Would you rather be...

Two. No question.

One...Obviously.

I can have a career I love to work and gain so much by it. I can also have a way to gain a partner, any partner, so I can build a relationship from that. I wouldn't want to be married as that opens me to getting my things taken from me if they want a divorce.

I can give more to charity and people if I am rich...

Option one has more capability for doing good than the second.

Two, of course. Although, the best outcome would be the one where good people are the successful ones.

Option two by a mile!

Why have so many people chosen option 2? I mean really, what's wrong with being rich, famous, the best in the business, and living in your dream house?

I think option 1 sounds awesome.

I'll be honest. I'd rather have Option 2. Just today, I watched a motivational speech on how to be successful and how bad you have to want it to do that. How you have to make sacrifices and be willing to put in the effort, a truly persuasive video. All my life though, not only do I label myself as introverted, I also don't like the popular lifestyle. When you have some sort of fame, people want to have what you have and know what you're doing. Some want to try to take it away by force, like the voice of Elmo. Sure you'll make a lot of friends easily and will be remembered in high honors but I prefer success on a minor scale.

Being lesser known but a good friend is more important to me. My version of success is having enough money to afford a stable home yet have a good amount for things like gaming and musical instruments as well as the ability to play them as well as I desire. I know friends who tried to rush success whether it was moving out with a partner or overloaded with academics and caused themselves to move back to their home town and/or induce a lot of stress. I'm already a nice guy, to a fault perhaps, so having just a handful of lucky people who know that is good enough for me. Maybe this outlook is due to my laid back mentality. Maybe I'm lazy. Either way, I can guarantee that I won't be stressed or targeted and guarantee someone a great friend, IF I'm allowed and kept in.

Option 1. With all of that money and all of those unlocked possibilities, I can have the life I want. I could have kids and adopt from foster care and be able to provide them with the best life, help my family, spare money freely to those that need it without worrying about whether I'll need that money tomorrow and retire early. I've noticed in your comment that you did not state that I couldn't have a family or retire early, so given those options, that's exactly what I'd do.

Part of the reason I'm working now is to be able to provide for my future family and help my own family if I can. Maybe a stranger or friend here and there as well. If I could just have that life handed to me, that'd be fantastic. Option 2 is great, but knowing that my Mom won't languish in poverty should she become unable to work and that my children will be able to pursue their dreams free of the monetary constraint I am dealing with would be absolute paradise.

2 isn't my dream. But it's way better then 1.

option 1 as I am still young but too old to have the lack of experience with responsibility and women that I currently have, plus being a respected psychoanalyst is my dream. I'm sure that after a while though i'll want nothing more than option 2

Neither. I want Option 3: To remain unfamous, to be finacially independent (But not rich), to remain single, have my closest friends back in my life, have my dog live a long, healthy life, and have my adoptive dad in my life (Don't ask).

Option 2. One does not have to be rich to be happy :D

I'm very introverted, however I don't think I could stand to have a plebian lifestyle. I think it would mentally scar me to become a clone/sheep of the average world therefore option 1

Number two. I don't want to be famous, they get no privacy, I feel bad for them in a sense. I can still be successful, being a good person, respectable, trustworthy, would be who I am as a person which are all great traits. And it says nothing about work, so it leaves that all open for whatever I want. Number two without a shadow of a doubt.

Option two. I dont really want a bunch of fancy shit. Just more shit burglars to steal, and more for the wife to take if we get a divorce.

Rather be a happy smoker.

Option 3 - A responsible person. Globally famous, noted, distinguished and eminent, but not renowned, celebrated or illustrious. I have a loving partner. We have an adequate living space, in a sustainable structure, in a sustainable community. We share our structure with others, and we all get along with one another.

Option 2 but no marriage.

its not a huge comparison...
it should changed to

option 1:
successful, rich, no life, no time for relationship...

option 2:
simple happily married life...

Two.

Two is the best option. The choice was not difficult.

I will take either one at this point.
