How many times do we hear that question?
Long after it's spoken?
I'm 47 and still trying to answer.
When I was initially asked I said,
"A Good Mum".
I went through phases,
Someone medical?
A Nurse or Doctor
Surgeon... maybe?
A Teacher,
Witch
A Priest
Nun
I checked what was involved, orthodox
Priest and Nun were ruled out by pre-conditions/definition.
Hairdresser, Beautician, Artist
I was good at all of these
Journalist, Columnist, Author, Hermit?
I could do these too, but would I like it?
Law and Order also appealed
However, it seemed, I was the wrong age (too young), wrong gender.
Politics interested me, current and historically
Ancient inventions - purpose, motivation, result
Science, philosophy, expression, freedom, theory and accuracy.
What could I rule out? (It might be easier)
Even if the option became available, I prefer not to be male.
Although I have green belts in JuJitsu, Taekwondo and Karate - I don't like fighting. I prefer to discuss and deal with potential disagreement that result.
I've attempted to explain to my children, having less choice makes life easier.
It's not a fault either, it makes sense in many respects, which is probably the reason why it's applied so frequently.
However, because it Sum x helps, it's easier to eliminate by dis like, and good reason always rises.

I've heard since a child, every variation of, "You can't beat experience", "The best way to learn is to Try it", "The Best of the Top came from the Bottom".
We carry advice through our lives as a control 'test'.
For example:
How true are the following phrases: -
"Work hard and you'll do well"
"It doesn't pay to lie"
"You're respected if you're good"
"You get what you deserve"
"Blondes have more fun"
"You never look back once you've been with an African"
"Being Good is what matters most"
"It's what's inside that really matters"
"A Degree is the only proof of intelligent ability"
