Ask post: A pill as big as a small town.

Unless you're undergoing some special diet, or eat a lot of junk food and don't get your natural essentials...I'd recommend no. Vitamins are only good if you're eating close to no fruits and vegetables.

Ask post: What Are The "Classic" Movies That Modern Kids Will Love?

I'd go East. Kurosawa films, like The Seven Samurai, Rashomon and Yojimbo are pretty good for starters.

I think developing a taste for classic films is best acquired by progressively moving backwards. Every step you take allows you to develop into the era. I started with 70s films (recent enough), and then worked my way back to the 60s and 50s and classic era. It's easier to transition if you go decade by decade.

Ask post: What books should I read if I want to be successful?

I've actually found that reading books that tell you what to do turn me off. I enjoy books that make me feel good, that inspire me without telling me where to go.

Paolo Cohelo's The Alchemist pointed me on the direction toward success. Realizing your Personal Legend is what it's all about.
