just a few on a serious note.
1. what do you aspire to be in your working career?
2. have you ever been arrested?
3. what do you consider to be success?
4. whom do you admire most in your life?
5. is there anyone on the rx you admire?
1)
what do you aspire to be in your working career? I initially aspired to be a sports writer (still do)...but really, I just want to be happy doing whatever it is I end up doing. I'm not going to restrict myself to a certain industry, especially when so many college graduates can't find good jobs these days. I need to graduate first, though...which is a problem, considering how fucking lazy I am.
But yeah, something in the sports industry, in some capacity, is preferable, because it is there that I can see myself being the most happy in life.
2)
have you ever been arrested? Nope, never been arrested...although I fully expect to be arrested someday on charges of child molestation.
3)
what do you consider to be success? I personally consider success the feeling of accomplishment and/or happiness with whatever one is trying to "succeed" at. Success is very subjective. For instance, I could consider one who has a family who loves him, and generally enjoys his life, to be successful. But someone else could consider that person a failure if he works a 9-5 job and doesn't make much $. So it just depends. But for me, being happy and satisfied with your life and whatever it is you're trying to be successful at, whether it be life, work, a relationship, gambling, etc., that's success to me.
4)
whom do you admire most in your life? I don't know that there's any one person whom I admire most. Rather, there are a lot of people who fall under a category that I admire: those who dedicate their lives to making others' lives better. Volunteers, people in the peace corps, doctors who instead of practicing, join Doctors Without Borders, etc. those people are who I admire.
I think that, in general, people are inherently selfish. In general, it takes effort to complete an unselfish act. So for someone to literally devote his entire life, almost every action, to helping someone else without expecting to receive anything in return, that is truly remarkable to me...because it goes against every selfish bone in one's body.
It's one thing to do something unselfish for a loved one. That's different. But to do something, even one minor thing, for a complete stranger, that takes effort. And to devote your entire life to doing that, it's just an amazing thing.
5)
is there anyone on the rx you admire? I think "admire" is too strong a word for me to use for anyone I know on the Rx. I've made some good friends on here, and there are posters who I have the utmost respect for...but to say I admire someone, I'd have to say no. But that's more a product of my definition of "admire" than anything else. But yeah, I truly respect some posters on here, and that is a big deal to me. Respect is earned, and I don't just give it out to any random person who says "good luck." I feel like I'm a good judge of character, so to get a sense of someone's character, who they really are, and still respect them, that's a big deal to me.
