Tell me about a mistake you made today. What did you learn from it?
Tell me about a responsible choice you made today. What happened because of it?
Why did you choose the book you're reading? Tell me what you enjoy about it?
What problem did you have today and how big was that problem (Big, Little, Glitch)? Did you use a kelso strategy to solve it?
