8. If the average human life span was 40 years, how would you live your life differently?
I wouldn't. I'm already way over the '40' average, so must be doing something right.

I get out of bed in the morning with a plan. 10 minutes later, I'm winging it.

fast, it will not be right. If you want it
right and
cheap, it will not be
fast.

11. 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?
Depends. Is she cute?

Not right now. Ask me again later.

Depends. Is anyone watching?

21. Would you rather be a worried genius or a joyful simpleton?

22. Why are you, you?
Because I'm not you.

Memories... I seem to recall having a couple of those once but I'm not sure now. What was the question again?

Religion doesn't cause wars. Zealots cause wars. Well, zealots and politicians. Mostly politicians, actually. No, now I think about it, zealots don't cause wars, politicians do. Exclusively. Then they send zealots to fight them. Yeah, that's it.

39. Do you feel like you’ve lived this day a hundred times before?
No. This day will only pass once. Then tomorrow will be another day, and so on. That's how time advances into the future. Certain proof that man will never be able to travel back in time: If they ever could, there'd be a record of it. Think about it....

40. When was the last time you marched into the dark with only the soft glow of an idea you strongly believed in?
Ideas don't glow, they suddenly illuminate like someone flipping a switch. You should know this stuff by now.

Most famous people do. They always seem to die young. You never noticed that?

pafret wrote:
44. When is it time to stop calculating risk and rewards, and just go ahead and do what you know is right?
When you already made a ton of money and it no longer matters if you win or lose. Just don't bet it all on black, that's always a bad idea.

45. If we learn from our mistakes, why are we always so afraid to make a mistake?
Because learning gives me a headache. Duh!
pafret wrote:

Nobody judging me now. I didn't do it, and even if I did, nobody saw me.
pafret wrote:

Night before last. She had her thighs covering my ears and it was hard to breathe in there.

48. What do you love? Have any of your recent actions openly expressed this love?
Beer. Oh, and chocolate. And Ice cream, I really love ice cream. Got any ice cream? Chocolate ice cream beer float is the bomb.

49. In 5 years from now, will you remember what you did yesterday? What about the day before that? Or the day before that?
Damn! There's that 'memory' thing again. No! I don't remember! I have no idea how that spider finished up in her bed! there! Does that satisfy you?!

50. Decisions are being made right now. The question is: Are you making them for yourself, or are you letting others make them for you?"
What decisions? Is someone deciding without a permit? This is a serious violation of the Prime Directive and must cease immediately. No decisions are permitted unless a permit is issued and the person making the decision has the full authority of the collective. Any violation of this proclamation will be severely dealt with in the usual manner.
