I don't know where I came across this but thought it might be an interesting exercise to share.
What did you dream of becoming when you were a kid? - Cartoonist, really ever since 4th grade that would fall under the category of dream. Late teens it was about being rich.
What are your strengths and values? - I hate questions like this...I don't know if I really know. I guess one core thing I can think of is honest. Other than that I really don't know. I think "strength" is a relative term and as such it depends on the circumstance. Values? Really, what the hell even is a value? It depends on the circumstances at hand. Yea, I could say "Don't kill someone." but if you threaten my ass, I might just kill you before you kill me. So the value is also relative.
If money weren’t a problem, what would you spend your every day doing? - Any thing that struck my fancy at the time. I like exploring and experiencing things. I'm willing to try anything, and I'm not too keen on doing over and over the things I've done.
What would you be doing if you knew you couldn’t fail? - Fear of failure has never really held me back as an adult. As a kid, yes. I can't point to one or two specific things, but I know I didn't try things for fear of failure or embarassment. I don't fear failure as much as fear mis-allocation of my resources or uncertainty of the best attack.
What’s your favorite way to spend your free time? - exploring, seeing or doing new things.
What have you done in your life that you are especially proud of? -I feel like I've been a good dad. I guess I'm not the ultimate judge of that though.
What activity are you doing when it feels like time just flies by? - learning, researching some subject I've decided to look into.
When do you feel the most alive? - I guess to answer that I'd have to have compare it to a time I feel most dead, and I can't think of any of those.
What kind of impact do you want to have? - why must I have an impact on anyone or thing? I don't understand this concept. I want to enjoy my life, for me. I've done what every living thing is suppose to do...I multiplied, pro-created, perpetuated my genes, isn't the rest of my time for me, since I'm not expected to continue to have offspring.
What kind of professional and personal breakthroughs do you want to experience? - I want to be unburdened.
What are things (a language, a sport) you want to learn? - If I didn't have to balance this with limited funds or time....fly.
How do you envision you will leave your goal or legacy on people’s lives? - my day job impacts a lot of people. I would like to think maybe there is some sort of legacy effect of that, but as far as leaving my goal on peoples lives...what the hell does that mean?
What are you excited, happy, and enjoying most in your liferight now? - continuing to be able to survive. If I can survive today, maybe tomorrow will be better.
