No doubt about it - I would want a beautiful voice! I would love to be an entertainer....either a star on broadway, or either someone laid back and cool like Sheryl Crow. I love to sing a lot now ( I think I'm good), but my friends have informed me that I shouldn't quit my day job.

Independently wealthy, like very wealthy, like I owned Montana.

If I could gain one quality by tomorrow, it would be inspiration because then I could do anything that I really wanted to.

Shayna, 28

The ability to see life as it really is, not as it should be... or does that even make any sense? :)

Patience.

I think I would be a lot luckier.

The ability to sit and do nothing without guilt. Not constantly, just a few times a week would be nice.

Either the ability to heal or the ability to fortell the future (and make a difference). [R.I.P. David]

My new ability would be to never be tired. Never have to sleep. That way, I would get more done.

Melodi, 19

If I could wake up and possess one power, I would like it to be the ability to fly, which I think would be really cool, flying like a bird. Imagine the money I could save on airfare

incredible confidence in myself

Any ability at all, unskilled labor doesn't pay well.

Alias Irrelevante

I'd like to be able to draw exceptionally well. As it is, I can draw pretty well and my art teacher has said I'm good but I'm never satisfied  with my work. I'd like to be a legendary artist.

Shanna, 15

Perfect Memory

Jami, 27

I think it would be the ability to fully think through what I was saying before I opened my mouth. Keep myself out of trouble that way!

Kathy, 26
Garden City, MI

July 5, 2000 If you could wake up tomorrow having gained one new ability or quality, what would it be?  I don't recall receiving this question, so I'll answer it now.......or try to at least.....Just one huh? That's the difficult part! I would like to wake up having been set free of the wall that has grown between me and my true feelings and therefore the rest of the world. That would probably be a huge step in achieving the other things on my list. I think that will do.

Firelady, 22

The ability to create infinite time or make time stand still . . .or maybe the ability to keep in better touch with my firends and family . . . hmmm . . . wait the ability to translate emotionally cloudy or intentions so buried in muddled language I would never misunderstand what a person is truly asking for . . . the ability to morph into other people would be half bad either.
