Self-motivation.
Oh boy yes
If this implies success in that field, I would choose financial investing.
Using a bit of those funds, I could go learn and become an expert in many fields and enjoy each one. If your not learnin’ you’re dyin’
Good choice!
Surgery.
Why? Because I’m a surgeon.
Now that sounds scar®y
Languages definitely. I want to be able to pick up new languages with ease
Good one. I’m studying Esperanto right now, because I watched a TedTalks vid where they said learning Esperanto (because it’s fairly easy to learn) teaches your brain to be bilingual. And that in turn, makes it much easier to start learning other languages.
Dankon, amiko!
Physics, all of it. It’s such an interesting fields and I’d love to understand all the new discoveries without an article dumbing it down for me.
Counting cards at a casino
You would be disappointed to discover that they watch for this and will ask you to leave if they suspect anything.
Oh I know, but I’d get so good I’d somehow go undetected. Just let me fantasize! Lol
Then like asking a genie to grant me more wishes I’d take the money and become an expert in something else lol and it be a never ending wish scheme.
Computer science/programming. So I could hack the planet.
It’s going to be really slow since it only has one core
Public speaking. You could get a lot of stuff done and fixed if you can convince people to do it. Doesn’t matter how good or smart you are if you can’t convince other people.
Probably carpentry. It’s highly relevant to what I do for a living. I have the tools and the physical abilities but there are big holes in my know-how
This question made me realize that I could become an expert in anything I wanted at any time; there is nothing stopping me. I guess I’m just not interested.
Survivalist knowledge would be practical in emergency situations. You’d get things like first aid, nutrition, self-defense… Seems pretty broadly applicable.
e: Thought of something. I want to be an expert assassin. Really top grade action movie shit so I can kill whoever I want while maintaining safety, secrecy, and connections.
An existing field?
I mean, if not, I think that it’d be a pretty easy call to be one that nobody is in, preferably one from the future – now you have access to a bunch of unique and thus highly-valuable knowledge.
I want to be a renaissance painter
Don’t monkey pawn me
You’re burned at the stake by the church for your weird handheld light devicd
For me: Planetary science. We are making space discoveries every day. It’d be so cool to be in that room when that information comes across the computers and everyone discusses what the new discovery means.
Music. Specifically woodwinds. Because I like them.
Japanese. It’s the one language that I need the most that I suck at learning. It just doesn’t make sense unlike Chinese. I have learned it for a while but it’s constantly flowing away from me.
You might look up synthetic vs analytic languages and see if that doesn’t shed some light for you. I think most people who don’t natively speak very synthetic languages have a hard time with it in second languages.
Makes sense why English, Chinese, and even Vietnamese make sense to me but Japanese doesn’t.
Yeah it really messes with me
