How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are?

I love this question and want to ask the same question to buffalobison@buffalobison. I think she has no idea how old she is until she hears her knees crack. Since I moved to Korea different people count ages in different ways. So I basically lost track of how old I really am. I spend all day with elementary school students. They often ask how old I am. I have answered anywhere from 17 to 103 depending on how I felt at the moment.

Should you do the right things or should you do things right?

The answer to this question of course is "YES! You should!" and "NO! YOU shouldn't". No one has any idea of what is right these days. Let's say you do all the "right things" but later discover these things were really the wrong things. It's kind of a sad life. On the other hand the one who works on getting things done right accomplishes a task and does it with pride and perfection. He may be a scientist working on a theory of relativity. Years later he finds his work is used to destroy others.

I often think of Rudyard Kipling's Poem:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

If an ambulance is on its way to save someone, and it runs someone over, does it stop to help them?

This one is really unexpected and in doing so delivers a punchline and dilemma. By law the ambulance driver is required to stop if he hits anyone. He would be responsible for dealing with a hit and run if the driver continued on his duty. The first thing for the driver to do is to report to the dispatcher who sent him. After an exchange of information the ambulance driver may be sent to complete his original emergency duty or another car may be called depending on the severity of the circumstance. I think if I was the driver I would have already peed in my pants.
