Life: the shortest book you'll ever read

Life

This isn't really a book or paper, it's something in-between. Nobody told me to write this. It wasn't assigned by a teacher especially because I got expelled last week. But hey, one time for the one time. A lot of people in the world, think about a lot of questions. A lot of unknown and unanswered questions. That's what this is about. 30 questions that are often thought by people and are never answered. My answers to these questions are probably not going to be right, but it's just my opinion on them. I guess let's get this thing started.

1. Is it worse to fail at something or never attempt it in the first place?

The definition of fail is to be unsuccessful in achieving one's goal. To be successful you have to be unsuccessful at some point. If everyone never failed, we would live in a perfect world. Failing wouldn't exist. But to win, you have to fail. If there is no failing, there is no winning. If you don't attempt new things, how can you accept to be successful? You can't be scared to fail sometimes, because everyone in their life is going to fail at some point. It's a part of life.

2. If you could choose just one thing to change about the world, what would it be?

The world needs a lot of changes. The change I would make would be to make people not afraid of change. People are creatures of habit. Some people think if it's not broke, why fix it? I see where they are coming from. If you don't change, you can't progress. For example, people that are gay. Many people believe that love should be for a man and woman. The world is changing. More and more people are accepting that. It all goes back to being afraid to fail.

3. To what extent do you shape your own destiny, and how much is down to fate?

You can shape your own destiny to full extent. You control your life. If you fuck up, you're going to pay the price at some point. Nobody can tell you how your life is going to end up. It's YOUR life. Not theirs. Fate is something that is destine to happen. It's something that is supposed to happen. Just like your destiny, fate is something you can change.

4. Does nature shape our personalities more than nurture?

Nurture is the care of something or the encouragement to develop. While nature is the basic features of something. Everyone and everything is born with nature. Its apart of you. Nurture is something you get. Not all people or living things have it. My opinion, nature is something that shapes are personalities more than nurture. When you are born with a basic feature like nature, it's something you are always going have. Unfortunately, you may not always have nurture.

5. Should people care more about doing the right thing, or doing things right?

Who honestly gets to say what is right and wrong. Right and wrong is an instinct. Deep down, everyone knows the difference. But people have different definitions of right and wrong. Maybe what I see right, you may see wrong. Sometimes doing the right thing can be wrong. I would have to go with doing things right is more important.



6. What one piece of advice would you offer to a newborn infant?

One piece of advice I would offer to a newborn would be to live life to the fullest because you don't know when it's going to end. When I die, I want to be satisfied with my life. You have one go at it, just one. At this very moment, I am Sydney Hannah at 10:34 pm on January 26, 2017 one time. This moment will never come back. You live as yourself once, yes you're going to screw up as some point, but I think life is about what you do once when you screw up. Are you going to give up or are you going to get up?

7. Where is the line between insanity and creativity?

Everyone is born with creativity. I think creativity is like a mild case of insanity. Creativity is something that comes from inside you. It's how you develop things. Insanity is like creativity on steroids. Some say a mental illness. I guess the line between them is sanity.
