Questions:
1. Are you satisfied with your current life? More like Brad or less like him? Why or why not?
2. Are you willing to work for non-profit organization or some other career you like to pursue your ideal at the expense of making more money which would probably offer you a wealthier life?
3. Do you prefer a more ambitious spouse or more satisfied one like Brad’s wife, Melanie? Why or why not?
4. If some youngster admires what you do, but you personally do not like it, would you convince him/her not to follow your steps, like what Brad told Ananya about?
5. Will you compare yourself with your capable/powerful/wealthy close friends?
6. At what point do you think Brad starts changing his negativity towards his life into more positive and more grateful attitudes? And why?
7. If you have children, will you ask them to make up for your lost ambitions, such as education, career, or some skills, like what Brad feels?
8. Why, At the end of the credits, does Brad's imagination wander back into thinking that his son is playing music on the street collecting coins? How do you interpret it?
9. Have you ever regretted for something that you did before? If you have a chance to redo something, what would you do differently, and what would you choose to do the same? Be more specific and tell us why and how…
10. What do you wish to accomplish the most in this life of yours? Have you already done it? If not, when do you expect to do it?
