Open secret (it's like a cheat code): service to others is the most rewarding.

"optimise" is the correct spelling in some variants of English other than American, like British.

Recently spent 4 years living in London, and I picked up some of the UK spelling.

Very interesting, thanks!

Lucky duck! :-)

I want to hide behind my auto-spellchecker (which flagged it as I was replying, which is what prompted me to tease you about it) but really I'm just more ignorant than I like to believe. Good lesson in humility really. Oddly enough, I used to have it set to British English and so used e.g. "colour", etc.

Cheers! It's like a whole 'nother level to life, like as if you've been playing checkers the whole time and now you're ready for chess. You're at the right age too: you've seen enough of the world to avoid the naivete of youth, but you still have energy and ~20-50+ years to work/play with!
