1.What was the main value that was told to you by those older than you as a teenager?:
The difference between between right and wrong. Honesty was good, and to look at what I had and not what I didn’t have, and that would make me really happy. For example, thinking that I have beautiful parents and that I’m healthy, instead of wishing I have a million dollars would make me happy. Also, thinking that nothing is impossible, the impossible just takes a little longer to achieve. Finally, to never to give up.
2. What determines a good life? A meaningful life?
Happiness determines a good life. Happiness is determined by being content with what you have and looking at the glass as half full rather than half empty. A meaningful life is being able to help out other people and to put others first. If you can think of other people before yourself, you are living a meaningful life.
3. . Do you think that kids today have the potential to live a G & M life? If so, how?
Yes, but I think that it is harder to live a good and meaningful life because there are more temptations around and it was easier for me to be a good person with what was around me. The expectations are also higher for your generation.
4. Does technology affect a G & M life?
It doesn't really affect it directly, but there is less interaction between people now, because when I was your age we had to go hang out instead of calling people and talking online.
5. Do you think that the average teenager from your teen years had more of a G & M life than somebody from our generation of the same age?
I wouldn’t say that, because you can have a very meaningful life in both eras. Things are harder now, we were more naïve back then. Kids today are exposed to a lot more than we were and have a wider understanding of the world than we did.
