What Would The World’s Most Interesting Person Do?

My younger sister Therese has been freaking out about which college to attend.  I think people are often frozen by indecision.  “What should I do???,” seems to be a nagging question for most, especially before you discover some really good answers.

Here’s a thought experiment that I’ve often used:

Imagine the coolest and most interesting person you can think of.  What would they do?

Unfortunately, people seem to think they aren’t able to do cool and interesting things, so they fail to consider all the options and overlook the cool things that are out there.  It seems to be easier to think more clearly and openly when you take the focus off yourself.

I don’t know about you, but my goal is to be the most interesting man in the world.  I want to say that I say this in jest, but I’m not so sure…..

I suppose we’ll see how this works out for me.  But, I’m pretty sure with this goal in mind, I’ll at least be interested.

Try the thought experiment out some time. Let me know what you think.
