When is it time to change your dreams?

Marie in audition

What profession would you choose today if you could choose freely?

MARIE: I want to be a singer-songwriter. I participate in all types of idol competitions, but at each audition, so far, the judges have just laughed at me and asked me not to come back!

But this is my only dream, I can not live without a dream, so I continue stubbornly to believe in myself as a successful singer.

And one day, sometime, somehow ... and until this happens, it is OK to laugh at me!

Being powerful and humble

Peter is dreaming

If you would have a new pet what would it be and what would you call it?

PETER:  I like big animals. I would like a huge elephant. That would be cool and impressive. It would make me the coolest guy in the neighborhood.

And to not completely destroy my friends and to be a bit humble, I'd call him Mr. Small.

The Lonely Hearts Club lost a member

Daisy with her cat Ruben in the handbag

You are a couple. How did you meet?

DAISY: Pooh! How could you see that I have the cat Ruben with me in my handbag?!!

Well, since you have seen the cat I'll answer your question:

Ruben and I met seven years ago on a trip with the "Lonely Hearts Club". Ruben was stuck in a toilet and I saved him. He immediately fell in love with me and I with him, and since then we have never ever been apart.

And since that day I haven't visited the Lonely Hearts Club. I don't feel I belong anymore..

Be colorful and get happy

What makes you really really happy?

STINA: I like colors. So I dress in colorful fabrics and you get happy when you're colorful.
I expect that people appreciate my colorful look and maybe call me colorful Stina.

How to make important decisions

Who in your family makes the important decisions?

JESSICA:   I always let mom or my sister think that they are the ones who make decisions, whereas in reality it is me who has influenced them to choose the right decision!

She smeared him with eggs and he fell in love with her

Florence and Fred

You are a couple. How did you meet?

FLORENCE: The moment I saw that guy I decided that he will be mine. I started up a plan where we should meet in the local grocery, a place I know he tends to visit once a day. I will carry a large bag loaded with eggs an as soon as he enters the shop I will crash into him, covering him with the eggs - smearing his suit.

After thousands of apologies i will offer him to come home with me so I can clean up his clothes. I live just a block away.

And from here (my appartment) I will start phase two of my plan, but this whole story will be more of a novell than a short story, so let's stop here and just confirm that it all worked out the way I planned and we married 8 months later.

And here we are. Still married, 40 years later!
