1. Born a few months after JFK was killed
2. Conventional but interesting and generally good without too many problems.
3. Talent is an asset provided it doesn't make one complacent enough to stop working and learning.
4. It's not a matter of what Facebook needs but what Zuck & Co would like it to have. A social media platform will fall apart in no time if there was a dislike button.
5. Too long to research and answer. There is no end to hackneyed words and expressions.

  1. I'm going to be an adult next year.
  2. Fascinated by abstract mysterious forces that build worlds from details.
  3. It depends what you think life is about - if you want to have a good time and chill, talent is more important. But if you want to hone your character, improve your weaknesses, and become a good person, working hard is much more important.
  4. Can't say, I don't use Facebook. It scares me, seeing the mindless crowds all influencing each other.
  5. I think that "sorry" is definitely overused in English. One of my foreign friends was flabbergasted when she heard that in England, if you step on someone's toe, they will apologise to you. She tried it on me without any warning and I actually said sorry automatically! It's nice to be polite but I think us Britishers take it a little too far.
