			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I wrote a post a couple of weeks ago, and it was titled, <a href="http://cpastories.com/2010/04/04/3-things/#utm_source=feed&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=feed"title="3 things"  target="_blank">3 things</a>. The questions were not the toughest in the world, but they were not easy either. They required some soul-searching and a discovery of the value you attach to certain things (including people).</p>
<p>I believe that taking time to answer tough questions benefits a person in so many ways. For example, previously unanswered questions now get answers; some people get a sense of direction; others change their ways for the better; other people may come up with mission statements; fear may be dispersed; courage may be developed; etc.</p>
<p>It is hard to answer tough questions when you have not mastered the basics.</p>
<p>What would be your response to the following question?</p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>What are the three things you cannot do without?</strong></span></p>
<p>My response, which is not necessarily the best one or correct one, would be something like this: <strong><em><span style="color: #888888;">Air/Oxygen, water, and good health.</span></em></strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffff00;">What would your response be?</span></p>
<p>Thanks for reading, and I hope you found that helpful.</p>
