What quote/motto do you live by?

If you could have dinner with one person, living or dead, who would you choose and why?

E: Barrack Obama because I want to know three things. (1) When did he know he wanted to run for president/why did he want to run for president? (2) I want to know everything he could tell me about his rise to infamous power and his experiences in the office while balancing a family life (3) Lastly, I want to know what he believes kids age 21-23 should be doing right now to solve the most difficult problems facing our society today. 

Where would you live if you were to move right now?

If you could give your younger self advice what would it be?

E: Say yes to as many things as you can, but know your limitations.

Is your life what you expected it to be from say 5-7 years ago? What would you change?
