If you could actually choose one of these as a real gift which would you choose and why? I would have to say for me happines because first I do not like crowds and am shy, second money brings with it many problems and I would find that difficult. Happiness I could share.

As long as She (who is my meaning in this life) is with me, any fame, fortune or happiness can stay away forever if needed.

Happiness, Hands down.. What good is fame.. You loose so much, no privacey, paparazzi following you everywhere.. You are always under a microscope, and the tabloids will print lies about you. Your children will be haunted by your fame and they, in their own right will loose their privacey.. Now fortune, som will say they will use the money to buy happiness. Sure this may even work for a little while, but it may also buy alot of unhappiness. Trust Me. There was a time in my life where money was king. I had an excellent job and had no problems maling much mor money on the side. All the bills were paid, vacationed where we wanted etc.. Nice cars, over priced clothes, and expensive fishing poles that never got used.. My wife and kids lived quite well. Me?, I was too busy making money.. I kissed my family goodby in the morning while they were still asleep. Talked to them once a day on the phone and then sliped back in the house at night to kiss them goodnight. Soon I woul be injured from a fall of a ladder and the money would be gone.. Long story later, being poor is where I found the most happiness in my life.. I am with my family 24/7, I watch my kids grow.. The bills still get paid somtimes just a little late. We may not travel as much but every day seems to be a vacation for us.

I know happiness is best choice but I already have found that and the secrets to keeping it. I don't think anyone can give you happiness. It comes from within.
All you who chose happiness must not have enough in your life.
If you already have happiness you don't need an overdose.
If you pick happiness it wouldn't last long.
Just like the fame and fortune won't last for some people.
I would pick fortune.
Fame and happiness are concepts.
Fortune is a tangible asset.
I know how to handle it and could spread happiness to the rest of my family and friends by helping them financially.
It would be nice to have a car collection like Jay Leno.

I agree that happiness is what I seek; fame is fleeting, and fortune does not buy you happiness, only more problems.
I know that it is "The love of money" that is the root of all evil,
not the money itself but those I know who are affluent never
have time to enjoy their family and friends. Those I know who are well known and famous can never enjoy a quiet moment because they are recognized wherever they go and people come up and interrupt them...even when they go to the bathroom!
Those I know who are happy are happy on a continuous basis...they recognize their ups and downs; they appreciate the good times and the sad times; they share their emotions and thoughts...and they spend as much time with family and friends as they possibly can; they work so that they can live...they do not live so that they can work. And there happiness comes not from fortune or fame, but from what they can do with and for those around them, and from respect.

Happiness. Cos its the most important, but also because it implies that you have the other things that it takes to make you happy. If fame or fortune are what make you happy then just ask for happiness and the rest will fall into place.
Apart from that, if ur really happy then you always find that you get everything that you've ever wanted.

Happiness.
When you are content people will be friends with you. Honestly.
Happiness brings rewards better than cash.
Less stress also.
Being happy is a lot easier to live with than wondering if people are around you because of money or fame.
Been at both and happiness was the front runner.
My family and their happiness is the main goal in life.
Enjoy what you do and spread it around.
Watch your world open up.

I would choose happiness as one is only happy when one is famous and to be famous you need fortune
If ever I have no fortune this will not prevent me from being famous as there are other ways to be so.
I would not mind also not being famous as it is not people around me all the time that can bring me happiness
I can be happy in so many other ways.
So my first choice is happiness

True happiness has to be it.
One tries to have fortune or fame to gain happiness. Why not go for the core of the matter.
With happiness, all life conditions are good.
