What would you try if you knew you wouldn't fail?

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 reason0 -
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!0 -
Hang gliding.0

Triple axel!0

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.
I think you should do it0 -
masters degree
and
cocaine? only joking haha0 -
I'd submit my writing to someone, somewhere. (It's fantastic, you know.)0
-
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 psychologist0 -
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!0 -
Modeling. oh and winning the lottery.0

Writing
Modeling
Acting0 -
Drawing to an inside straight.
Seriously, sports. Especially all the sports at which I've previously broken bones (mine, that is - I have yet to break anyone else's :ohwell: ).
Dancing.
Rock-climbing.
Wilderness hiking.
All the stuff I used to be able to do when I was younger. (Okay, maybe not *all* of it ).0 -
The Camino de Santiago0
-
roller derby. but as a girl with no health insurance if i were to break a bone, i'm not going there.0
-
winning the lottery.
Lol, brilliant! Why didn't I think of that0 -
Oh, and brokering a lasting peace in the Middle East.0

children
This, even though I'll try in a few years regardless...
I would love to try sky diving... not failing meaning I wouldn't die.
I'd love to try climbing a "waterfall" in a jeep... A waterfall is a dry spot where water once ran and it's very bumpy and can be steep... not failing would mean I wouldn't flip the jeep over while climbing up the waterfall... This is climbing a waterfall in a Jeep... http://s156.photobucket.com/albums/t23/rokrash/Jeep Stuff/Wheelin Pics/Moab 08/?action=view&current=MOV00325.mp40 -
My fear of failure and a bit of lacking funds keep me from learning to swim and learning to ride a bike. I want a bike so badly, but haven't found one I could afford. My friends are trepidatious to say the least about letting me borrow theirs because they know that I don't know how to ride and don't want me to ruin theirs in what I can only think is a huge fiery crash a la stuntman movie in their imagination. Swimming is a biggie. The only place close enough for me to go would be a friend's pool (only one of mine has one and her husband is a d!ck) or the Y which is over an hour away. I'd feel so ashamed if I drove that far just to have a panic attack in the parking lot and go home. My friend keeps inviting me to the pool at her gym but that's a very long way from my house too.... even farther than the Y. I have had an extreme and unreasonable fear of drowning since I was about a year old which was magnified when I fell in at a creek at age 5, hit bottom and only popped above water one time. Had to be rescued and it still haunts me.0
