What positive emotion do you feel most often?
I had to look at several web articles just to get some clarity on what are positive emotions. Here is an example. There are many options to choose.
I would go with “altruism”. I enjoy giving and serving people.
What’s the story behind your nickname?
What’s funny is that I don’t really have a widely-used nickname. People either use my first or last name. However, there are several cases where certain individuals have their own personal nickname for me.
Dogs or cats?
Neither. I prefer to have fish in an aquarium. There’s something so serene about watching animals operate in water just living. This hypothetical would be the centerpiece of a peaceful environment.
But if I have to choose, I would go with dogs.
If humans had taglines, what would yours be?
“Speak truth. Shift minds. Leave legacy.”
This is what was given to me by ChatGPT. I really like it. It’s pretty profound, wouldn’t you say?
This prompt that I gave it this morning also speaks of how much information it can analyze and process to generate a result especially when it’s based on the information (personal and public) that we give this chatbot. But that will be a discussion for another post.
What are your morning rituals? What does the first hour of your day look like?
Here’s a new answer. Have you seen the latest morning routine of Ashton Hall, a fitness influencer. I think it’s a new and creative approach to the morning routines. It’s certainly garnered a bunch of views and responses.
I like his routine but it may not be for me. I don’t like waking up as early because I would have to go to sleep early. That is something I’m learning to adapt.
Here’s Ashton’s morning routine:

Pick one of your dreams, and describe how you’d bring it to life.
I don’t normally post these, but here we go. I would love to visit Buenos Aires (or another city in the southern hemisphere) during the summer solstice. I lived my entire life in the states and therefore the summer solstice begins in June. However since the seasons are inverted in the south, the summer would begin in December, close to Christmas. That would be a cool experience and thus one of my dreams.
What books do you want to read?
There are so many. The one book that was recommended to me was the Sovereign Individual. It’s in my Apple library. I can’t wait to get to reading it.
What makes a good leader?
We are all imperfect as human beings. However, being a leader is quite a role, and requires certain qualities in spite of those imperfections. A leader must have a vision, integrity, and most importantly, a servant’s heart.
There will be more to come.
What is your favorite animal?
There are so many of them.
I would have to say a dog. Most types of dogs can be domesticated and are typically loyal creatures. There are many varieties that have been used in herding, like the border collie, which I find fascinating.
Another example are pit bulls. Back in the 19th and early 20th centuries, they were used to baby sit little babies. They typically aren’t used for that purpose anymore. (I wonder what happened there.)
Dogs are my favorite animal. They can be household creatures and show an immense amount of loyalty.
Where can you reduce clutter in your life?
I can probably reduce the clutter in my bedroom physically. Electronically, I have a bunch of emails that I have not touched since I started using email. They are mostly spam but I’d like to take a look at them at least.
