Every Life is Different
- Look back so you can go forward.
- Tell us about the time and place you were born.
- What advice could you offer those who are coming after you?
- What would you like your epitaph to say? (“There was stuff up after stuff up, but I was never knocked down!”)
- Is there anything you would like to say sorry for?
- Is there anything you were too ashamed to tell us? Or are you still too ashamed? - Can you tell us about the 5 or 6 greatest days (or moments) in your life? (Arriving in Docks in South Africa after spending 12 months in the outback.)
- Tell us about some of your earliest memories? Are most of them happy? (Cricket in - backyards, School footy team, my first girlfriend and first I ever kissed.) - What about your first year at school?
- What about your last year at school?
- What do you think your parents thought of you as a child? (They thought I was a cheeky little shit!)
- Ancestors? Do you know much about them? (Only stories of Ireland, Germany, WWII, the Depression and how life was so hard.)
- Please tell us about your greatest fear or failure.
- Please tell us about your most exciting day or adventure so far.
- Please tell us about your greatest disappointment.
- Please tell us about your most rewarding experience.
- Please tell us about the riskiest thing you’ve done.
- Regrets! We all have a few! What is your deepest regret?
- Do you believe in Heaven and a God? If you do, does that mean you believe in an afterlife?
- Do we somehow get rewarded if we have behaved well in this life?
WHAT or WHO WILL REWARD YOU? And what form will it take?
