Title: One skill or talent
Post by: KarlMars on August 22, 2016, 09:23:52 PM
If you could choose just one skill or talent to be the best in the world at [or you can list several if you can't make up your mind which] and you could NOT use this talent for financial gain what would it be and why?

What's yours?

I would choose being able to pick winning lottery numbers. No, no, no, don't get me wrong. I don't want to spend the money. I just want to roll around naked in it!  >:-) :laugh:

Hugs, Devlyn

I would love to be able to levitate and fly around, for the purpose of taking the strain off my hips and lower back. I have experienced paralysis, so this would really come in handy.

Just one talent?
To be good at everything then!

Maybe be able to be an extrovert and have the ability to talk to anyone. Being able to play an instrument has always appealed to me. Or being able to paint and draw realist art; I could make a lot of money  :D

That's perfectly understandable. Makes good sense.

I like that. I had to google his name, that's impressive.

One skill I could not do without is being a good father to the most incredible kids on earth. I soothes my desire to nurture, which has always been present. The most incredible days of my life was the times I watched my babies being born. I was so envious of my wife even though she went through a lot of pain.

That's how I am with my kids. I gave birth to two out of three of them (the oldest is my partner's daughter from a previous relationship). I've always been a nurturing person so raising my kids just comes naturally to me. Some of the best days of my life were when my two boys were born. It hasn't been that long since, they're both 1 and 3, and I really can't imagine my life without them. Even though I'm a guy and I thought being pregnant was uncomfortable, I loved feeling the little guys move around in my tummy. And getting to hold them for the first time when they were born was an amazing experience. That was probably one of the only things I like about being a trans guy.

My parenting skills, being able to write fictional stories and playing bass guitar are the only things I'm good at, so those would be the three talents/skills I'd pick (I'm having a hard time picking just one).

That's easy. Being me. It's no doubt the only thing I could ever be the best at in the world so I'm happy to do so. However, I won't rule out using it toward financial gain.

Being the best in the world might come with some consequences. o.o

Anyway, I pick the oboe. Or if I could, I would pick all wind instruments. I love them all. It would be so fun to have the ability to be able to play them all and record and make my own arrangements.

Heck make it all instruments, then I could add harpsichord and percussion to my arrangements.
