Word game: What's the Q-Difference?

Katin said Jul 18, 2006, 7:41 AM:

 

Let’s play this language game right here, right now! :)

HOW TO PLAY
———————–
Each post will have a “What’s the difference?” question, which consists of two words tht represent similar concepts in our language (see below for example).

To play, simply answer the question by telling what you perceive the difference to be, and then ask your own “What’s the difference?” question for the next person to answer.

THE Q FACTOR
————————
The twist is that your answer must be in the form of a question that illustrates the crux of the difference.

EXAMPLE:
—————–
Someone posts:

Yelling and screaming: what’s the difference?

You could answer:

Am I mad? Yes = yelling, No = screaming

Or maybe someone would answer:

Am I scared? Yes=screaming, No=yelling.

Remember to ask your own “What’s the difference” question after your answer!

I’ll start us off.

The difference between gratitude and appreciation?

Could I have done what you just did for me, for myself?
Yes = Appreciation, No = Gratitude.

the Q-Difference between intention and goal…

YES = goal, NO = intention.

Okay, here’s one:

Hmmmm….
Goal and Intention.

Goal for me is the direction of travel.

Intention is the will to do something.  A idea to start.  the begining of a plan to act.

Hmmm a thought provoking one, this. 

Is it a spontaneous action or experience that will profit my life?
NO=foolish  YES=care-free

And, now, to “Q it forward:”

What's the Q-Difference between honour and valour?

(tres-fun brain game, this!)
