If you could magically ask for one thing in life, what would it be? To be rich? To be famous?For me, I would choose to be rich. I would hep people who are most in need. I don't want to be famous but I would like people to remember what good I have done for others. Through this, I hope to influence people to do the same to others

I don't wish to be either one; however, Ill take being rich over being famous. There are to many unhappy famous celebrities in this state and I don't wish to join them in a counseling office to fix my life. The money can help others when I become rich. This area could use a new school, as all of them are crowded here and several of the schools need repairs. Also would use some of it to provide more books for the libraries.

I would choose to be rich. I would help people but I don't want any one to know my name. That way I could do more without playing to cameras. Plus I like giving and no one knowing it was me. Like Santa's little rich helper.

It is not so difficult not to be famous when you are so rich, so i rather prefer to be very rich becos with it the fame will come.

of course i will choose to be rich. there are two types of fame. fame can be in a positive form and negative as well. a person can be famous for all the wrong reasons, but if you are rich -- you are rich. Period. no questions asked. just rich. if i am wealthy, it's always easy to get people pay attention to me. a person can be famous, and still remain flat broke.

if it's only between being rich or famous... i'd rather be rich. like you, i'd be able to do more and help more if i'm rich. i've been working with poverty stricken areas for the last 9 years and i've realized how much i can still give if i have the financial capacity to do so. :)

ok for me define rich,one can be rich in many things,does not have to be money?one can be rich in life,rich in love, rich in just about anything,being rich in money can cause unhappyiness, to be famous for me no,I like my life the way it is,and to have the reporters in your face 24-7 cause your famous is not my idea of fun, to me life is rich and so presious. that's what I call being rich, I live a comfortable life,and thats all I ask... Have a great day!!

If i had to choose bewtween one or the other i would go with being rich. Being famous now a days seems too messy and with all the media coverage any little things celebrities do i would want no part in that. As for being rich i wouldnt want an enourmous amount but enough to live decently and not become corrupt with a vast estate. Furthermroe if i were to become megaich that would either make me famous or simply attarct unwanted friends.

I would prefer ask for not so much richness. Not billionaire kinda richness. With a 10 million USD in my savings account would be good enough. And i don't want to ask for it magically. I mean i will work for it with God's blessings.

hello pixelskul. your opinion is well taken. i admire people who are hardworking and easily contented. "Work is a magic lamp. It will bring you anything in this earth that you desire. Instead of wishing for the thing you want, it is only necessary to work for them."--Eric Von Carl God bless!

I would prefer to be rich than to be famous... to be famous means a lot responsibilities like taking carefully your name. ex. being a celebrity ... you must take care of your personal info.

I think to be rich can be better in some ways,but to be famous also can help people.If you are famous ,you can hold some party to make people help people.
