This is week fifteen in my personal “If… Project” in which I answer questions from the book “If… (Questions for the Game of Life)”
There are 125 pages of this book, each with four questions. I plan to take one page each week and answer the questions as thoroughly and honestly as I am able. In addition, I invite you to answer the questions along with me, whether it be in the comments section, your own personal blog, or just within your own thoughts.
Perhaps in doing so, we will get to know each other better, but even more importantly, get to know ourselves better.
This week’s questions:
If you could have one specific power over other people, what would it be?
I think the most beneficial power I could have over other people would be the power of persuasion. Having the ability to convince someone to do most anything is very powerful and the possibilities would be limitless as to what I was able to persuade people to do.
If you had to lose everyone you know in a tragic accident except one person, who would you choose to survive?
What a horrible horrible question. I’ve spent the past week with this question marinating in my head, and every time I take a moment to consider it, I’m instantly turned off by it, and move on without giving it a moment’s thought. The only answer I can possibly come up with is that if I had to lose that many people I love, then it wouldn’t matter who the survivor was because I’d be far too devastated for it to even remotely matter.
If you could have one meal from your past exactly as it was, which would you repeat?
I would pick the meal from the first time I ate at Boma. The food was shockingly delicious. The personalized service I got from the chef blew my mind. And the company was wonderful. It was a meal where all aspects came together to make a truly memorable meal.
If you could become famous for doing something that you don’t currently do, what would it be?
I would love to be a television personality.
Those are my answers to this week’s questions. What are yours?
