Right now at this time I have none of the above and I don't want them for personal reasons of belief. I don't want fame, I just want to reach out to everyday people and touch their lives in a way no one has ever touched them before.
I don't want power because those who rule the world move around too much and I think they need to normalize themselves to understand the people their trying to reach.
I don't want money because I believe money is the root of all evil especially if you don't know what to do with it or how to handle it.
-----------------------------
If I had money, fame, and/or power here's what I'd do:
A. If I had money, I'd open up a healing center for women in all 50 states (and in a few countries, too.) where all women can go to accomplish their life long goals. The women would be able to open up about their life and experiences (so they can help other women who've been through the same thing). I'd also open up a healing center for teens in all 50 states (and in a few countries, too.) teaching them how to make positive choices. I would also tour the world every summer helping tweens and kids nationwide. I would also help people of color on a more personal level making house calls every winter.
B. With fame, I'd make the causes which are important to me known which also comes with the power of having everyone invest in what I feel is important.

Yes, I really do.
First and foremost, I need much better medical care for myself and a close friend. After those problems are resolved, I genuinely can make the world a little bit better.
I am aware of a great deal of human suffering from firsthand experience. In some places, just a little bit of money would go a long way towards relieving suffering.
The power would help me to reduce the problems of corrupt leaders who keep their followers weak and ignorant.
The fame would help me to raise awareness of a number of problems. However fame has the greatest downside of any of the three items you have listed.
Short answer: I would teach people to fish. That is an allegory for helping others better help themselves. I wouldn't really be teaching everyone to fish, rather I would help them obtain the resources they can use in their own communities to increase health, wealth and happiness. The resources might be skills, or access to medical care, or property rights, or even basic education.
Namaste.

I want it all and more. Because that is the answer in everyones mind when asked that question. It is only natural people want it all. But C'sara sara, what will be will be. And to do with is a matter of opinion and not valid. But to dream is also natural, so I guess I would take a trip around the world see the amazing earth and what G-D has created for us to live upon, sail the oceans and look about the vast seas. Stare at the stars, and on the way of course meet people maybe even donate time and money.

For me fame, power, and money are material things and this are not really important when we are talking about humane, because as all we know we cannot bring this when we die, all things has an end, the most important is love of all, the universal love, love your enemies as what you love yourself so that they may remember you, that sometimes you make them happy.

The only true power is the power of the mind.
Power should never be confused with fame or money.
In this term I would like more power, I would want others to have it too.

If I had tons of money, I'd travel the world and open alternative medicine clinics and provide free health care.

I could do with all three of those. Once I have them..I would find a small country and become its ruler...then over other small countries...then larger ones and in five years I would rule the world....
