Thought Experiment

A friend of mine’s gmail status reads:
what would you do, if you knew you could not fail
It lacks a question mark, but I assume it’s soliciting an answer, so here’s mine. Feel free to leave you own in the comments.
I’d drop out of med school, start a rock band in which I’d play guitar, sing and write all the songs (remember, I can’t fail, so presumably I could somehow do all these things well in this scenario, even if I suck at them now), spend 20 years making albums and touring, and then go to some Ivy League college to pursue a PhD in Philosophy, possibly followed by more courses in English, Politics, etc…
Alternatively, I would become the best football player in the world, sign for Arsenal, and return the club to its glories of yesteryear.
Alternatively again, I would start making films, possibly with a good friend of mine, and win Oscars in the Best Original Screenplay, Best Director and Best Film categories for our exquisite portrayal of noble zombies in a major motion picture.
Point is, it’s a silly question.

I would rule the world. And do it well.
