It's just you and I in the moonlight here

1. Is it worse to fail at something or never attempt it in the first place?

To never attempt, if you tried and failed you atleast have experience which is worth more than nothing anyways.

2. If you could choose just one thing to change about the world, what would it be?

Wow, just one thing? I guess the priorities people have. 

3. To what extent do you shape your own destiny, and how much is down to fate?

I think we all are in charge of our own destinies but I do believe what's meant to be is meant to be. That does not mean you should just sit down and wait for stuff in life to happen, you have to go out and live.

4. Does nature shape our personalities more than nurture?

Nurture before nature, I've always believed that and I still do. It doesn't matter where you're from, it matters where you are, both physically, mentally and emotionally. 

5. Should people care more about doing the right thing, or doing things right?

Doing the right thing usually means doing things right, that's what I think.
