Q #36
If you knew you could devote yourself to any single occupation - music, writing, acting, business, politics, medicine, etc. - and be among the best and most successful in the world at it, what would you choose?
If you knew you had only a 10% chance of being so successful, would you still put in the effort?

WRITING! And yes, I would try even with a 10% chance.
I love to write, and would love to be able to devbote myself fulltime to it - it is very hard work, but infinitely worth it.
And, getting published may be even harder than actually writing the book.
Saving animals, both wild and domestic, would be my choice. I try every day as it is and I'm sure the chance is less than 10%. If I could be guaranteed to be successful, it would make me work even harder at it, if that's possible!
A Mom.
Of course.
A husband - yes 10% is better than none!
No doubt .... I would be a writer. I really do love to write. And the internet has given me a chance to practice that somewhat! I can blog to my hearts content .... and there is always the chance that someone might actually read it!!
