3 Choices

If you could choose between Fame, Money or Power, which one would you pick?

All are extraordinary and out of the reach of most.  

To me the choice is obvious:  Fame has so much hidden downside, Money has its negatives too, but Power, if wielded correctly for good, is my overwhelming choice.  

Imagine if you had The Power!

Power is seductive, and you may think you are doing good, but there can be a dark side or negative consequences to your actions.

For me, it’s money. Money gives you choices. You can do a lot of good with money and make a lot of people happy.
Daniel Schwartz

I would say money as well. It allows for options and a life that could reduce stress and increase your freedoms to do as you please. I don't need power or fame.

Money - there is so much you can do with money. Because having it allows for so many things.
From helping other people- making people happy , the ability to do whatever you want, go wherever you want…. But not too much - that is a burden. Just the right amount .
Shelley Simpson

We all have more power than we know or utilize and fame can be elusive and not always for a good reason. Money is merely a tool and a magnifier. The more you have, the more you can do. Whether it is enjoying good health or good deeds, money is required.
Robert Intelisano

Would have to say money as it is an amplifier. With unlimited cash comes fame (Forbes Billionaire list) and the power to amplify helping others and oneself! Money leads to all 3 IMHO.

Money = choices, freedom and security. Maslow’s pyramid of needs. Then you can do good for others.
Rich Slomovitz

Money - you can't help the poor if you are one of them. Money put in its right place is a terrific tool for ourselves and to help others.
Kelly Welles

Money is power. The power to save lives. The power to buy freedom. The power of choice. The power of influence. The power of peace of mind. But even money and power are powerless if one meets the wrong fate.

Money, Money, Money, Money. Couldn't care less about power or fame. As a matter of fact I prefer going through life anonymously. It's a lot easier to navigate crowds and events when no one knows your name; however, when you look like a celebrity, that goes out the door.

Other. I mentor used to say that power I'm,plies power over another... while "Strength" is internal and "of self". All above comments are correct because of their inner Gotham motto: "What goes around comes around. Strengthen enables the withstanding of the 'worst of the weather' and the nurtures the highest of character.

This is a tough one. Probably money. Enough money can bring to you the other two.
