I wish I had been born into the era of science where I'm smart enough to discover things. I can't code. I can't do calculus. I would have thrived in the 19th century where I could invent washing my hands and be considered a world-class doctor.

Actually, the doctor who invented washing hands was ridiculed and ostracized.
