If you were given three wishes, what would you ask?

Author's note: This essay was written about more than 1 year ago. It's a bit funny to meet this writing again because I think my three wishes would be entirely different if I'm asked this question now. Well, I'll still have the first wish but maybe I won't have the second wish and I have a big NO to wish the third one. I don't remember that I was this thankful and happy.

In many stories, the protagonist characters were given a number of wishes, usually three. There are certainly many people who want to have some wishes. They can ask what they really want in life. If I were given three wishes, I would ask great wisdom, peace, and something. The third wish is a secret. I will explain the reasons why I choose them.

I would ask great wisdom because I think that I can get many other things by having it. If I had great wisdom, I could make wise decisions in life so that I could be successful, patient, rich, happy, and many other things. Furthermore, if I had wisdom, I would consider myself, others, the world, and God. In addition, I would be able to help others with their problems if I had great wisdom. In short, the advantage I would get if I had great wisdom is that I would be able to know what would be the best thing I should do in any situation.

I would choose peace as my second wish because peace is one of the most important things in the world. If this world were peaceful, many problems would be solved and all good aspects in the world would develop. I am sure that everyone would be happy. Then, if this world were peaceful, people could make this world a better place for everyone. Peace is not only for human beings. Animals and environment need peace, too. Thus, people should keep the animals and environment better.

The third wish is the most difficult one to choose. I get the other two wishes in less than three minutes respectively. I nonetheless need more than thirty minutes to choose the third one. Then, for my third wish, I would ask that the two wishes are cancelled and the three wishes should be given to someone who needs them the most in the world instead. I know this is probably one of the most foolish wishes you have ever heard in your whole life up until now. After a deep thought searching for the third wish, I realise that my life is actually perfect. I do not want to get anything instantly because it will not make any sense. Whatever I wish, I should try to make the wishes come true. I believe a proverb that says, “Where there is a will, there is a way”.

I realise that everything I wish will ruin my own life. If the three wishes were granted, this life would not be exciting anymore. I have been living for more than 15 years in this world. Fifteen years is enough for me that everything in this life happens on purpose. Moreover, none of the purpose is disadvantageous for everyone. I realise that many bad things which happened in my life make me stronger, wiser, and more patient.

On the whole, I have explained about my wishes. They are wisdom, peace, and the surprising third wish. I have also explained the reasons. I realise that if I were given three wishes, I should use them well because many people want the three wishes. However, I am not a protagonist in a fairy tale. My life is absolutely perfect. What else can I wish?

  2. A lot of people think the same way yo do. But no matter how rich, famous, happiest person we are, we don't have a perfect life. Everyone one of us has problems they might be littles or biggers, but no matter how big they are everyone of us has a problem to deal with it and yes at first it may seem like if your life its awful but those problems or bad situations plus your decision in everyone one of them are the ones that make you the way you are now and make your life maybe not perfect but interesting.
