Responses to some questions

How would you describe yourself?
A bit of a romantic, bit of a nerd, and a bit of a dreamer. But I have worked hard to make those dreams come true.

My interests are eclectic. I have been called a Post-Modern Renaissance person. Sometimes people have a hard time keeping up. I can bounce from a variety of subjects, from the finer points of Nietzsche, to discussion of international culture, to politics, to classical music, to ancient eastern and western histories, to science fiction, to the discussion of cars, to hard science, to the latest discussion of Japanese anime. I can bounce between these things within the scope of a single conversation.

I have been told I am thoughtful, have good insight, and a strong will to make things happen.

I also have just come back from a year long preparation for certification examinations that I will have in October this year. I apologize for being intermittent in being online.
How would you describe your ideal partner?
Emotionally stable, loving, caring, and faithful.

I am also looking for someone to work out and jog with as well. I am trying to keep myself in shape for my health, and I want her to be interested in taking care of her health as well.

She must follow her own path, and not be a slave to popular culture. Many of people in my home country are "slaves to fashion," which I find quite depressing. The woman I would be interested in has to be smart in her chosen profession, whatever that profession may be. She also has to have a wide variety of interests and a few hobbies that we can mutually share.

She sees herself as both a professional in her chosen career, and as a caring wife and mother. She would not be the only person caring for the family, as I want to be as involved as I can, and be the loving husband my ideal partner deserves and a caring father that children should have. I hope that she would welcome these ideas.

I want someone who thinks in "we" and "us," not "me" and "you."
If you knew the world was going to end in 30 days, what would you do?
Try to find a way to help humanity survive. I don't believe in giving up without a good effort to survive.
If you had 10 million dollars to spare, what would you do with it?
If all my bills were paid, I would probably purchase a house in Hawaii by the coast, and with the rest invest it to make sure my family and myself were secure financially. Any profit beyond what it takes to live would go towards helping others. Perhaps a scholarship fund for students who want to study the sciences.
How often, and from whom do you ask advice?
I had my father who was the my key source of advice. Since his death, I have tried for friends that seem reasonably mature. While I will seriously consider their advice, in the end, I have to be responsible for my own decisions.
What quality do you value most in the people of your gender?
Honor, loyalty, teamwork, strength of mind and will.
What quality do you value most in the opposite sex?
Faithfulness, honor, nurturing, compassion, strength of mind and will.
What is a recent prominent event in your life, and how has it affected you?
Recently, things have been calm. I had a lot of turmoil in the past, and I weathered through it. It is nice to have a bit of quiet between storms.
What is the best advice that you give to your children?
Keep your mind open to new ideas.
Force yourself to learn new things.
Always realize that your actions have consequences.
Make your goals high, and then reach for them. Don't give up on those goals.
Never start a fight, but always finish it.
What has produced the biggest impression (shock) on you?
Knowing that despite all your skills, all your knowledge, that you can be helpless at times. But never be helpless for long. I felt that when I saw my father dying and knew that he was terminally ill.

A book by H.P. Lovecraft, "The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath."
What are your goals now?
Establish myself as an attending anesthesiologist. I work with fellow veterans, and it is important to care for them, as many don't get the care they need.
