IT’S MY BIRTHDAY TODAY! Expect a Fashion<\/a> post real soon. =)<\/p>\n

For now, here’s another question.<\/p>\n

For those of you not familiar with my The Book of Questions<\/i> feature, I select a question from The Book of Questions<\/i> by Gregory Stock, Ph.D., write it up, give my answer, and ask for your answer. I select the not-too-personal questions, and hopefully questions that wouldn’t offend anyone.<\/p>\n

Let’s go!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

\nQUESTION 8:
\nWould you rather be a member of a world championship sports team or be the champion of an individual sport? Which sport would you choose?<\/b><\/p>\n

MY RESPONSE:
\nI’d probably want to be the champion of an individual sport. It kind of sounds selfish, but many humans seek glorification to a certain extent, and it’s easier to be recognized when you’re by yourself than with a team. Yeah. Selfish. Sorry?<\/p>\n

I would pick tennis. I’ve always enjoyed tennis, and being involved with the National Junior Tennis League a few years back strengthened my love for the game. Plus, I’m good at it! So, I choose tennis.<\/i><\/p>\n

All right. I want to know YOUR RESPONSE<\/b> (or questions\/comments on my response).<\/p>\n

Auf wiedersehen!<\/p>\n
