I figured it would only be fair to tell you where the questions came from and to answer the questions as well. So here goes...
Is
it better to have a broad shallow knowledge of much or a narrow deep knowledge
of something specific? 1/2
This question was posed in a book I was reading. It made me think of all of the people I know who have lots of knowledge and little expertise and those who have much expertise and little else.
My answer is that I feel it is best to have a broad knowledge base but finding things that interest you in order to have a deeper understanding is awesome.
Which
is more important wisdom or intelligence? 1/3
This question was posed when I heard someone say wisdom and intelligence are the same thing. It isn't in my book. Many intelligent people are not wise and many wise people are not intelligent. I have met many special needs individuals who may not be the most intelligent but have been very wise. Which leads me to believe that wisdom comes from understanding, love kindness, and some growth.
My answer is that to be intelligent is nice but being wise is better and having a good balance of both is best!
Is
it better to be street smart or book smart? 1/4
This question was posted because I have really strong feelings about being smart and I know there are a number of ways to be smart. Everyone has sense but not everyone has common sense.
My answer is life smart is best. I mean learning everything you can along the way and not narrowing in on one way to learn. Experiences are awesome, learning by watching others is great and proactively picking up a book are the best way to get a well rounded set of smarts!

Is
it always black or white? Or do you see shade of gray? 1/5
This question is about rules and following them.
My answer is nothing is ever black and white. Gray surrounds us yet the rules are there so we may make informed choices. I also see a rainbow of possibilities.

When
it comes to obstacles do you avoid them, go around them, climb over them or
knock them down? 1/6
This question came from watching people make mistakes.
My answer is every obstacle is there to help us learn and grow. How we choose to overcome each obstacle is up to us but learning from each experience with obstacles is what counts most. So yes I will climb over, barrel through and go around when I need to but I don't like to let things stop me from progressing forward.

Do
you learn by watching, by hearing how or by doing? 1/7
This question comes from a study that claims we all learn the same way. I disagree because in the classroom I have seen kids who only get it if they approach the question in a way that works for them.
My answer is I learn from watching and doing most of the time. I like to read about how to do things but never perfect anything until I try it myself a few times.

Hot
and spicy or sweet and tangy? 1/8
This question was posed to see perspective. Did people think I was asking about personality or food.
My answer for food is I like to taste my food so more spicy than hot or and more tangy than sweet for me. As far as my personality I think I am a little more on the sweet and tangy side but I have been known to have a little kick as well.

Some
days I question everything. Other days I question nothing. What do you
question? 1/9
This question was more about wondering if anyone was actually noticing a question every day. I don't know if anyone is really paying too close of attention.
My answer is I am naturally curious and want to know so yes I'll probably ask.

Do
you ever wonder if people actually look in the mirror in the morning after they get ready for
the day? 1/10
This question came from watching people looking ridiculous and wondering if they even own a mirror.
My answer is yes I wonder if people look in the mirror before they start out in the morning and often wonder if the mirror is at time totally neglected by some people.

What
does your perfect day look like? 1/11
This question came after hearing a snippet of the song "Perfect Day" from Legally Blonde.
My perfect day is a day spent with family and or friends, with no drama, lots of laughter and usually good food.

What
is your limit? 1/12
This was a random question posed to see what people would respond with. I mean the limit to what should have come up.
My answer is I have limited everything so I take advantage of every blessing and see blessings for what they are.

What
scares you? 1/13
This question was posted after seeing a post of paraskevidekatriaphobia, which is the illogical fear of Friday the 13th.
My answer is I don't think I have any real phobias but I do detest creepy things (bugs, spiders, reptiles etc) sneaking up on me. I wouldn't say they scare me so much as startle me. I do get anxious from time to time & you can startle me however overall I don't get scared much.

Do
you seek guidance or try to do it all on your own? 1/14
I love this question in general even though it just popped up randomly.
My answer is yes. I do what I can on my own but I know when to ask for help when I need it. I am not above asking for help or advice.

What
would you do differently? 1/15
This question was prompted by someone whining about their life.
My answer is I would probably do everything about the same since I didn't have the wisdom then to do better. Given the wisdom of time I have today I might have changed a few things but still not much. I love my kids and I have great friends.

How
easily can others change your mood? 1/16
This question was also prompted by other people whining about their lives.
My answer is not as easily as in years past. Mood is more about attitude and I'm working hard to keep a positive one.

What
do you want to be when you grow up? 1/17
This question was posed after someone said they never want to grow up.
My answer is to be a good grandparent, parent and friend. There is nothing wrong with growing up as long as you are young at heart and in spirit.

Do
you take advantage of every day as the gift it is? 1/18
This question was prompted by people who have much not seeming to appreciate what or who they have.
My answer is I try to appreciate every day. I do not always live every day to the fullest but that would be exhausting. I share my world with other people I willingly give much and thus do not always give as much to myself.

How
important is change? 1/19
This was just a random question.
My answer is very. Without Change the world would become boring and growth would be impossible.
Is curiosity a talent? 1/20
This question prompted by a quote, "I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious." To which I said, "Everyone has a talent... some way better than others. Can you imagine how much better the world would be if everyone passionately used their talents and their curiosity?" Which made me wonder if anyone thought curiosity is a talent.
My answer is yes. I believe curiosity is a tool and a talent if used well and right.

Do
you ever wonder how little people (ages about 2 to 6) come up with all of those
random questions? 1/21
This question was prompted by a video post of a toddler's questions.
My answer is I always wonder not only how they come up with the questions they ask but what happens to the passion to know the answers once they get a few years older and why does the brain appear to leave in some people once puberty hits.

What
makes your day better? 1/22
Again looking at people whining prompted this post.
My answer is it depends on the day but some things always make my day better. My kids, grandkids, family and friends always make my day better!

Is
your mechanic good and nice? 1/23
This question prompted by my mechanic.
My answer is absolutely. He fixed two cars in less than 4 hours for $40. Both cars work and my pocketbook expected at least $20 to $30 more on that tab. I love when that happens.

Are
you happy? 1/24
This question was prompted by a friend who once said he wondered what happiness is and if he will ever be happy.
My answer is I am content and content is good. Happy is a bonus that happens nearly every day several times a day for a little while anyway.
What is your favorite noise? 1/25
This question was posted on the tail of a post asking for a favorite sound. Kids laughing and rain being the top two answers but I wanted to know what noise is on the top.
I'm going with the local racetrack noise. It is a combination the hum of the cars and the cheer of the crowd. My favorite everything does change on a regular basis but as I write the track wins!
What makes you tick? 1/26
This question is totally random.
My answer the people I love who sustain me and learning which keeps me from getting bored.
Who do you love? 1/27
This question is in honor of the big V day coming up next month and all of the people on my list.
My answer is I have a list of family and friends I love. There is always room in my heart to love more.
Exactly what makes someone a "foodie"? Is it liking food or being willing to try anything once? 1/28
This question was posted after reading and looking at what seemed like endless restaurant check ins, food announcements (like what I ate/made/am thinking about eating) and food photos?
My answer is I think being a foodie is about the enjoyment of food more than just liking food because we all have to eat and we are drawn to what we like. I don't think it is solely trying any food because I know some pretty pick people who love and obsess about food. Nope I think foodies are people who really enjoy the sight, smell and eating food. I also believe to be a true foodie you must find balance enough not to obsess or over eat.
Is it premeditation if you don't go through with it? 1/30 (It should have been 1/29 but I skipped a day.)
This question was posted because of a past relationship with premeditation and no follow through. I was thinking about this concept while watching "Minority Report" years ago and again recently after watching "Person of Interest."
My answer is I hope not.
What is that smell? 1/30 (I posted two for 1/30 since I missed a post on 1/29.)
This question is common in our house. It is usually related to me cooking, painting, staining or something else that emits a smell but not always about me.
My answer today the smells have been chili, stain, and citrus.
Did you notice that I posted questions nearly every day this month? 1/31
This question was to see just how many people noticed and is leading to this blog post.
The answer is I did notice. I even noticed the day I missed posting a question. I appreciate the people who answered my random questions although I'm not sure anyone caught on to the daily questions this month.
It is good to know people read my posts and I didn't have to ask people to repost to prove they did. I hate those stupid repost posts. The ones that bug me most are the ones that either ask me to pray (I already do) and repost or prove I love God (those who know me know I do) by reposting or honor/remember those fighting/dieing from one disease or another (there are few diseases who haven't touched my life through friends or family and I honor all of them) but I don't need to prove it by reposting something you reposted that has been going around since social networking began.
Please be aware I read your posts. I pay attention even if I don't comment or "like" them. I appreciate your friendship and I love your willingness to share your life with me. To those who make me ponder the grand scheme of things and especially to those who make me laugh/giggle or smile thank you very very much!
