If you could be amazing at any one thing

What would it be? Take money out of the equation, as well as moral achievements like curing cancer. Leave in fame/respect points though. No saying guitar either! I'm talking being worldly at something, really in a different league to anyone else in the profession. Was reading a bit of the boxing thread a moment ago and it got me wondering, I'm guessing a lot of guys might plump for that. I enjoy snooker a lot so that'd be high on the list, phenomenal skill without being completely in the public eye compared to other sports. I'm a bit of an amateur magician too so I'd guess being a sleight of hand wizard would be fun. This thread may die a death but insomnia is keeping me up and I'm curious as to what people would choose and why... Proper daydream admission!

On a personal level I'd love to be good enough at a sport to compete at the Olympic games. 
As I'm now 36 I think my chances are dwindling considerably. 

Altruistically, Being an amazing Dad to my two daughters would be nice too. I think all parents have a wee voice in the back of their heads worrying that they're doing it wrong- it keeps you trying.

I love playing the guitar but don't like dancing.  I'd love to be able to dance like Michael Jackson.

Mathematics, the real deep stuff, number theory, multi-dimensional calculus etc. All the hyper advanced math used in quantum physics. I would love to be able to really understand the Dirac equation:

To follow my basketball dream. Focus and dedicate myself to the game and become a professional - to travel around the world and make pretty good money out of it.

Speedway for me.
I tried it when I was younger, and scared the bejesus out of myself.

If you are allowing snooker why is being a great guitarist not allowed?

Seeing how awkward I am in social situations I'd like to be the guy who can have to room in the palm of his hands instead of fading into the background.I'm quite in awe,and a little envious,of people who can do this.
