    Question What are you good at ?

    I mean, really good at ?

    John Lennon said:

    "I`m an artist. Give me a frigging tube, and I`ll make something out of it."

    Me ?
    I`d say that I`m really good at surviving, think I proved that to myself about a million times. But I don`t know if that is a special gift, if I have had good training, maybe pure luck.
    But I can`t think of one dang thing that I`m really good at, like something what people would remember me by.
    Some folks say I can write a good story ( at least in my first language ), but I think that those stories are far from good.

    My wife says that I`m good at being a husband.
    Maybe that`s not to bad either.

    But, I`m no carpenter, no painter, no writer, not a really good guitar player, well, all in all, no Da Vinci is hidden somewhere inside of me.

    What are you good at, as in

    " Lookie here what I can do ? "

    I am really good at cooking and any type of fancy food display. Give me a few tomatoes,cukes,and parsley....I could make you a bouquet of flowers lol.
    That is about it though.

    That is a question that I have asked my self over & over - I can do plenty of things - I cannot say that I do anything well - "Jack of all trades - master of none" That is me.

    I like to think that I am a good person though, a good daughter, sister, aunt, and that is something for sure .

    Hi,

    Well, I think that'll do, no higher praise can a man get (and no better thing to be good at either IMO).

    Me?

    I'm mediocre at many things.

    Long days and pleasant nights

    (PS - But I'd like to think that I had been a good husband and my children think that I'm a good father)

    Hey man I bet if other people are telling you the stories are good, they probably are! You're always your first and worst critic, and that first critic is always the hardest one to get around when you want to try something.

    I'm the same way with art and the little writing I've done. Many people around me have praised both but something inside is just never satisfied with the work I did.

    Maybe that critic inside would be quelled with enough practice. You should keep writing man, if you enjoy doing it. You certainly have mind-blowing and moving stories to tell from the things I've seen you post in the past. Isn't the subject the hardest part? You've got that covered, all you've gotta do is figure out the presentation. I know I'd read your stuff, Srbo.

    I'd love to say it, but this board is also visited by children, right?

    There aren't a lot of things I'm to good at, but I am a good baker. The only other thing I can say I'm good at is being a geriatric nurse. These both just seem really natural to me, and I don't really have to work very hard to get things to come together with either one.

    I'm afraid I'm with draga... my skill is something XXX. Ask my husband...

    Other than that, I'm great at getting drunks out of the store where I work.
