These questions have no right or wrong answers.
Because sometimes asking the right questions is the answer.
How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are?
I feel like I have an old soul and that I should be older that what I am. I feel about 28 years old.
Which is worse, failing or never trying?
I think never trying is worse than failing because what if you succeed the first time you try?
If life is so short, why do we do so many things we don’t like and like so many things we don’t do?
This is a tricky one. I feel like people do things they don’t like because someone asked them to do it. Like me, some people are helpers and naturally want to help even if it requires doing something you dislike. As far as not doing the things you like it all comes down to fear of failing.
When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?
I personally will do more than speak more. I have a voice put I like to get things done rather than debate over it forever.

If happiness was the national currency, what kind of work would make you rich?
Helping others. Teacher.

I am doing what I believe in. I believe education is key to life and the ability to grow as a population.
If the average human life span was 40 years, how would you live your life differently?
I would travel the world and see has much as I could. I would have many children to enjoy their lives.
To what degree have you actually controlled the course your life has taken?
I have controlled most of my life o be honest. I have strived to be different than my mother and father. I have strived to be a nice person. I have controlled having a daughter. I have controlled outcomes of bad relationships.
Are you more worried about doing things right, or doing the right things?
I am a perfectionist and doing things right is a big thing for me, but I would rather do the right things wrong than do the wrong things right.
You’re having lunch with three people you respect and admire. They all start criticizing a close friend of yours, not knowing she is your friend. The criticism is distasteful and unjustified. What do you do?
Sit back and listen. Let them get out all of their nasty comments and then when the least expect tell them that is my friend and stand up for them. Leave the table and probably would not admire them anymore.
If you could offer a newborn child only one piece of advice, what would it be?

Yes, I think that painting goes along the lines of this. Looking at a painting that looks crazy and out of place at first but stepping back and realizing it is beautiful.
What’s something you know you do differently than most people?
I do everything different than most people because I am my own person. I may do things similar to others, but never the same.

What are you most grateful for?

Would you rather lose all of your old memories, or never be able to make new ones?
