What skill do you wish you had? What job is completely different from what you do that seems interesting?
I sometimes wonder what my life would be like if I wasn't involved in arts as a child.

2 things I guess. I would loved to be smart and amazing at math and physics so could become an astrophysicist, or just simply have been exposed very early to classical music so I could become amazing at playing cello.

I was going to wish that I could predict lottery draw numbers.
But then I thought, maybe you'd get away with it twice maybe even three times before you'd get banned from being allowed to play - much like card counters are not allowed in Casinos.
And then you'd probably become a celebrity from having this ability and you'd have every nutter on the planet wanting you to tell them next week's numbers.

I feel like I could perform well in a variety of fields, but I was always hold back by my lack of self-control. Somehow this weakness has diminished after having a baby (almost 1yo), I just hope it's not too late.
- So, this is the skill that I wish I had, better self control.Pixter

Boobs. Its honestly the most powerful thing on the entire planet. If you have them, particularly larger ones, you can basically get whatever you want in this world.
- This is possible if you have moneyApeRobot

- Nah I dont want boobs. Just making a statement. If you have them, nice ones, life is going to be pretty easy for you. LolCygnusZero4
