To be a bestselling author and to inspire and make a difference through my books.<BR/><BR/>2. To be an actress. Oh, how I wish!<BR/><BR/>3. To rise above the rest in something I'm good at. <BR/><BR/>4. To read everything ever that there is to read.<BR/><BR/>5. Sort of goes along with #1, but to really make a difference in this world. I want to leave a lasting footprint, an impression, a finger print, something that says I was a part of this world and I made a difference for the better.<BR/><BR/>So yeah, some of that sounded a bit selfish, I guess.

Money's no good- real riches are responsibility and I'm already, thank G-d, comfortably middle class. Long life is all very well, up to a point, but not that fantastical. Mashiach has an unpleasant lead-in, and early arrival may mess up the plans of the universe. Power is stressful, extra intelligence is a drag, happiness can't be given unless it's an artificial drug, beauty would probably get annoying fairly quickly....<BR/><BR/>everything that I want isn't something that can be given to me without losing its usefulness- like niceness, happiness, patience, good behavior, and so forth. <BR/><BR/>It's obviously a cop-out, but it's the best answer I got.Tobiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14930468887760990485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12970718.post-3882501363339473842007-05-01T10:33:00.000-04:002007-05-01T10:33:00.000-04:00lol - yep I guess your touching words seemed fraug...lol - <BR/>yep I guess your touching words seemed fraught with more depth than you possibly intended.. although it's beautiful to express yourself that way even without a 'deeper meaning intended' - <BR/>I have done the same to wonderful people in my life.. giving tribute to them with my gift for writing- moving and beautiful - without any deeper motivation, but simply to express my feelings.<BR/><BR/>Funny - when I think again about my response on this post- and why I particularly chose 'what I want 'most'' was to be to get to know this person better....
