Short Answer Type Questions

Question 1:
What makes you nervous?
Answer :
The sweetest and most inoffensive path of life leads through the avenues of science
and learning; and whoever can either remove any obstruction in this way, or open up
any new prospect, ought, so far, to be esteemed a benefactor to mankind.

Question 2:
Where did you go on your last vacation?
Answer :
The question is, when so many others cut corners, shave the truth, self-deal,
believe in the fast buck, and follow the crowd along the low road of least
resistance, can we even afford to travel the high road of ethical behavior?
Frankly, we can't afford anything else. Any other competitive angle is a pure
crapshoot in today's business world. Companies with shaky ethics and shabby
standards will be crippled as they try to compete in our changing world.

Question 3:
How often do you curse? And what's your go-to string of curse words?
Answer :
Even a mistake may turn out to be the one thing necessary to a worthwhile
achievement.

Question 4:
Do athletes deserve the high salaries they receive? Why or why not?
Answer :
What's really important in life? Sitting on a beach? Looking at television eight
hours a day? I think we have to appreciate that we're alive for only a limited
period of time, and we'll spend most of our lives working. That being the case, I
believe one of the most important priorities is to do whatever we do as well as we
can. We should take pride in that.

Question 5:
What is the best way to stay motivated and complete goals?
Answer :
A witty statesman said, you might prove anything by figures.

Question 6:
What's the best thing about traveling? How about the worst thing?
Answer :
It flows through old hushed Egypt and its sands, Like some grave mighty thought
threading a dream, And times and things, as in that vision, seem Keeping along it
their eternal stands.

Question 7:
What did you want to grow up to be when you were younger?
Answer :
It is impossible that anything so natural, so necessary, and so universal as death
should ever have been designed by Providence as an evil to mankind.

Question 8:
If you had a personal mascot, what would your mascot be?
Answer :
About all I can say for the United States Senate is that it opens with a prayer and
closes with an investigation.
Question 9:
Do you believe in love at first sight?
Answer :
I don't want any yes-men around me. I want everybody to tell me the truth even if
it costs them their jobs.

Question 10:
Was there ever an event in your life that defied explanation?
Answer :
Our destiny changes with our thought; we shall become what we wish to become, do
what we wish to do, when our habitual thought corresponds with our desire.
