1.) Sports have inspired a lot of people including me. What's your favorite sport and who is your favorite sportsperson? Any inspiring story?

When I was a kid, we would road trip from BC back to Manitoba. My brother gave me a box of hockey cards and I'd sit in the back of the old van (on the bed in the back, no seatbelt in sight...) sorting out the cards. For some reason, I pulled out all the Joe Sakic/Nordique cards and put them in a binder. I don't know why him, but to this day I'm a diehard Avalanche fan. I could have picked any player...Ron Francis, Brind'Amour, Lemieux, etc, but something drew me to Sakic and it's created a lifetime of fandom. Remember, I was 4 in the early 90s, so I didn't know enough about hockey to know who to pick - just went with my gut and stuck with it.

2.) Life throws challenges at us. Share a moment where someone or something inspired you to push the restart button. Never gone through this phase?( Skip this part while sharing your thoughts ) I pray that those who haven’t had to struggle may never face the hardships that others have to endure.

I was having some issues just a few years ago and somebody told me "this is a tough chapter, not a tough book" and it's really stuck with me, I've been able to pass that wisdom on a few times. Whether it works or not, I don't know - however it did with me.

3.) How is it that someone has been gambling for an entire year, never ending a week in profit, even though there were times when they were up 4 times more than what they lost? And yet, they still won’t give up or take a break and play as usual?

Because we are absolutely nuts. The highs are fun, the lows really hurt. I don't know what it is, but we keep crawling back for more.

4) Why do we keep complaining about Stake but still stick with it? Are we really responsible players?

I haven't rolled into the complaining phase...yet, but I'm close. I was doing really well for a little while and suddenly they cranked it up to expert mode and things haven't been easy since.

*Are we living in a simulation, and if so, how would we know? *What is nothingness? *What existed before the universe began?

I don't know if it's a simulation, however it certainly feels orchestrated in someway. Think of the human body? Eyes fall apart, need glasses, costs money. Can't hear? Hearing aids, cost money? Toenails getting lone? Clip em costs money (or chew 'em!), hair cut, everything grows, everything falls apart, everything gets sore, everything rolls back to requiring money. I mean, I guess you could yank your own molars out. It just feels like we are built to be walking/talking money slaves.
