ask three questions about self reliance

This book is all about relying on your own intuitions, being spontanious, being original and taking chances. I'm not exactly what or context that you want the questions in si I'll just do my best.

Do you work to obtain all your money or do you rely on the government for some of it?

If you were a painter, would you copy other works or create your own?

Would you take a chance on a business venture?
