Most of all, you have to be disciplined and you have to save, even if you hate our current financial system. Because if you don't save, then you're guaranteed to end up with nothing.

5 Beloved Celebrities Who Were Nothing Like You Think:

"When famous people transcend famous-peoplehood and become icons, their
personalities will often be reduced to one defining characteristic: Abraham Lincoln
was as honest as he was tall, Mahatma Gandhi was as peaceful as he was short,
etc. But famous people are still, you know, people. We understand that even the
most beloved cultural icons are allowed to have flaws, but in some cases, their real
personalities actually contradicted the one thing they're now famous for. For
example ..."

Consisting of a whopping 84 strokes, the kanji taito is arguably among the hardest Japanese words to write. Most kanji have fewer than 30 strokes.



Taito means "the appearance of a dragon in flight". It was apparently used as a surname and, according to a 2002 newspaper article from Kumamoto, somebody was reportedly using it as his or her family name as recently as the 1960s. No one is known to possess this surname today.

Now, as I said, while it is arguably among the hardest Japanese kanji to write, taito is not necessarily the most complex. That's because the word is formed by two kanji — "cloud" ( 雲 ) and "dragon" ( 龍 ) — written three times each. Some would say that's cheating (the equivalent Chinese word, da2 龘 , comprises just three "dragon" 龍 radicals).

For a more comprehensive look at monstrously complex kanji, check out Crazy kanji: What's the highest stroke count? (Oct 22, 2009).

According to the author, this would qualify more appropriately as the kanji with the most unique strokes.



It's apparently an older, and now obsolete, version of sei 性 , which means gender, human nature, or sex. Japanese students are probably sighing in relief that they don't have to write something that complicated for something so basic to day-to-day life.

Technically speaking, every single Brit, is sworn to protect the Queen and her lineage so as to protect the country. So you would be either be facing the entire SAS Regiment, Royal Marines and the Gurkhas first. Either that or the lecturers from the London School of Economics exploding your head with their utterly complex lectures.

And that is discounting the people living in the Commonwealth states like Canada, Australia, New Zealand, etc.

Still want to take over the British Monarchy now?

Hearing is the last sense that you'll lose if you die. You will amplify the bacteria in your ears 7,000x after you use an earphone/headset for two hours.
