As a newbie that wants to invest, you must have these three things in mind 1. Have a long term mindset. 2. Be willing to take risk. 3. Be careful on money usage, if you're not spending to earn back, then stop spending. 4. Never claim to know - Ask questions and it's best you work with a financial advisor.

These interviewers should be told (if not immediately obvious already, as a manner of respect), under no circumstances should you be asking how many people a man has killed. You might think it wins column inches, but just have a bit of a regard for what that question really means. To the interviewer, it clearly means Jack shit.
