If you were given 1 million dollars, a truck with 1 million dollars of gold or 1 million dollars of diamonds, which would you take and why?

No question, the cash (as Dr. Evil would say..."one mill-ion dollars"). If you get either the gold or the diamonds you are going to end up paying someone at least some portion of the funds in order to convert it into cash so you can spend it. The cash is legal tender and can easily be exchanged for just about anything you want...including gold and diamonds.

I wouldn't mind taking all the three. But if I had to strictly choose one, I would take the million dollars in cash because of the flexibility in usage. I would immediately start investing in my ideas and see the money grow and put to great use.

I would buy some gold and diamonds with it too.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
