This thread was "superlol".
Save loads of money.
*go on lots of vacations.
Perfect a difficult and very different foreign language.
*in just 5 years whilst working full-time.
Get a well-paying job.
*with rinkadink ESL experience in the aftermath of the worst economic crisis since the 1930s.
I know these were just wishlists, but still, 'lol'.
While we're at it though, and keeping in the spirit-
1) Be a deep person whilst mainly being interested in trivialities and generally being self-absorbed.
2) Complete a PhD without having to read difficult books, or spend 10-12 hours a day working on it over a sustained period of time.
3) Stay in perfect shape whilst not being a bore about it and eating like a gourmand.
4) Save $1 trillion whilst working for a modest salary and still doing everything I like to do every weekend.
5) Have a loving relationship with my wife whilst only focusing on my own needs and treating the marriage as a vehicle for my own personal fulfillment.
i.e. get everything I want without the hard work, perseverance, self-discipline, strength of character (etc.) required to actually get it. |
