TBD on Ning

A friend of mine shared this on his facebook...I don't think many of you know him, so it might be new to you..thought it might give you a few things to think about...just pick and choose the ones that might have some meaning for you....

I love these kinds of things and use them in class.

11.You’re having lunch with three people you respect and admire.  They all startcriticizing a close friend of yours, not knowing she is your friend.  The criticism is distasteful and unjustified.  What do you do?

I would absolutely say whoa whoa whoa, she's my friend, you know?  And I would probably defend her which would cause problems, my middle name.

18.Are you holding onto something you need to let go of?


Yes.  Working on it.

15.What’s something you know you do differently than most people?

I really do try to look at many sides of a situation.  It hurts my head. And I am not afraid to speak out, although sometimes I don't because I know it will be useless or because I'm just too tired.

 

35.Why do religions that support love cause so many wars?

This one is so easy.  Stupid people.  What religion says judge and go out and kill people who don't think like you do?  None that I know of.

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?

 

Tough one.  When one is married, one has to make decisions along with someone else.  Luckily, my husband and I agree on a lot and he respects my value system.  But we each have children and families, and sometimes, around holidays, it gets a bit dicey.

I ask what I call a reflection question everyday.... these are good for that.

42.Would you be willing to reduce your life expectancy by 10 years to become extremely attractive or famous?

I have learned to do as much as I can  to get as much time as I can...not giving up a minute.

These are all great questions, resonating with me now are:

32. If not now, when?    33. If you haven't achieved it yet, what do you have to lose?

They go along with doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Working on a big change for me.

It takes a lot of brain talk to myself to make a change, it's happening but very gradually.

1.How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are?

45--It was the best of times and the worst of times.

31.At what time in your recent past have you felt most passionate and alive? Since meeting the man I am seeing now

34.Have you ever been with someone, said nothing, and walked away feeling like you just had the best conversation ever?  Yes, with my late husband and the man I am seeing now

41.If you knew that everyone you know was going to die tomorrow, who would you visit today? the man I'm seeing now - my family is too far away, my friends all have family/spouses/children nearby

42.Would you be willing to reduce your life expectancy by 10 years to become extremely attractive or famous? absolutely not.  Who knows what I might experience or accomplish in those 10 years.

46.What would you do differently if you knew nobody would judge you?  Not a thing.  It doesn't matter if anyone knows what I do or what they think about what I do.  What matters is that I know, and what I think about what I am doing.

49.In 5 years from now, will you remember what you did yesterday?  What about the day before that?  Or the day before that?  Hell, I won't remember tomorrow what I did today ...

35.  Because organized religion is a creation of man.....and man is imperfect, so anything created by him is tarnished and polluted. 

41.  I'd visit my great grandchildren.  I want them to know how very much Great Grandma loves them, and how much they've enriched my life. 

21.  Oh, a joyful simpleton, for sure!  With intelligence and awareness comes worry, anxiety, stress, concern, and pain.  I want to be like those people Jay Leno interviews in "Jay Walking"......totally clueless and unconcerned.  Like that guy on the Mad magazine cover used to say, "What....me worry??"
