I saw this over at The Organic Blonde  a few weeks ago and decided to give it a try.

1. How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are?
   I would be 18. Legally old enough to go out and have some fun.

2. Which is worse, failing or never trying? Never trying.

3. 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 tough one to answer. I guess it all boils down to being responsible and not having the choice to do otherwise.
4. When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?
   I guess not. I’m one who would take action if I have said that I would do it. Just that it may take longer for certain tasks to be completed.
   
   
5. What is the one thing you’d most like to change about the world?

   Greed. It has caused the downfall of many and tortured many others indirectly. 

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

   My current job as a multi-tasking mom would certainly make me rich. In fact I should be on the multi-millionaire list by now. 🙂 

7. Are you doing what you believe in, or are you settling for what you are doing?
   I’m certainly doing what I’m believe in.
   
8. If the average human life span was 40 years, how would you live your life differently?
   It would have kids earlier on so that I can spend the maximum number of years taking care and grooming them.

10. Are you more worried about doing things right, or doing the right things?I’m not worried about neither. It would be great to be able to do things right the first time but there is no need to get stress and fuss over it if it doesn’t happen.

    
    

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? I would not join in the conversation as I strongly feel against gossiping about others. I would also tell them it’s not nice to talk bad about her behind her back.

    
    

12. If you could offer a newborn child only one piece of advice, what would it be? I would tell the child to believe in himself.

15. What’s something you know you do differently than most people?
    I am left handed and write with my left hand. 

16. How come the things that make you happy don’t make everyone happy?
    I guess everyone definition of happiness differs so that it’s no surprise what I makes me happy may not be what makes them happy.

    I want to take up a baking diploma course and learn how to be a professional baker.

20. Do you push the elevator button more than once?  Do you really believe it makes the elevator faster? 

    No I don’t. I don’t believe pushing the button more then once would make the elevator move faster.
