Is it better to see into the future but not be able to change anything or to have the power to change the future without knowing what's coming or the consequence?

One the one hand, I would love to be able to see the future even if I couldn't change anything. But on the other hand, I couldn't live with myself if I knew I had a chance to make some changes and didn't do it, regardless of the outcome.

So, I'd go with making changes.

Is it better to have book smarts or street smarts?

Firm plans. Spontaneity can produce great results, but you can also end up with a dud. I'd rather make plans.

Is it better to have the respect of your children or your parents?

Boy tough one.......I guess parents (the one thing I DO KNOW is that you never realize how smart your parents REALLY were until you're older)


Is it better to clear the air RIGHT AWAY or wait and collect your thoughts?

That's a tough one it depends on the situation.

Is it better to be blind about misgivings or have grace towardsa person?

Wait and collect your thoughts. I like to clear the air right away, but I that's not always the best way. I think it's better to wait, sit on it, become clear on what you think. Then have the discussion.

But we can say that about all "Is it better" questions, can't we?

I think having grace toward another's misgivings is the best way to go.

Is it better to quit a job you've had for 10 years and start all over in an entry-level position in hopes of doing what you've always wanted to do, or is it better to continue working at a job where you have seniority but it gives you no satisfaction?

OMG I'm currently in this exact situation!! LOL! Well due to financial obligations ; we just bought the house less than a year ago) and my seniority and FMLA for my disabled spouse, I stay at my job with not much satisfaction. But I tell myself I make good money and I have health insurance, etc. However, if I ever hit that lottery I will quit. IS IT BETTER to try alternative medicine (herbs, homeopathy, reiki, accupressure,etc) or stick with traditional medicine the family doctor prescribes?
