If I Just Had the Patience.. and Brains

Spending ten years to become an expert in something is a pretty long time, if you’re not sure that you’ll love it. I want to automatically write that I want to become an expert at theater-but that’s a tough one, because it’s such a subjective art form. I guess I would spend ten years or more even, studying theater history, acting techniques, film etc. BUT I am kind of already in the process, so if I could REALLY become an expert in ANYTHING, it would have to do with making this world a better place. I would want to be an Environmental Human rights Doctor. I have always wanted to travel around the world, and I would get to if I was going to save it. I’d want to go to the Middle East, Africa, Asia, South America, Russia and even America. I’d fight for human rights, I’d cure and prevent sickness, and while I am busy with that, I would save earth. I would make a firm that grew lots of algae, and then take the algae and make ethanol out of it- then use the ethanol as gas. That way the use of gasoline would stop poisoning our planet (keep trying dad!) I would take all of the trash in the ocean and melt it, then compress it and make it into houses that homeless people could live in. I would go to places where people don’t have anything and teach them how to read and write and grow vegetables. I would fight for women’s rights in Iraq, Iran, Turkey and Palestrina. I would fight to stop Capital punishment in the United States; I’d fight for same sex marriage, for democracy, for equal rights and for love. I’d create programs where people would learn to use love as a tactic for a better world instead of violence.  I would want to learn everything I can about the human mind and body in order to save and understand people. Becoming all of this would probably take a lot longer than ten years and a lot longer than 10000 hours, however if this was the goal I could always spread the message and have people do these things after I die. Learning to save the world is a pretty awesome thing to do, and if I had the opportunity to do so in just ten years- there is no doubt in my mind that I would leave theater and do this instead.
