Basically by enhanced, I mean do something better than you could before beyond physical limits. You can't start shooting fireballs and stuff like that tho;/

For example, if I could have enhanced speed, I'd learn how to use a sword and learn to deflect bullets like greyfox. Id work for the government and target known terrorist leaders for $1 million a pop :)

EDIT: Feel free to elaborate on what you would do with this ability and how it would change your life.

Wouldn't be super strength.
I'd choose either speed or stamina. Probably stamina because I've got asthma and have, well, minimal stamina.

I would've picked learning retention/genius, but then I thought "hey, it's useless if someone assassinates me!"

so I'd go for speed, which includes reflexes.

If you were allowed to go faster than the speed of light, you could go back in time as well... yummm....

If you're fast and strong enough to a) perceive a bullet's trajectory and b) be able to wield a sword with enough control, speed, and force to deflect said bullet, wouldn't it be easier just to move out of the way?

The ability to learn and retain knowledge on a exponential scale.

(Kinda like Matrix. Read an encyclopedia, and remember everything in it.)

I'd go for enhanced sleeping abilities. Sleep for one hour, and been fully refreshed for another 23 hour day...

<--Annoyed by the human requirement to sleep...

do elaborate

I have photographic memory and its kind of a self teaching skill. You learn to use cues to trigger your memories. Whether its words or objects.

Thats how I can rattle of the names and proper doses and indications of nearly any class of commonly prescribed medications used by my hospital...

Or to put it another way, you have to contextualize your memories.

Dunno, it's hard to explain.

This is correct. Most lectures will start with picture association.
