1. Greatest good you've done.
Probably the 2 and a half-3 years I spent working voluntarily and in a paid capacity with intellectually disabled young people. People say it's selfless work, but ashamedly, it isn't entirely. It is very rewarding, though not the reason anyone should do this. Everyone wins though. Respite for people who are in such difficult situations is so important.
2. Way you've let yourself down.
[martyr]Spending too long doing what I've thought I should do instead of what I wanted to do, being a welfare worker aside, working in business and other office environments instead of persuing my art, after my social worker stint burned me out. [/martyr]
3. What ideal do you hold tenaciously onto?
The importance of life, and what you do in this life. Always.
4. What ideal are you saddest about losing?
Selflessness. See above with the welfare biz. Burning out was the end of it. I could have found a way to keep going, or at least I argue with myself ocasionally about it.
5. Who or what are you envious of?
Anyone who has that inner calm and zen thing. Learn me on it! Please!
6. What's your biggest insecurity?
Insecurity itself. I dont deal too well with not feeling like I have control.
7. How has your job let you down? How have you let your job
down?
I've done the half arsed approach before. That says it all.
8. What is the key to your happiness? Have you achieved it?
Letting happiness itself be a goal. Seek it, grab it, promote it, spread it. Doing what you love makes for happy people. Happy people have a flow-on effect. I think I have just about achieved it. It would be selfish to suggest otherwise I think. lol
9. With what tenet of the opposite political persuasion do you
(secretly?) agree?
In the American standard here on this forum I dont fit either. I agree with some and not others etc. Same with Australian politics actually. I have balanced dislike for both the ALP and Liberal parties.
