PROMPT: Famous Person
If you could switch lives with a famous person for a week, who would it be and why?
View all responses
Being famous seems like it would be a drag, like it would be the worst part of being skilled at, and / or beloved for, some people-facing art. I might like to engage in some of the artistic endeavors, but only if I could pass on the fame.

PROMPT: Stress
How do you manage stress?
View all responses
Through the realization that one packs one’s own load.
Everything is passing weather, how one dials up (or down) the significance of the present situation is up to one (even if the situation, itself, is completely out of one’s hands.) As the Stoics said, either you can or can’t do something about a given event — either way, it’s not worth one’s worry. If you can’t do anything about it, worry is futile. If you can, do the virtuous thing and you can feel content even if it doesn’t seem to work out for you.

PROMPT: Online Course
What’s the best online course you’ve ever taken?
View all responses
I’m doing a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) course presently that is well done. However, I wouldn’t say that I’ve had sufficient experience to make any comparative statements. Most of my education was in the days when you went to the same room the person teaching you was and at the same time they were there. But I knew when self-checkouts came along that we were weaning ourselves away from the last vestiges of non-optional human contact.
