I do not have one as i believe possessions can not be taken with you when you die, but do you have a most treasured possession?
Mine is probably the thousands of pictures I have of family, friends, and the special moments they depict.wolram said:I do not have one as i believe possessions can not be taken with you when you die, but do you have a most treasured possession?
Well, of course not, but don't you have some possession right now that you value highly?wolram said:I do not have one as i believe possessions can not be taken with you when you die

I don't think good health counts as a possession, but that is something that I am very thankful for, and that I value very highly.
Of my actual possessions, this one is up near the top, my 1948-ish HD Panhead:

* But after one of my dear cats died about a year ago I came to the stark realisation how little inanimate possessions like these actually mean to me. But then again, we are all going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones:

Isn't that the truth a lot of the time.Pepper Mint said:Almost everything mine and around me. Their existence completes mine and indicates my possessions of them.
Once I thought what I had lost would remain as an open wound that time could never have healed. But later I realized I had been severely *possessed* by those materials instead of me being their owner who should have possessed them. It is the worst obsession I've ever had.

Nobody knows what they have until they lose it.

I don't own anything especially valuable or precious. I'm proudly owned by a black cat and a crazy cockerspaniel.
I don't know but I'm not particularly fond of things and I don't have any hobbies that require special equipment.wolram said:Gosh how old do you have to be to have a treasured possession[emoji3] i love it you have a cocker spaniel and a cat.

I like coffee and good food and magnesium salt in my bath :-) but all of these come and go away so I don't consider them to be possessions.
Oh! Now something come to my mind! It's a 50 years old Teddy bear that my mum got when she was 5 and he was my favourite toy, too! His name is Mishko (little Michael). I almost forgot about him because I haven't seen him for ages! But yes, I would definitely save him in case of fire right after family, pets and important documents. He definitely is more valuable than my memory box.

As a scientist, I am often asked about my most treasured possession. Here are the top 5 most frequently asked questions about it:
My most treasured possession is a microscope that was passed down to me from my grandfather. It holds sentimental value as it reminds me of my love for science and the influence my grandfather had on my career.
I acquired my most treasured possession when my grandfather gifted it to me on my 16th birthday. He had used it throughout his career as a scientist and wanted me to have it as I pursued my own scientific journey.
Aside from the sentimental value, my microscope is special because it has been passed down through generations and has been used by scientists in my family for over 100 years. It has a rich history and has been a part of many important scientific discoveries.
Yes, I do use my most treasured possession in my work. It is a functional and reliable microscope that I use for my research and experiments. It has been a valuable tool in my scientific career.
I take great care of my most treasured possession by regularly cleaning and maintaining it. I also keep it in a safe and secure place to prevent any damages. It is important to me to preserve its history and functionality for future generations.
