  1. \"\"<\/a>Have you ever been with someone, said nothing, and walked away feeling like you just had the best conversation ever?<\/li>\n
  2. It used to be that at a party one should never discuss religion, sex and politics. Does this still stand? Are there other subjects that need to be added to this list of avoidable conversations?<\/li>\n

  4. Are you more worried about doing things right, or doing the right things?<\/li>\n
  5. When was the last time you lied?\u00a0 Do you lie when you do not voice truth? Is it possible to lie without saying anything at all?<\/li>\n
  6. You\u2019re having lunch with three people you respect and admire.\u00a0 They all start criticizing a close friend of yours, not knowing she is your friend.\u00a0 The criticism is distasteful and unjustified.\u00a0 What do you do?<\/li>\n
  7. Decisions are being made right now.\u00a0 The question is:\u00a0 Are you making them for yourself, or are you letting others make them for you?<\/li>\n

  11. If happiness was the national currency, what kind of work would make you rich?<\/li>\n
