As we enter Christmas and New Year’s festivities, inevitably, we will find ourselves at cocktail parties or dinner settings where we will be reaching for a topic of discussion. To help us through this\u00a0season, By George Journal<\/em> provides observations and questions that will serve as perfect conversation starters. Here are a dozen questions to start us off \u2013 enjoy your talks!<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. How old would you be if you didn\u2019t know how old you are?<\/li>\n
  2. What one thing have you not done that you really want to do? What\u2019s holding you back?<\/li>\n
  3. What is your happiest childhood memory?\u00a0 What makes it so special?<\/li>\n
  4. If you had to move to a state or country besides the one you currently live in, where would you move and why?<\/li>\n
  5. What is the one thing you\u2019d most like to change about the world?<\/li>\n
  6. If you could offer a newborn child only one piece of advice, what would it be?<\/li>\n
  7. If you just won a million dollars, would you quit your job?<\/li>\n
  8. Would you rather be a worried genius or a joyful simpleton?<\/li>\n
  9. What are you most grateful for?<\/li>\n
  10. Have you been the kind of friend you want as a friend?<\/li>\n
  11. Which is worse, when a good friend moves away, or losing touch with a good friend who lives right near you?<\/li>\n
  12. In 5 years from now, will you remember what you did yesterday?\u00a0 What about the day before that?\u00a0 Or the day before that? What can you do tomorrow that you\u2019ll remember in 5 years? Are you going to do it?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
