A: I have an acute phobia of needles, including anything that might break my skin. I stepped way out of my comfort zone, and got my lip pierced. Having a lip piercing hasn't helped me become better, but facing my fear has. If I can face that one, I can do anything.

My question is this:

Q: What fears do you have that are preventing you from moving forward in your life or goals?

I noticed that i'm scared of new circumstances and because of that i drop into routines. I hate that and i decided to change.

Q: If you have only one wish, what would it be?

A. To be truly and completely loved and adored by someone of the opposite sex and whom I am very compatible with and attracted to.

Q: To change the topic a bit (lol), do you have any pets? If so, what are they and would you like more. If not, why?

A: I've never had a pet, circumstances just didn't allow. One, because my dad is allergic to any fur-bearing animals. Two, my mother decided that five kids was quite enough chaos, thankyouverymuch. And three, I presently live in a dorm - no pets allowed. However, soon i'll be getting my own apartment, and when I feel like I can afford it, I'd like to adopt a cat. =^.^=

Q: If your favorite pair of shoes could talk, what's one story they might tell?

A: Ignorance of what? Indifference to what? Typically, I would think that indifference is worse. Ignorance can be quickly cured by information, but indifference says, "I do not need to learn."

Q: What motivates you to improve yourself? Is it something physical, psychological, or spiritual?

You ruined it The David! Just kidding. I'll branch below you.

A: Psychological - I have tremendous self-pressure because I want my friends and family see me as a role-model type.

Saving! Saving! Saving!

Living it up doesn't do it for me. If I'm not happy with what I have now, how could I be happy for long with expensive things? I've never met anyone with tons of cool stuff that didn't have something they still wanted, but lacked. Most of my money goes unused, pretty much.

I absolutely love this story I once came across:

Quote:
Ryokan, a Zen master, lived the simplest kind of life in a little hut at the foot of a mountain. One evening a thief visited the hut only to discover there was nothing in it to steal.

Ryokan returned and caught him. "You may have come a long way to visit me," he told the prowler, "and you shoud not return emptyhanded. Please take my clothes as a gift."

The thief was bewildered. He took the clothes and slunk away.

Ryokan sat naked, watching the moon. "Poor fellow, " he mused, "I wish I could give him this beautiful moon."




What's your favorite food?

A: Honesty is the best policy! If the truth hurts or could cause conflict, then we first learn how communicate effectively. It's about knowing the person well enough to know which are his/her hot buttons. We can still tell the truth and avoid pushing those buttons.

In NLP, we learnt about pre-framing. So before baring the truth, we can cushion the person first.

Telling a lie requires hundred more lies to cover for the first one. Furthermore, if the person finds out the truth in future, you are effectively breaking the trust.

Q: If there's one area in love and relationships you like to know, what would that be?

A: I am working very consciously at learning to relax, something which in my profession is not always the easiest to manage due to irregular scheduling. When a free moment comes along my mind races with all of the things I could be doing.

Q: Why do you think art and music are necessary and helpful for a society?

Question

Art and music are necessary because they allow individuals to express themselves freely. Society is usually saturated with ideals that are corporate in nature. Art and music allows us to appreciate someone elses creative expression while enticing us to express ourselves creatively as well.

Q: Who are you and why are you here?

A. A country that isn't trying to conquer the world; probably somewhere in Europe. More specifically, on a property with a lake and a modest, comfortable house, and not too close to any big cities.

Q. If you were one of the prisoners in the classic prisoner's dilemma, would you testify against the other prisoner or stay silent? (explained below for those not familiar with it)

From Wikipedia:
"Two suspects, A and B, are arrested by the police. The police have insufficient evidence for a conviction, and, having separated both prisoners, visit each of them to offer the same deal: if one testifies for the prosecution against the other and the other remains silent, the betrayer goes free and the silent accomplice receives the full 10-year sentence. If both stay silent, the police can sentence both prisoners to only six months in jail for a minor charge. If each betrays the other, each will receive a two-year sentence. Each prisoner must make the choice of whether to betray the other or to remain silent. However, neither prisoner knows for sure what choice the other prisoner will make."

A. I would stay silent.

Q. If you could get everything you wanted right now, would you have it? (or do you enjoy the process of getting it so much that you'd rather work for it?)
