wanted to do
1. People often say "My dream is to .. [do
X]" . So what is your big dream in life?
2. Should we just have a
good time now and not worry about tomorrow ('live for the moment')? Or
should we make some sacrifices now to have a better life in the future?
Defend your point of view.
3. If you had a guaranteed basic
income forever (just enough to live on), what would you do with the rest
of your life?
4. What is some place you would really like to
visit? Why?
5. Imagine if babies could choose their parents and
where to be born. If you were a baby like that, what kind of parents
would you choose, and what country would you choose to be born in? Why?
6. Imagine if babies could choose their gender and all their other
qualities. If you were a baby like that, would you choose to be a girl
or a boy? What other qualities would you choose to have? Why?
7.
When you were a child, what did you think you would do when you grew up?
How have your ideas about that changed?
8. a) What is the most
interesting question in you life now? b) When do you think you will get
an answer to that interesting question?
9. What is stopping or
delaying you from doing the things you really want to do?

the last day of your life, when you look back, what do you think you
might be pleased about? What do you think you might regret?
