What do you like about this subject?  Addresses questions asked everywhere throughout the ages -- a never ending quest that can nevertheless be dealt with successfully, I think.
What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?  Continue to get things as right as I can, in all the areas I have time for.
Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:  Philosophy need by no means involve gloom and doom -- being cheerful and happy is not only compatible with it but should probably be its reward when done well.
Something controversial or provocative about this subject  Each generation needs to revisit philosophy's issues because at this level of fundamentality, taking things on authority is unwise. Even though not all can be philosophers, each era needs to have those who address the topics of the discipline.
