1. Think of the thing you fear the most that has stopped you from doing something you've wanted to do. Without revealing the fear or the action it is stopping, how long have you allowed that fear to get in your way?

Only a few decades.

2. Of the people who've had the greatest impact on your life, which one would you most like to have the greatest impact on?

My son. [though I'm not sure I understand the question completely]

3. If you didn't know how old you truly were and someone asked your age, based on how you feel about yourself and society itself, how old would you think you were?

I would estimate my age to be 45-50. Which is accurate.

4. A quote attributed to Bruce Lee tells us we should "Be happy, but never satisfied." Are you often more happy or more satisfied?

I'm neither...or both. To me, being satisfied is being happy.

5. If you had a close friend who spoke to you with the same intensity and criticism you used when speaking to yourself, would you want that friend to stay in your life?

Hell no! They'd make a good coach or therapist if they had a bit of tact, though.

6. You are invited to speak at a graduation ceremony and give advice to the students, but you are told that because of the sheer number of graduates, you’ll only have 30 seconds to speak. What important advice will you the graduates in those 30 seconds?

Don't listen to what other people tell you you "should" do. Do the next right thing. And then the next. And then the next. And so on for the rest of your life.
