    If anything were possible, flying! :laugh:

    I think cliff diving, too...somewhere beautiful, of course!

    I'm with the flying, that would be awesome,

    One thing I want to try, even though the failure rate is high is hiking the entirety of the Appalachian Trail, all 2000 miles of it. But that needs an entire summer and I have four small kids, but it will be done one day, it's on my bucket list.

    There is nothing I wouldn't do if I knew there was no possibility of failure.

    BTW, I don't "try" things. I just do them or not. "Trying" is a p@ssy way out of taking ownership.

    Learning Russian, I have alwayssss wanted to learn it!

    Running a marathon, that is some way off in my future.

    Modelling - once I am skinny of course.

    I have started the journey to weight loss but I am still scared every second of every day of failing.

    No risk, no reward. I like the idea behind this post, but if fear of failing stopped me, I'd never do anything. Every failure was a step toward my successes.

    Purchasing a gorgeous house (that's been on the market for nearly 3 years) in the historic district of the town I live in & turning it into my photography studio. It would require a HUGE investment & the only thing stopping me is my fear of failure. Fear of not being approved for a loan, fear of not being able to turn a profit, fear of my business failing...but if I knew those failures weren't a possibility - that would dream would become a reality. :)

    Becoming a writer :frown:

    This is my answer too. I feel like I'm stuck with permanent writers block, because I'm so terrified of being told my writing is crap.

    Same here. I have two first drafts to two different novels under my belt and I won't even re-read them to edit for this exact reason :(

    Learn to play the saxophone and piano well.

    Do the various treks, particularly everest, desert treks, north/south poles. Really though, it's money stopped me, more than fear of failure!

    I'd submit my writing to someone, somewhere. (It's fantastic, you know.)

    As some other MFP fellows mentioned above, I would try to make my way into the writers world.
    I would also become an actor, there's nothing I'd love more then to being an actress.
    And something more accessible: I'd become a psychologist

    I have always wanted to be a radio DJ. But now it's all mass corporate feeds and not like it was when I was a kid with DJ's talking, spinning records, etc. But I can't do phonetics.... my sister and I get it from our Dad. We can't sound things out to save our lives and butcher so many words and names. So I would end up being more like Les Nessman on WKRP! Granted I'm not as bad as my Dad, I can learn how to correctly say things ... he would keep saying them wrong no matter how many times you corrected him! My car was a Navajo.... he called it a NAV-A-JOE instead of nav-uh-hoh. :)

    My other thing would be to learn French. I want to go to Paris one day. I need to get Hooked on Phonics.... might put that on my Christmas list! :) Paris would be a great reward when I meet my ultimate goal. Sweet!
