choose your destiny

I posed a question to the folks at 9rules today…here it is:

Here’s something I think should be interesting discussion.

If you could choose one skill or talent that you don’t currently have and it could be given to you by snapping your fingers, what would it be?

The one caveat is that it can’t be superhero-power related (like being able to fly, see through walls, super-human strength, etc.)

Mine would be being able to play the piano or guitar flawlessly without having to look at sheet music at all.

Yours?

And here are some of the replies:

  • Bar none… draw like Todd McFarlane.
  • I sat and really don’t know. Sure, I’d like to be able to play piano better but I guess with time I could be better on my own. If I don’t have the time to develop it, is it worth it? Maybe a journey v. destination thing. Or maybe I haven’t got much sleep and am talking crazy talk.
  • How about being extremely persuasive? This would make all aspects of life easier.
  • Jedi mind powers came IMMEDIATELY to mind but then I came across the caveat.

So what about you?

    Hmm… that’s a good question! I think I would probably like have a skill which enables me to get talking to people easier as I find I have trouble when I meet new people.
