If somebody offered you a chance at the thing you wanted most in the world, but in exchange you could never tell anybody about it, would you take it?

I already have what I want most in the world, and everybody knows it. And all the things I want that I don't have are things that people would pretty much find out about whether I told them or not.

Sure, why not. At least I would have the knowlege of it.

It would depend on what it was and whether I could only enjoy it in the company of others. Since most of the things I want are not tangible, it would be difficult to keep them a secret.

Y'know, this has actually happened!!! Of course I can't tell you about it hehehe :-)

If not telling anyone is the condition, so be it.

I disagree with the premise. I am that somebody and I have no desire to place that restriction upon myself (gawd that sounded cheesey).

If somebody offered you a chance at the thing you wanted most in the world, but in exchange you could never tell anybody about it, would you take it? This question makes me think too much! I guess the wording of this makes it tough... it says "... offered you a CHANCE at the thing ...". For a CHANCE, no, I wouldn't take it. If it was GUARANTEED, then I would be more inclined to accept the deal.

Yes, because if I got a chance at the thing I wanted most, everyone would know since I'd be a famous singer!

Most definately

I found this question on some computer test...so they get the cred. for it...Yes...It is more important to be happy, than to get credit for achieving one's dreams...of coure, this is really a hypothetical question...but whatever...nevertheless, my answer to this question is yes, it is my bag...

Absolutely. When and where do I sign up?

Sure.

Perhaps I'm quibbling, but if I were given "the thing I want most in this world" my life patterns would certainly change whether or not I talked about "it".

Jill, 61

Most definitely.

Felicia, 36

The thing I want most in the world is good health, and if I could have it, I wouldn't care in the LEAST if I could never tell anyone about it.

Reba, 50+

, MD  USA

In a heartbeat. I learned many years ago the blessings of keeping one's mouth shut.

Fisch, 46
Preston

I don't know what I want most in the world, if it would be something i could bear keeping secret or not.

Talia, 24
Wilton
, CT   USA

Probably not. But that's mainly because there's not anything that I want that I wouldn't earn.

Johanna, 18
OK  USA

Absolutely.

Keri-Jade, 21

No

Melodi, 19
Gahanna

What if my dream was to have everybody know something? I certainly don't care what other people think. I'd like to have things that are important to me and wouldn't care if people knew about it or not, as long as I had it.

Eric, 20

Yes, I would.
