What all those spy movies around I've always thought that it would be interesting and dangerous to work as a real spy. I have asked myself this question several times. Ok, am I really fit to be a spy? Am I intelligent enough? Can I be a good actress? Do I have the strength and nerves to do such a job?
I am an adventurous person and most of the time I think it is possible for me to make these things, but it is easy to think that when you are sitting in a cozy home in front of the computer...
Have you really thought about this? Do you think that spies exist only in movies and books? Have you ever wanted to be a spy?

I know that this is something that I would never be able to do. The thing is that I like to be really open and honest about myself and that isn't possible if you are doing any kind of job undercover. That said, I do think that there really are spies in the world, but we can never know for sure because these people aren't ever able to reveal their true identity. If it was just about intelligence, I think that there would be a lot of people that were able to be good spies.

You are right, there would be a lot more people doing it, if it was just about the intelligence, but on the other hand, it can't be just avout the intelligence, because if you are not undercover ther is no way to spy because the people you spy on won't trust you. So, I think that cover operations and intellegence are tightly connected

Hi, the... spy really exist in real life, i am sure you have read many stories or articles in newspaper regarding spy get arrested in a foreign country and face trial. A spy is not a fictitious character only exist in show business or in the mind of a book writer. I never think of the need to become a spy because i like to equate being a spy mean i have to steal information or act illegally against other country government for my own government, it is just not my hobby to do that. lol!!

If it is me, I don't think that I'm fit to be spy.
It was hard to act and is really dangerous.
I'm not of the adventurous type because when I think about the dangers the spies have undergone it really scares me.
I also don't have the strength and the right skills to be a spy.
But most of the spy movies are really cool that is why sometimes we think that we can do it. :D

Yeah, here is the big difference between movies and real life. It looks cool, but actually it is more dangerous than cool. However, there are people who do it in the real life... I would really want to know such person (well, nobody is actualy going to adimt that he/she is a spy, though)
