Win the lotto, so I could take the worry of finantial problems away from my family, properly feed my loved ones and go to college without having to focus on how to pay it back in stead of my classes. :)
CRAP!!! wrong page... well at least it seems to fit the first question you have up there, lol. (What would you attempt if you knew you could not fail?)
What do you want art to give you out of life, and are you willing to push yourself to the limit to obtain it?
And by 'limit' I mean financial losses, sleepless nights, fatigue and illness due to stress, and knowing all of that can go on for years and years without any promise or sign of ending?
Interesting, I've never thought about what I want art to give me. I've always thought of it as mow much I was willing to put into the art for it's sake.
Drawing/Writing: I want the art to show me realizations of the dreams I've always longed for. But I'm apparently not willing to put the effort into finishing much. I've put probably thousands of hours into each, but I very very rarely finish anything. Halfway through the process, I give up.
Sculpey: Hapiness and the satisfaction of making other people happy. So far I haven't found a limit I'm not willing to push myself past here, but I'm still new with it. I have found that while details in other forms of creation make me frustrated, I have lots of fun with details in sculpey.
Games: I... really don't know. A sense of purpose, perhaps? I do know that creating games is what I want most in life. Since I decided to grasp at this as a career path, I have suffered financial losses (around $50k in debts and counting), 80 hour woork weeks for months in a row, surviving on minimal food and living in the cheapest place I could find, all with no end in sight, and I was happy doing so, because it was my dream. And now, sill in debt, I have a great job as a game programmer, and I am very pleased with my life :)

I'm much different. For one, I've come to accept my various quirks and am not trying to fight them. Trying to not be gay was hard enough, much less some of the other ones.
As a teenager I was extremely shy unless I could get into a situation where I could act rather than think. I was very physical, constantly pushing the limits of my endurance and skill. And, I was indirectly suicidal. I kept taking risks that might kill me, because I knew I could not harm myself intentionally.
Now I'm fairly relaxed and outgoing, although still shy in parties. I'm a game programmer, and need to excercise much more than I do. I'm quite happy with my life and I'm very interested in staying around and staying as healthy as I can, so I can enjoy as much of life as possible.
Greatest? Hard to say. Dora: Around the World Adventure (not the one for the game boy) sold lots. Rogue Warrior was the most ambitious, not sure if they ever finished that. The most fun I've had is on one that isn't published yet so I can't talk about it.

What's keeping God from adding the step of taking on a form where he can't eat the hot burrito?

PS: I'm a programmer too :)
