It's Not The Money, It's the Mission

George Lucas is pretty rich and just sold Star Wars to Disney for 4 BILLION DOLLARS.

And he is doing something wonderful with the money. He is donating it to "EDUCATION"

a foundation for education

I hope this works out for the good. It should.
I'm really glad he is doing that. It is the sort of thing I once wanted to do.

HOWEVER

I remember thinking deeply on the subject.
I realized that we are already lavishing astronomical sums on education. And I am sure it has benefits, but the major problems of humanity are still with us.

All the brilliant minds at all the universities thinking and studying for centuries more and more and we still have
poverty
disease
madness
war
misery
unhappiness
etc.

So, I thought, money is not the answer. 
The right mission statement in the answer.
For example we have The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution and some other nice documents. Our nation rests on these mission statements.

So I did come up with a good mission statement, if only I could remember it.
