You Got Talent

If you could pick a new talent, what would it be?  Something that you’ve always wished you where able to do.  Not a super power or anything.  A real, skill that could be practical or maybe just for fun.  I know some people would like to know how to play a musical instrument.  Others might want to know a new language, have skills to build/fix things or become an artist.  If you could pick one, what would you want to know?  My Dad is a carpenter by trade and as I get older, I have a greater appreciation for the artistry of what he does.  My choice would be to be able to be a better handyman or woodworker.  To be able to build things for my house would be fantastic!  I’m not looking to build a new house, but the skills needed to make and finish tables and cabinets.

Then needs to ask yourself.  Why don’t I have this skill?  Mostly, it would take time and money.  Sometimes we lack one or both of those to get a new talent started.  You almost have to look at it like an investment.  Maybe I could start with something small.  Like a stand for my dog’s water bowl.  I think I could handle that.

What talent would you like to have?

    I would like to be a more eloquent speaker. I tend to get tongue-tied in certain situations. Having a commanding, confident voice could really help me get further in life.

    If we are talking about skills that we’d like to improve far beyond where they currently are, then I’d like to be better at:
    -Playing the guitar
    -Furniture design
    -Cooking

    If we are talking about skills that we totally lack, then:
    -Drawing
    -Video/sound editing
    -Parkour (I’m probably too old for this one, unfortunately)

    I know, it is an odd mish-mash….

      Oh, cooking is a great one! I want to add that one to my list too! Parkour would also be awesome, but I’m sure I’m too old as well.
