reaping SIMILAR financial REWARDS. This is a complete fallacy.
