that "fake it till you make it" isn't just a phrase, it actually works.
My favourite quote to embody is: ‘Stay in the present and live in the moment - as these days end up to be memories we look back on’

It would be nice to realise this in the past - being more open to opportunities and making good memories.

Always being nice to others can be hurtful to oneself as well.

This is easy to answer, if that is everything: it is the number 42.

We’re adapted to change and behaviour fossilisation through experiences - it’s completely normal knowing you’ve faced such environments

If you read it "four two" you get a philosophical point. "For two". Not necessarily romantic, I don't think. I think Adams is hinting that the meaning of life in his eyes lies in what we do with and for our fellow humans.

Adams has a good sense for hypocrisy, I give him that. If that is really the meaning behind the number/s.

As a serious answer, “how to play the organ” I love “church music”, hymns and instrumental pieces, but was so very bad at the piano that music lessons were quietly dropped.

My dad was a fair amateur pianist and I have a cousin who’s a retired opera singer so I can’t say we’re not a musical family, I’m just hopeless!

A silly answer would be “where missing socks go”.

I wish I spoke my parents' language. They never taught me (or my younger sister) Sinhala, which makes it harder to have a strong sense of (pride in) our Sri Lankan identity, or interact with certain family members when we go there on holiday :moon:
