April Question of the Month - Join the conversation and receive a badge

Rebeca S.

We really had a blast with March’s question, didn’t we?

Whenever we ask about music, the Community comes together with all kinds of songs, artists, and genres, and that’s one of my favorite things! Hopefully your playlists have gotten some fun additions in the last month — I know mine did.

Now it’s time for a new question & the opportunity to earn badges and points while getting to know your peers.

What would you try if you knew you couldn't fail?

This is your chance to dream big, and let your imagination run free. Is there something that immediately comes to mind?

Well this is certainly an interesting topic and I am interested to see all of the unique reply's. I wonder how many will push the limits a bit, well, that said jumping right into it...

I would "try" to develop a AI based solution to assist those suffering from long term memory loss

Like John had mentioned using AI. How I would try and hopefully not fail ;) is to try and build documentation and processes within different software's using AI. I would build the ecosystem, and then just go in when needed using AI to constantly update. If I ever left, it wouldn't be hard to keep up the updates flowing.

John Connell

AI is a topic that I would not attempt to work on- for a variety of reasons including- I think you could use AI to create AI...LOL. I would try skydiving only knowing that I could not fail.

Deowens

I would start my own business.

Monique Odom-Stearn

Well, since my partner and I are about to start house hunting, my first thought was to try to get my dream house! But putting a little more thought into it, it would either be learning how to fly or starting my own crochet business!

Putting aside the usual weekend thoughts 😀 of solving world hunger, climate change, homelessness, and world peace, I'd start a "meals on wheels" endeavour, delivering food and care packages to those experiencing homelessness. Would love to start it locally and expand it nationally.

What would you try if you knew you couldn't fail?

Oh, the things I would do....number one I would gamble. The lottery, slot machines, or even if someone said, "Wanna bet?"

Steve Bratsch

Playing the drum set at a rock concert and maybe even singing a verse or two.

Scuba diving. When snorkeling I have to consciously focus on diaphragmatic breathing for the first few minutes to not hyperventilate. Could have something to do with only doing it once every 10 years or so. The underwater views are always worth the effort and scuba would be leveling up.

Kudos to those who would do something to make the world a better place.

All the generalist dabblers over here panicking trying to pick just one thing they would do...Haha!

Among other things...I would love to invest in breath-taking real estate, managed in part by an excellent property management team. Then, while that business runs in the background, I would love to write books as well as to collaborate with emerging artists to perform my spoken word poetry!

Jen Lawson

I would travel the world, without fear of environments, cultural differences, language barriers, etc.

I'm routinely of the mindset my nerves would keep me from exploring all the corners of a place, thinking I would look too touristy, too lost. If I could not fail- I would see all the worldly places my heart longs to see.

What a question! My immediate thought is that I would audition for the next Broadway hit to be produced -- and sing and dance on Broadway for a year as the highest paid performer. Then, after becoming super famous and wealthy, I would take my earnings and build a family "compound" where my immediate family could all live in close proximity (we are spread all over the country) and then ... world peace. 😊

Wow this is a great question. My husband and I always "dream big" and a lot of our road trip travel time is spent discussing those dreams. One of our dreams is to be able to help fund Heroes and Halos a local non profit that provides awareness, education, and outreach programs to the public regarding individuals with special needs and disabilities. In the past, prior to developing difficulty with my eyes, I provided free Photography Services for their events. Each year they host a "Special Needs" Ball. Through donations those individuals are provided formal or dress attire and H&H provides the dance hall all decorated and food. I would set up my "studio" in the dance hall and with the help of my husband we would take the pictures and print them and provide them to the individuals before the night ended, all free of charge.

I was a crew chief in the Air Force so the only planes I'm jumping out of are ones falling out of the sky! 😄

I have been blessed to have traveled the world and experienced many interesting and different opportunities in life. I've made the leap a couple of times and did fail, so at this point making that leap again is a tough step. But I think a life goal would be to have the ability for my husband and I to work together doing something we love. When I was young, I always said I would retire and open a neighborhood pub with great wings, music that makes people dance and somewhere that you can bring your kids on the weekends to play games in the yard next to the patio. Now that I'm older and wiser, I think I'd rather just find a nice neighborhood pub and sit on the patio as my grandchildren play in the yard.

In high school, I toyed with the idea of joining the US Air Force to fly fighter jets, but was too unsure and insecure to make that commitment at 18. I went to college on the path to a degree in aeronautical engineering, to instead design fighter jets, but the concept of fluid mechanics failed me, so here I am in Project Management. If I knew I could not fail, I'd go back and do both✈️
