Six Questions


I took part in an assertive communication training today. What I enjoyed most was the way we had to introduce ourselves to the rest of the group. It was by answering the following six questions. I'm going to leave it here in case someone would like to answer them. They reveal so much about a person and I'm really curious what some of your answers would be.


1) What sport would you be yours in the Olympic Games if you were a professional sportsman/woman?
(Me: Fencing. I think it is as beautiful as a dance, artistic and powerful. It also has great traditions in my country.)
2) What's your best way to start your day?
(Me: sitting on my sofa in my pyjamas, sipping a cup of coffee, listening to the radio and giving myself time to wake up.)
3) What book would you really like to read?
(Me: East of Eden by Steinbeck. I had this book on my bookshelf for at least 15 years and for some reason I have never got round to reading it but always wanted to.)
4) What is it you would like to rid the world of?
(Me: children suffering from hunger, thirst, wars, abuse.)
5) Where would you like to travel?
(Kilimanjaro in Tanzania)
6) Which of your weaknesses would you like to get rid of?
(Me: judging people too easily.)

    I can't choose for number 3. I'm selfish and want to read all books!

    Are you going to evaluate us. I'd like to know what it means.

    Essentially: there must be something that rigt now is looking at you from your bookshelf or something you look at in the bookstore's window that you particularly want to read?

    Seba: Do you do Tae Kwon Do?? Amazing sport to watch! Lord of the Flies is funnily enough one of the books I have never got round to reading even though I bought it a million years ago to read!! :)

    Exseno: I need to say NO: I really liked this. You must be someone to ask for plenty of favours, I guess? Do say no when you have enough on your shoulder, people will not respect or like you less!!

    Sorry, I wasn't going to evaluate any of this, I just wanted to see your replies to get to know lyou better, so thanks a lot for stopping by!!!
