Short Answer Type Questions
Question 1:
What was the best birthday wish or gift you've ever received?
Answer :
The great trick of regarding small departures from the truth as the truth itself --
on which is founded the entire integral calculus -- is also the basis of our witty
speculations, where the whole thing would often collapse if we considered the
departures with philosophical rigour.
Question 2:
What is the most overrated movie?
Answer :
Act as if the maxim of your action were to become through your will a general
natural law.
Question 3:
How should success be measured? And by that measurement, who is the most successful
person you know?

In recognizing the humanity of our fellow beings, we pay ourselves the highest
tribute.
Question 4:
How should success be measured? And by that measurement, who is the most successful
person you know?
Answer :
Most people sell their souls, and live with a good conscience on the proceeds.
Question 5:
What flavor of ice cream do you wish existed?
Answer :
The most unproductive, empty, fruitless fellow in the world is the man with a
barren heart. Happiness can never reach him, for nothing good and lasting can lodge
in his heart. It is solid as a billiard ball. Contrast this man with his barren
heart with the human that plays the game of life fairly and honestly and is willing
to make others happy by his own sacrifices.
Question 6:
Who had the biggest impact on the person you have become?
Answer :
Ninety-nine per cent of the people in the world are fools and the rest of us are in
great danger of contagion.
Question 7:
Who was the last person you called?
Answer :
Regardless of how you feel inside, always try to look like a winner. Even if you
are behind, a sustained look of control and confidence can give you a mental edge
that results in victory.
Question 8:
Have you traveled to any different countries? Which ones?
Answer :
Plainness has its peculiar temptations quite as much as beauty.
Question 9:
Who is your favorite entertainer (comedian, musician, actor, etc.)?
Answer :
There are many shining qualities on the mind of man; but none so useful as
discretion. It is this which gives a value to all the rest, and sets them at work
in their proper places, and turns them to the advantage of their possessor. Without
it, learning is pedantry; wit, impertinence; virtue itself looks like weakness; and
the best parts only qualify a man to be more sprightly in errors, and active to his
own prejudice. Though a man has all other perfections and wants discretion, he will
be of no great consequence in the world; but if he has this single talent in
perfection, and but a common share of others, he may do what he pleases in his
station of life.
Question 10:
What will phones be like in 10 years?
Answer :
Not pickt from the leaves of any author, but bred amongst the weeds and tares of
mine own brain.
