What Would You Do?

[jerseyman1963]

I saw this question on another discussion forum, but it really made me think. If you could be guaranteed not to fail, what are the things that you would do or try?

Run for President, broker peace in the Middle East, and solve the domestic economic imbalances of the U.S. Somehow make everyone realize that endless deadly conflict isn't getting anyone anywhere, and that we have to take care of each other, even if it costs us something.

I would try to learn to play the violin.

Research the cure for all cancers.

Find a way to create World Peace.

And lastly.. Make vegetables taste as good as the foods that aren't good for the body.

I endorse this idea wholeheartedly.

I'd sign up to become an astronaut.


And become BG's running coach.

Is this gonna involve a flogger?

I'd climb Mt.Everest - maybe.

Write a few books - definitely.

Play piano very well - definitely.

Become a neurologist and psychicatrist - definitely.

Give everyone in the world fresh flowers every day - positively.


I'm so glad there are other's that will take care of the illnesses, wars, and world troubles so I can be kind of self-serving with my wishes.

Depends on how hard you train.

Oh, don't you worry. I'll train really really hard...

quit my job and do nothing but write. immediately.

Wow! You have a job...Other than writing here at Lit?

And for my "no fail" thing, I think I would do the lottery everytime it got over $50,000,000.

ezzy: heh...you'd be scared if i told you i frequent another forum where my postcount is somewhere just shy of 15k (and if not for a few forum purges, would be more like 30-35k).

or hell, just the amount that i blog.

Looks at time stamp... looks at post count...

Good lord ed that implies that you posted at least 42 messages in just under 2 and a half hours...

 

[Sarojaede]

I would quit my job and write. I would learn to play the cello and the saxaphone.

 

[Dirty_dave25]

I would invent free energy and post it everywhere for everyone to use. That would stop a lot of wars.

Then i would enlighten everyone that religion is your own thoughts and feelings. Not someone else’s. But the true religion is one based on LOVE

That should at least stop a lot of 'mans' chaotic & forceful tactics to manipulate the masses with fear.

Once those are done ill head for developing a machine that can view the worlds past. (would love to see what really went on all those many moons ago!)

i'm with you on these.

i think i might like to start a diet where you can eat as much chocolate as you want and still lose lots of weight fast.

 

[werdsmith]

maybe I'm feeling selfish, but if I could "never fail" at what I tried, I'd play Wall Street and Vegas for a little while, then start a tour of college campuses looking blondes, brunettes, and redheads.

Interesting question. Right now there's nothing I'm so afraid of that I'm not attempting to do it ...

That said, what I'm doing is still damned scary at times. At least I know I'm alive and living!

[bobsgirl]

I would take singing lessons.

I've read that you should try to do one thing that scares you every day. I wish I could...
