LifeSpan Interview Questions

2. What is your most favorite thing that you do every day?

- Taking time to listen to my wife each morning,
- And to watch my children prosper and my grandchildren grow.
-
3. What is your least favorite thing that you do every day?
-
- Not to meet the goals I started out to do that morning. I compartmentalize my mind to problem solving. Each day is a new challenge. As I need to solve a problem, mine or someone else, I put what I am doing into a drawer and close it in my mind.
- I then pull out either an empty drawer and start a new or a working drawer to complete that I have been problem solving.
- When I must deal with others problems, I create a new place to store the problem, so as not to allow the contents to spill out into my other drawers in my vast mental filing cabinet.
- I am very successful with my methods of not mixing problems and by leaving on the shelf those items that cannot be solved at that time.
- Worries waste my time; therefore I do not allow unforeseen worrisome events to mare my thinking.
-
4. Who is the most important person in your life? Why?

5. What do you most look forward to and hope for?
-
- Keeping my mind to the day I die.

The years that I have invested can be enjoyed by other younger and more willing people to learn in a far shorter time frame by putting my knowledge without my failings into their work.
-
8. What is your biggest fear in life?
-

12. Before you were successful . . . . . .
