    If I go with happiness that means I will have low IQ? In that case I would prefer high IQ. But If I can have my current IQ percentage or at least an average IQ, I would go with happiness.

    1. No. Unless I had a chance to come back, I would go to the future.
    2. Yes. Perhaps a close friend of mine, who agrees with this journey too.
    3. If I had the choice, I would go very far. Beyond centuries.

    No, I often try not to say something that I don’t mean it. Because otherwise, I feel like I’m being disingenuous, which I try my best not to be. I don’t really like to just say something good to somebody only because they had admired me. And in return, when I praise someone and they say something good back to me, I’ll wonder whether they really mean it, or they were just trying to be polite?

    I’d guess that it depends on the person and the consequences which have fallowed that incident.

    A group including seven young people, which I am one of them, would go on an adventure through a jungle in south eastern Asia, looking for the huge famous statue of an holy person which is gone missing since 200 years ago. They should be prepared for everything through this journey; dangerous and wild animals, swamps and poisonous plants and fruits, unpredictable weather and the last but not least, unknown tribes of forest people.

    1. when I last year wanted to enter university and it was the time of selecting course and universities, instead of mechanical engineering I decided to chose another way and continue music and art.
    2. Whenever I wanted to find and make a new friend, I used my intuition and fortunately we turned out to be good friends.
    3. Yes I do. Because most of the time it has worked for me in my important choices and in my stressful dilemma situations. And I guess intuition guides you to your true path.

    I really wanted to know about the future of the world. I wanted to now what will happen in the future and when and how will the situation get better.
    And regarding my personal life, I would prefer that the crystal ball show me if I published a book and do people like it or does it become popular.

    1. I suppose they get so much involved with making a living for their children, so that they can have the best lives.
    2. Private life to me is the quality of the relationship between me and my family and my own mental health. And yes; I do really care about my private life, and I really try to keep my private life steady and healthy.
    3. I guess they both are important that there should be a balance.
    4. I think professional success is only one of the main factors of reaching happiness but not whole of it. And if we get to much involved with work, there would be no free time to spend with our family and ourselves.

    1. Although I really try to do not judge people by their appearance, but I’ll be still a bit influenced by people’s physical appearance at the first sight.
    2. I think it would have much effect on me. Maybe it affects on my self confidence.
    3. Well I guess I can reach whatever I want with a certain amount of hard work. I am not very smart nor a genius but I am quit satisfied with my IQ degree, so I am gonna choose beauty.

    1. If you asked me this question a month ago, I would have said that no. I think that time is just flying by at lights speed, and I do not know what is really going on. I really felt like the seconds, minuets and hours are vanishing away from my hands like sand.
    2. I suppose I did not get up early and that made me really feel bad about myself. and I spend to much of my time wasting on social media.
    3. I guess the older I am getting, the more I realize how much time managing is important.
    4. Yes and no. Because I still have a long way a head of me.

    On the other hand he just could not leave the scholarship thing behind, it was his dream, his goal, his life and many years of his life studying as hard as he could to reach this point. While taking a walk, he thought the world is just spinning around him. What a dilemma! What should he do? What was the right thing? And obviously he could not take his mom with him; they could not afford it. This was not even a choice. After a few minutes he came up with an idea; to go to the collage and take his mom to hospital and visit him on the weekends. He thought it was a fair choice, his mind was calmer now. He said to himself that maybe it is the best thing and he could go to college and take care of his mom. He took a deep breath, on his way it was a recording store. “Let’s go and buy some music records!” Jack said to himself. While he was checking around, he heard a beautiful music playing, he closed his eyes and chuckled until he heard music saying: “Heavens! But how about an ungrateful child, ungrateful child; a heartless child, cruel child…” He suddenly felt dizzy again, he could not bear standing there for one single second. He said to himself. ” Okay, maybe that was just a sign to change my choice. I won’t leave my mother, that’s what I am going to do, when my mom is better, then I will attend to collage, I will wait one more year.” On his way he noticed a book store. He felt that he could buy a new book. He entered and first book he saw was a poetry book, he opened a page and started reading: “How a man can be certain, if he can see tomorrow’s dawn again? What simply can living mean? If it is not meant to chase after your dreams?” That was it. It could not be any better. What on earth was really going on? If it was a sign too, which one should he go after?

    1. I usually think a lot about the past and the future, I try really hard to be in present moment but it is actually a bit hard for me.
    I believe that my past mistakes made me to be the person I am today. So I do not see them as mistakes but just experiences.
    2. I believe if my goals be set as to help people and have a good effect on earth and other creatures, then this is what I consider as satisfying life.
    3. I most probably would be depressed.

    1. I really pay attention to what kinds of people I am gathering around myself. It is really important to me and I spent lots of time in high school that are my friends good persons? Or I am sticking to them because I am just trying to be nice and can not say no, or because they are really nice people and I can learn from them.
    2. People who have wide attitude and talk politely and are open minded.
    3. I am a quiet person and can’t open up with others easily at all unless I am really comfortable with those people and I know them. So, when I am with my friends I can easily talk and share my thoughts with out worrying to be judged.
    4. I really do not know the answer to this question. It would be easier If I ask others to figure out. I hope it would I come up with nice answers.
    5. I absolutely believe in this proverb. It is a good and easy way to have a first general acquaintance on someone.

    in reply to: Will you Forgive Your Friends Unconditionally #103660

    1. I consider myself as a forgiving person, once I had a friend at sixth grade who after the entrance examination, was jealous of me and talked to me in a bad way, we are not in touch anymore, but I forgived her, because I still remember that she was my friend ( my only friend) when I had just moved to Shiraz and did not know anyone and we had such good memories.
    2. Of course the bigger deal it is and the more trust you have on someone( somebody) , the harder it is to forgive. Fortunately I have not been betrayed hat hard from a friend yet,
    but I guess that forgiving makes it easier for you to let go, to have peace, I do not like it that it sounds cliche, but you do not forgive to have mercy on someone, but you forgive for your own good.
    3. You are a boss and you are betrayed from one of your employees \ coworkers. They have crossed the red line and this have broken your heart, you forgive them but that does not mean that you still let them work for you. You fire them but you also forgive them and you do not have to say this right to their face, because forgivness is a inner decision, you forgive them to save yourself from all those overthinking and hate that comes next.

    1: In response to the first question, Yes! I would certainly panicked for the first few days and for sure I would got an insomnia. But I am not sure that if I would got horrid nightmares too or not.

    2: When I was in the 10th grade, I had really bad sleeps, I had horrific nightmares and for a few months I sufferd from insomnia. After a few time I realized It was because of the huge amount of stress that I had.
    Now days , to avoid nightmares and insomnia, I meditate before sleeping to calm my brain and turn of my thoughts.
