Would you prefer to be known for your kindness or for your intellect?
Oh dang, that's a hard one. . . But I feel like understanding any spoken language would be the bigger advantage, and I'd be able to get to know so many more people and travel with far less anxiety, so that one!
Would you rather star in one season of a TV series, or play a supporting/lesser role in a single movie?
