QUESTION: Comfort zone question. Have you ever done anything outside of your comfort zone? I have, but it's really, really difficult. I know it's necessary to leave that zone and "stretch" a little or else how will I grow as a person?
-- Redsophiia

ANSWER: The traditional comfort zone is a thing many people pass through on their way to complacency, sloth and predictability. That's what makes it dangerous -- long term, it leads to nowhere good.

If our decisions were motivated by our comfort, not much in the way of accomplishment would ever transpire. Comfort without adversity has no meaning. Rather like clean, without dirty.
-- Mike




QUESTION: This is very hard to answer for me, as there are many through the years. I think The Mary Tyler Moore show would be at the top of my list. I also loved St. Elsewhere and Frasier. In years gone by, the variety shows were always fun. Carol Burnett, Sonny & Cher, Donny & Marie. I think my favorite character would be Alex P. Keaton. Michael J. Fox was terrific in that part and I looked forward to that show each week.

How about the rest of you?

ANSWER: For pure, original brilliance, Barney Fife.
