One of my sons is working on his final project which requires lots of research and writing before graduating from college. Hurray! This got me thinking. What would I pick if I could get paid to research something for one whole year? Call me a geek, but this sounds like a lot of fun!
What about you? What would you research? Bonus points if it’s unrelated to your profession.

I would like to study about concert pianists or composers. Are they born with that talent or can it can be achieved through hard work, education& practice or both?? I was sitting at my piano yesterday while it was playing Pictures at an Exhibition by Mussorgsky. Although Mussorgsky was a composer in the romantic period he defied that Russian style of music & created a much different style. I watched the keyboard & marveled at the technique that would be needed to play this composition. It almost brought tears to my eyes to think that a person could accomplish a piece like this? Did they give their whole life to be able to write & play like this? I recently read the book “Claude & Collet,” the life of Claude Monet. He definitely gave his life for his painting but had innate talent when he was a child but studied his entire life. How does one center only on one thing in his life?
I would study end of life issues. Our culture does not do end of life well and it could be so much better. I would be interested in studying how other cultures deal with dying and end of life care. I would like to study the role of an End of Life Doula- how to help guide persons and families in what should be a natural process.
