Hope and Freedom Today was a rollercoaster of a day for me. I had intended completing the FRIENDS series I have been writing, but it seems that is for another time. My phone has been down for most of the day and I haven't been home too. Came back this evening only to charge as I watched the UEFA Champions League final between Liverpool and Real Madrid. I must say what a game it was. I really enjoyed it. Liverpool had started the game brightly, but Madrid were calm and composed and stuck with the game plan they came with. In the end, they scored the only goal which was what separated the two teams at full-time. Since it was practically past my writing time and to meet my publishing time, I had to pull out this draft. Got the questions from Olasquare earlier this week and saved it for moments like this. You can read his version here. Let's get on with it, eh? https://read.cash/@Olasquare/choices-b1b648f5 **Intelligent or funny?** I don't know why one can't be intelligent and funny or why there's the impression that intelligent people aren't funny. Well, I would choose intelligent over funny, we can develop the sense of humour later if lacking. Besides, I think you need to be intelligent to understand most of my jokes. **Freedom or hope?** I am a bit confused here ๐ . What if I am hoping for freedom? Or my freedom is to have hope? ๐ Don't mind me, I am trying to be philosophical or perhaps trying to convince myself. Hahaha. I think freedom gives me the leverage to do or be whatever I want. So I'll choose Freedom over hope. **Success or happiness?** Aren't both intertwined and completes the other? So I don't want much time, I will like to successfully choose happiness I can't imagine what success is without happiness. Would be bland. Shouldn't success bring happiness too? I guess there is not standard yardstick to measure success, it is subjective from one individual to another. **Money or free time?** ๐๐๐๐ For real, what kind of question is this? Can't money be made in my free time? Oh well, I will trade my free time for money, one million for every two seconds haha. I'd be wealthy isn't it? That is not to undermine the importance of freetime though. It can be spent doing productive things or with family,or just resting after all the hustle. **Handmade gifts or expensive gifts?** Really does depends on who is giving this to me. But I feel one that has been made by hand will be more special to me because of the time and effort that has been put into making the gift. Needless to say, I haven't received much gifts in my lifetime, just a few times when people gifted me things. Believe me, I can count on one hand. ๐ **Hunting or saving?** I remember asking who'd pick hunting over saving. But after further thought, I suppose it depends on the individual. All things considered, I'd pick saving instead. At least, I get to keep something for the future wherein I can afford to go hunting then .๐๐๐ **Trip or staycation?** Trip to where? I have always wanted to travel the world and explore places, see the world and bear witness to Its beauty. Perhaps after living my dream I'd start picking a staycation so I don't have to travel about hehe. Be close to family. `Thank You For Reading ๐ค๐ค` Thanks for the sponsorship renewal @foryoubtc09 I am so happy for your continuous support and really appreciate it from the bottom of my heart.

If success does not bring happiness then what is the need of success, Instead of wasting our free time, we should do something that gives us money,
You are right about that.
You're right, what's the essence of without happiness? I can't trade my happiness for anything, but everyone is in the vouch to be successful though and I'll choose intelligence over being funny... If I will chose from this preference, I will go for almost all the ones that youchoosee
That is to say we have some things in common.
Yeah, something like that ๐
I laughed when I saw these questions and responses posted by Olasquare. Like yours, his responses were super funny too, lol! Honestly, I felt like some of the questions were trick questions. Like, who would choose hunting over saving? lol And my friend, how would you find the time to travel and see the world when you traded all your free time for money? Hahaha!
๐๐ perhaps I can travel the world on business trips. Two birds one stone. Haha
That intelligent vs funny was a hard choice sha but I will still choose intelligence, no be everytime person go dey laugh, at least still get sense to engage in intelligent conversations ๐
๐๐๐๐ Talk to me directly, no dey follow corner ๐ช๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ช๐ช๐ข๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
๐ just dey whine yourself
I think you forgot to add the link to Olasquare's post :D Saving this one again though for future post.
Oh, that is true, forgot to do that. Let me do so now. Thanks for noticing.
Money all day, what's my own with free time ๐๐
๐๐๐ I just tire.
Lol ๐ "one million for every two seconds indeed" ๐ Lol, I'll actually prefer handmade gifts too, and lol, you're a guy that's why. Girls receive more gifts than guys
Naim be sey girls and boys no dey try for boys o
Diy gifts are still the best!
We can say they are because they often hold sentimental values.
between money and free time, omo naa money oh.๐คฃ If i could be making 5 millions per second, e go make sense. If you make money free time go come.
๐๐ that's another thing. Make lots of money then retire early ๐ ๐
Well, I'd choose funny over intelligent, but if given a chance to choose both, why not? hehe. Intelligent alone for me seems so boring. Sorry, but that's just me. We need humor in our lives. One of the most essential in my opinion.
Well, I do understand what you mean. Intelligent only can be boring.
Gifts are of great important to all of us. The hand made gifts have someone's important time and emotions for us. I believe that expensive and cheap doesn't matter only thing that matter is the emotions
True that handmade gifts have more value to both the giver and the receiver.
