How would you respond?

Here is a short video of 50 peoples' responses to one (good, simple) question:

To me, what is striking about this video isn't that people have different responses to the same question. Of course they do. It's how different the thought processes are behind each answer.

I like the response of the girl with the blue headscarf (you'll know by her look and her answer). I like what she's getting at. I want what she wants. And, I want to think like she thinks, outside the box. Too often, I get stuck traversing around the borders of a well-defined, black and white, two-dimensional (three-dimensional, at best) shape. Instead, I want to hang out in the fuzzy, grey, fourth dimension. Her response reminds me that, depending on how we approach life, a trip next door can be more a fulfilling, multi-dimensional experience than one to the other side of the world.
