Would you go for knowledge, wealth, understanding, physical beauty, success, fame, or what?

Maybe it's too early in the morning to get a coherent answer. Did we get up on the wrong side of the bed?

Yep, it's definitely too early in the morning.

Words of Wisdom from the genie: The best way NOT to read stupid questions is NOT to go to stupid places to read them.

Number 11, that is a tall order, but the genie is working on it.

I neglected to mention that the God thing is out of bounds. HE doesn't like it, as in: Thou shalt NOT have other gods before me.

Just between us, the genie cannot be coerced, nor forced to grant wishes. Wishes must be requested politely.

Although this sounds a very easy question, it took me a lot of time to think of it and write an answer. I don't think I would ask for wealth or physical beauty, because they fade away. Not even success is everlasting, because once you have succeeded in doing something (eg. winning a competition) you get accustomed to it, and you don't enjoy your success as you have enjoyed it the first time you won. I wouldn't ask for a life without worries, because the bad things that happen in our life make us stronger and more confident. If we see them as some "cold showers", we can pass through difficult moments successfully. I guess I would ask for a true friend with whom to share all my worries, my happiness and my success. I think my second wish would be power to understand people and even myself better, because only by understanding people you can help them and bring a smile on their faces. Nevertheless, I would like to make people happy, because I think this is the real meaning of life. It is a wonderful feeling when you see that you made someone smile. This is why I like giving presents or making surprises, I like knowing that I made a difference.
Hope this didn't bore you.

If you were my genie( you better grant me all these wishes!), success cause when there is success, there is also fame and wealth. Second is knowledge cause I want to understand the mind workings of human as a psychologist. Third is that i want this world a better place cause i want myself and the coming generations to enjoy the love and the beauty of this world that God has created for us all. This is half of what I wish for and good luck to you on granting all these wishes.

knowledge, success, and love. why knowledge? because i want to fill my head with tons of information so that people will be astonished with me. call me a geek if you want but i'd rather be called a geek than an idiot! why success? because i want to be able to do something productive in life which is meaningful like working for UNICEF. i want to be able to get that position. for me, that's success. along with it, i want to be able to generate a considerable amount of money and status. lastly, why love? because i want somebody who will stick with me to the end. i want an everlasting love. so, do you think you can grant all that for me? =)
