Write your own fortune!

I give you a fortune cookie, you manage to slip the piece of paper out of it without breaking it, for if you break the cookie to get to it, it won't come true. But alas! The paper is blank. You grab a pen to write your own. What do you write? What fortune do you bring upon yourself?

Today's megamillion lottery numbers are 11-21-37-46-52.
You will have a happy and long life, infact your life will be so long you'll be sitting around in a black hole for 12 trillion years while the rest of the universe slowly collapses into your position, but you'll be really happy for a really long time during that really long time!
I would write my own fortune as follows: "You will be successful in your chosen career and you will marry your true love."

I know, that's two fortunes...well, I'd take the former and maybe the latter would come about someday.
10 billion dollars. That should be enough.
Sadly, not true :(
@A_Dragon_Riding_King , I found true love when I was still relatively unsuccessful (despite no longer being that youthful). I got a hint that it could be found when I encountered a truly kind, diligent and intelligent person. The pulchritude was merely an added bonus.

Where do you find such a person? More likely in grad school than a bar. Not that it would be impossible in a bar. Nothing is impossible, as they say.

But grad school seems more likely. For those with less patience or perhaps a quicker wit, undergrad school might serve just as well. I've been told that mixed-gender soccer might provide a wonderful surprise, also.

But don't miss a diamond by focusing on sequins. Not all that glitters is gold, if I can add-on another stale metaphor.
