Question needed to ask oneself.

  • Will inertia be your guide, or will you follow your passions?
  • Will you follow dogma, or will you be original?
  • Will you choose a life of ease, or a life of service and adventure?
  • Will you wilt under criticism, or will you follow your convictions?
  • Will you bluff it out when you’re wrong, or will you apologies?
  • Will you guard your heart against rejection, or will you act when you fall in love?
  • Will you play it safe, or will you be a little bit swashbuckling?
  • When it’s tough, will you give up, or will you be relentless?
  • Will you be a cynic, or will you be a builder?
  • Will you be clever at the expense of others, or will you be kind?

How critical am I?

  • Am I a reflective thinker or a distracted thinker?
  • Do I accept things because the people who say them think they are specialist?
  • Do I usually simply say yes? Simply say no?
  • For me, is it only black and white?
  • Have I omitted information on purpose? Because I’m lazy? Because I don’t have time?
  • Do I accept things at face value or investigate them?
  • Do I use deceptive statistics? On purpose? Do I confuse correlation with causation?
  • Do I love confusing my opponents? Or do I confront them directly and rationally?
  • Do I often use ad hominem or straw-man fallacies?
  • Do I jump to conclusion and go straight to the bottom line?
