If You Could Pick One Gift...

Charlie · 02-06-2005, 12:08 AM

My friends and I got into a discussion about this tonight at the pub. What do you all think? If you could pick to be, physicly gifted; great at sports, learn anything physical in a day and master it in two, artisticly gifted, or intellectually gifted; ie. Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking brilliant... which would you pick?

For myself I would go with physicly gifted, but I'm a sports nut so the physical thing may not be as important to some people...

Which would you be?

I would want to be artisticly gifted. Even if I didn't sell anything until after I died.

I'd pick intellectually gifted.

I'd go with physically gifted, myself. I work at it nearly every day, and I do
alright, but it would be nice to just have it. 'Specially if I could keep it into
old age!

For me physically gifted. By that I mean genetics as well, as abilities.

I work with AZLHEIMER'S patients, and their families. If we have learned nothing else about this awful disease physical health plays a huge part.

ALZHEIMER'S disease knows no boundries. It will strike the intelligent, rich, poor, young, or old. It doesn't care what your ethnic background is. It will take your mind, and body in an angonizing decent into darkness.

Having great genes, and good phisically health through out your life just might put on the non-receiving side of this disease..

It's no guarantee, but it is a plus. Keeping your body healthy, also keeps your BRAIN HEALTHY.. "MAINTAING YOUR BRAIN" IS THE NAME OF THE GAME, IT STARTS WITH YOUR BODIES HEALTH..

Intellegence, I love knowledge of all things and definately am no expert. But just find learning facinating.
I am not physical enough nor care about that part
Artistically I can do a wicked stick man drawing ahahahaha my mom and brother are the artists in my family circle so I will go for brains.

I would have to say i would want to be artistic.

I'd probably go for the gift to make people i meet happier when i walk away than they were when i arrived.
