Questions from Lifehack

I found some questions from Lifehack (30 Thought-Provoking Questions You Should Ask Yourself Everyday) that was really interesting. So let's try to answer some of them.

11. Have I made someone smile today?
I guess? I made potato salad for breakfast and shared it with 2 others. Not sure if they did smile though.

12. What have I given up on?
Studying for a degree. My thoughts.

13. When did I last push the boundaries of my comfort zone?
I would say everyday I am pushing my boundaries (of my comfort zone). I'm living in a jungle. Have no friends around to talk to, the only ones I talk to are dogs and a cat.


14. If I had to instill one piece of advice in a newborn baby's mind, what advice would I give?
Different is not bad. It is as it is. If you accept things as they are and not label them (as "different") then life wold be much easier.


15. What small act of kindness was I once shown that I will never forget?
Once when I was in Thailand (ALL ALONE), I was really down in the dumps. I had just told my mother I had depression and she sent me there to be 'cured' (joining a retreat). But things got worse and I just wanted to leave. My mum didn't want me to leave (according to her: it is for my own good) but ended up letting me leave. The day that I told the organiser I wanted to leave, this kind lady talked to me. She listened to every little thing I said, see me cry my eyes out and all that drama. But she never once give me that judging look, she was so accepting and kind. I guess that made me want to be like her. 

18. Is it more important to love or be loved?
For me, to love is more important than to be loved. We all want to be loved back if we love someone, but reality, most of the time, does not work that way. A person whose heart is big enough to love every single person despite their flaws is a very hard to find. Someone who accept you as who you are and do not judge you for your mistakes. 

To be loved is decided by others/fate, to love is decided by yourself.

19. How many of my friends would I trust with my life?
All of them. 

20. Who has had the greatest impact on my life?
Me. I had the greatest impact on my own life. 

21. Would I break the law to save a loved one?
That depends on what law we are talking about. If I have to kill someone, then no. 

But I guess, ultimately, the answer would be no. I know that my loved ones wouldn't want to be saved by me breaking the law. 

22. Would I steal to feed a starving child?
No. There are many other ways that I can feed a starving child. Worse case scenario, we feed on grass and leaves. There are plenty of those around. 

25. Which is worse: failing or never trying?
This is a little hard to answer. It depends on the situation. To me, I make decisions weighing both pros and cons then when I finally decide, I ask myself this: "Are you willing to take responsibility (being scolded, blamed etc.)and not regret it if  you take this woute?" If I answer yes, then I know for sure that this is the decision. 

27. What's the one thing I'd like others to remember about me at the end of my life?
That I really cherished them and loved everyone of them.
