Topic #4: Senses

As we all know, we humans have five senses: touch, smell, hearing, taste, and sight.  As I have looked at all of you, it appears that you all have all five of your senses.  However, have you ever imagined what life would be like if you did not have one of the five that you currently possess?  Imagine that!  Therefore, the question for this week is if you had to lose one of your five senses, which would it be and why? 

Topic #3: Popularity, Accomplishment, or Organization?

Although there are many things which we consider to be important, I would like to ask about the three in this week's title.  Out of the three - popularity, accomplishment, and organization, which is most important to you?  Do you think being popular and having a lot of friends is most important in life?  How about accomplishment?  Do you think it is crucial to be able to accomplish all that you set out to achieve?  Finally, organization.  Is it most important to be organized in all that you do?  Which of these is most important in your opinion and why?  Are you living by one of these? 

Topic #2: Time Travel

Hollywood has come out with several movies that are about time travel; for instance, we have 12 Monkeys, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventures, Butterfly Effect, etc.  Have you ever thought about going back into time?  If you could go back in time as yourself to observe any single event from history, what would you want to witness?  Why this particular event?  Would you want this event to be altered in any way?  Would you try to alter the past?

Topic #1: What do You Want to be Remembered for?

I apologize for making our first blog such a grave topic, but my question to you is as the title reads.  What do you want to be remembered for after you pass away?  I am sure we all want to be remembered in a certain way, so do you feel that you are living your life right now well in that direction?

For me, there are many attributes I want to be remembered for.  If I were to write them all down, it might take a while!  Therefore, I am going to mention one, and that is persevering.  I want to be remembered as one who never wanted to give up and continued to strive forward even when situations did not appear so bright.  I realize that life can be challenging and tough many times.  Nonetheless, I believe we need to continue forward and not dwell within those situations.

What about you??
