Think hard ...What are the 10 most important things in your life ? I have a theory, even though we may all come from different cultures, we will have similar priorities in life. But what will interest me further is the way the list is prioritized ? In other words what is on the top of your list and bottom of your list.Think of the things you cannot do without, Its interesting to see where money comes in relation to other priorities.There is no wrong answer. Personally my list goes something like this....by the way have you considered thinking that you list may change as your life changes ? My List 1 My health (If I dont have my health, how can I care for others ?) 2 Family 3 Friends 4 Community 5 Peace 6 Freedom 7 unconditional love 8 to leave earth in a better place for others 9 to continue to grow as a person and help others. 10 Money ....if I have all the above ...this will natually come ...infact it would be on the bottom of my list.

If you are stranded on an island. What would you take with you and why ? Okay lets make this more interesting. What happens if you have a choice to stay on this island and you can choose what to bring with you ? You know you are going to be here for a while...what would you also bring ?

What brings you the most pleasure in life ? Thankyou for all those who have responded. I chose this question because its very simple but also interesting as it has a number of layers to it, like a cake. I notice some people didn't think it was of help to them. I challenge them to think about this question more and read the replies. If I can explain, this question itself it not very important but its the answers which are. Everyone is different, there are no right or wrong answers. The answers as you will notice will be all different and interesting as it gives an insight into who we are. On another layer it crosses our cultural boundaries and interests and shows that we are all human beings and share whats most important to us in our lives. From learning english point of view, reading, comprehension and grammer. Your feedback is appreciated. I have more questions if you are interested.

Why is it so dangerous to drive on the roads in China ? I have noticed from my experience over a number of years that the driving safety has not improved. I have wondered why this is so ? Is it the standard of training ? or is it the peoples disregard to rules or lack of consideration to other people ?
