I do not think we need to spend more money on education. Compared to many countries in the world, schools in the U.S. have the best equipment. Our students are spoiled, and the parents are irresponsible. When their children do not perform well in school, they should discipline their kids instead of blaming the schools. 13. Why did you say so? Classrooms in Vietnam (where I came from) are very crowded. The Kindergarten school I went to had 120 kids in one classroom, ranging from age 3 to 7, and were managed by one teacher. The middle school I went to had 65 to 80 students per classroom, and our oven like classroom did not have air-conditioning. Chalk and paper were limited. The majority of students either walked to schools or rode bikes. We did not have school buses to pick us up or drop us off. Under those circumstances, we were still able to learn. I think the parents here need to spend more time on helping their children. It's all about discipline. 14. What professional(s) do you respect the most? Scientists and Engineers. 15.

I believe I have only one life to live, after I die, I become nothing. 22. Would you like to know when, where, and how you will die? Any why? Yes, especially the how and when, so that I can at least try to avoid it. Or I can make plan to utilize my remaining time as much as possible. 23.

Yes, I like to play with kids. In fact, I am very good with them; they enjoy my company. 25. How many children would you like to have? None. 26. None?! Why? The quick and dirty answer is: Too much responsibility. Besides, life is tough, and it will get tougher. I have suffered a lot in my life journey, there is no reason for me to bring in another life to suffer together. 27. Isn't that true the reason you don't want to have children is because you are too busy in fulfilling your own interests? According to many people, you are selfish. It should be the other way around. Because of having no children, I end up having time to pursue my own interests. One of the reasons for not having children was that I didn't want them to suffer, I don't think anyone can call that selfish. On the contrary, those who have children just because they want to without seriously thinking the future of the their kids are the truly selfish ones. 28. Are you a romantic person? Yes and no.

Since there is no eternity, I would favor the opinion of a finite universe. We have parallel solar systems, parallel galaxies, it is not that unimaginable to have parallel universe, even multiverse or megaverse. Again, how arrogant to think that the universe we live in is the 'only' universe in this immeasurable outer space. 36. Do you write diary? No. Diary is the worst place to keep secrets. 37.
