Ah lets see here.......

invent a potion to keep me young forever

Become mega wealthy from the potion and make everyone happy by sharing the wealth

Find a hiding place that nobody knew of so I could hide away when needed

I read that statement in a book or article over a year ago and it always stayed with me. What an incredible thought. It's such a big possibility that it almost overwhelms the mind....doesn't it? I've spent a great deal of my life sincerely in fear or failure.

What would you do if you knew you could not fail?

Educate everyone to the maximum of their potential. The world has enough people who could then “think and reason” the right answers to their problems in their areas from: poverty, hunger, illness and war. They will know what they need and how to solve it.

Somewhere I read that if we simply teach other nations how to get clean water and manage waste that they will solve their needs of farming and disease. All positive things can lead from this simple answer.

Isn’t it sad that even in this nation we have areas in our cities and rural areas that education is lacking behind the needs and time? Our county needs more schooling for everyone, thus everyone could excel to their maximum potential. We would have the best professionals and tradesmen doing what they do best.

There are talented people out there who don’t have the money or opportunity to go to school and do better in their lives, thus we all lose.

I really like your answer Aks. Many folks don't even realize they have potential because they have not been given the opportunity to learn. Handouts are not the answer. Education is. Give people the tools to help themselves.

Suicide is a one time thing.

That Goddess of Love thing sounds like way more fun!
