ok, so as a counterpoint to arlene89's thread about skills:


what random, esoteric, even un-specially common skills or talents do you WISH you had?

is there something you've tried in vain to master?

is there something that almost everyone but you can do?

I wish I could tame wild animals. I look at He-Man and his Battlecat, or Jasmine from Aladdin with her big tiger, and I tell myself, 'That's so hip.' Lol.

Very few people have a very unique talent of making everyday living look easy. Down to dressing, they just look good in whatever they schlop on ... they do not appear to sweat or have anxiety... just make everything look so easy... they always have enough money to cover everyday living bills... they could stop and buy a pack of gum without juggling paying for electricity or food. They dress in the right shoes, clothes that fit.. and fit well.

The ability to make life look effortless.

Well I'd like to be able to fly or turn invisible at will.

On a more practical and realistic note, tact or at least some sort of people skills. Oh and 20/20 vision (glasses are a pain).

I can uh, play music with my teeth...no joke.

I think I can pop every joint in my body....including, but not limited to, my neck, back, knees, elbows, fingers and occasionally my hip.

I wish I could speak and understand any language at will.

I wish I could master alchemy.

I wish I could eat anything I wanted, not have to exercise, and still be thin.

I wish I could master sleeping. How I'd love to sleep through the night!

Do you mean actual skills (like playing the cello) or "impossible skills" (such as communicating with animals)?

My answer varies depending on which you're asking for...

It took me a long time to stop wishing I had the skills or talents that others had. God gave me the set of skills that He saw fit for me to have. Once I got all that through my head I started ejnoying not only my own talents more but the talents of others as well. I guess I still kind of wish I could fly though.
