What’s a common misconception people have about happiness? I think a misconception about happiness is smiling, you don’t have to be walking around with a smile on your face all day long. I’ve had it before your in work and the manager walks over: “you OK?” “Yes, I’m good thankyou “ “You don’t look happy?” What do they want me to do walk around with a big smile, just so they can see I’m…

What is something you wish you could tell your 20-year-old self? If I could go back and tell my 20-year-old self something, give him some advice it would be:  ‘just do it’, if it feels right.

What’s a cultural tradition from another country that you wish existed in yours? Cultural traditions from other countries like Japan or South Korea, discipline, not forced but the way the people are.

What’s a fear you’ve overcome — and how did you do it? One fear I have is deep water, so to try and overcome it or help me a bit better was to learn to swim. So I started to attend adult swimming classes a few yesrs back and I did learn to swim a bit, but I was very un-fit…I didn’t realise it till I started swimming. I have not been swimming since that day and I am still scared of deep…

Just because someone is loud and shouting doesn’t mean they are confident, so…

So keep your eyes open and you will meet the person of your dreams, if you haven’t already. Continue…

What’s something you’d love to see in the future, but know you probably won’t live to witness? Something I would love to see, but won’t see it in my life time and it most probably will get worse, is normality in the human race.
