My, tough question, just three.

Well, three that come to mind as awesome things that I use/employ regularly. There may be more awesome things out there, but here goes:

Cell phones: I can call and receive calls from anywhere, a HUGE change from the days when I could only be reached when at home.

Motorcycles: They get better and better.

24 gas pumps with card readers: Yes, fuel is available at any time. I remember sleeping by a gas station at 3am because I had to wait for them to open so I could continue on.

3 - Beer (well, there's almost nothing as good as getting drunk)

2 - Metal (metal is just great, AND you can (at least I can) get the same feeling you've got when you're tipsy by just listening to metal (making no. 3 almost redundant))

1 - Friends (friends make both of the above so much easier to enjoy)

Nah.. just give me Friends + Metal + Beer

(though it tends to coincide - most of my best friends listen to metal, and whenever I meet them we usually drink lots of beer)

Life itself,

God or knowledge of God and

a chance for mortal people to get eternal power after this one's over or when it's time(I know it's not of this world but the process begins here in this world) . . .if you're lucky enough you might actually . . . nah . . . but some do.
The kind of power that would make every single tyrant that had and has ever lived to cry in envy anyway who told them to build their castle on sand where death swallowed it but then again you can't get and even couldn't have wanted what you know nothing about.
I wished Jesus would be more frank follow me and I'll give you the greatest power than man could ever dream of and it is forever. But that would probably attract the wrong kind of people . . . people such as Genghis Khan, Ieyasu, Stalin, Hitler . . .but on the bright side the world would see far less war.
