Which would you pick: being world-class attractive, a genius, or famous for doing something great? Why?
I agree with Azul for the most part. Attractiveness and fame are fleeting. Even with technology, our brains can serve you well though. I'd pick that. Likewise, in choosing a partner, I'd pick brains over the other two attributes.
Being genius is also great, but it many times comes with its own demons. Being known for something Nobel worthy is going to spare you most of the fame seekers (who stalks a Nobel prize winner, after all?) but still afford you the satisfaction of having helped humanity. Even without the prize I would probably choose this over the other two. A sense of helping others gives me great personal satisfaction.
