In the early time of blogs...

... there were things like Friday Five – a list of five new/different questions posted each Friday to give people something to write about, a prompt for some fun. There were other types with similar prompts; the idea caught on. Here's one of my FF answers, from 19.5 years ago, that I appreciate. (Question 2 was a about quotes. I kinda went nuts with that one, so I've excised it here.)

It's Monday! What better time to answer the Friday Five?!

1: What do you most want to be remembered for?

I don't want to be remembered. When I go, I'm gone. Leave it at that.

3: What single achievement are you most proud of in the past year?

I've lost some weight.

4: What about the past ten years?

I've lost a considerable amount of weight.

5: If you were asked to give a child a single piece of advice to guide them through life, what would you say?

Don't ever willfully harm another person, and don't take pleasure or profit from others' harm. Other than that, enjoy life and let nothing stand in your way.

Actually, come to think of it, I was talking recently with one of my in-town cousins (a 7 y/o girl) and I told her never to do anything that bores her. I quite like that; it's probably the best advice I'll ever give.

The original website, fridayfive.org, seems to have vanished entirely. So it goes.

This assumption has (so far) withstood the test of time. I don't think I've offered anything that surmounts this.
