If you could be guaranteed to learn to do one thing really well, what skill would you choose?

Me, I think I'd learn how to play guitar. Although, it might be nice to play piano "really well" instead of just "moderately well, given intermediate-level sheet music and plenty of time to practice."

Given the "Guarantee" factor I would have to say medicine. I am learning new (medical) things every day but given the Guarantee option I would become a doctor, Not just a paramedic. I would specialize in infectious diseases, and treating those who are affected by them including the families of sick people.They are often the forgotten victims of the illness process.

Telekenesis. Unless it was accompanied by severe headaches like the episode of Twilight Zone I saw one time. =)

I would have to say piano, as well. I play moderately well, but I would like to be able to play Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1. And I would like to make a living at it and tour the world.

Or it would be cool to be an Olympic level ice skater.

Or just to be really good at Stratego.
