Of course, it was easy for a mom to feel smug with a perfect child. In her opinion, you always bright home straight A's. You are helpful around the house. You are bright, affectionate, and considerate of others. To her way of thinking, you are a perfect talented person. Unfortunately, the way others see that, no such creature will ever exist! Sure, we are not meant to be perfect, but at least, we should empoly every means to have one talent, shouldn't we? A is very good at computer! Just so we are absolutely clear, A can easily fix lots of virus issues like a piece of cake! For what it is worth, people admire A for this great computer talent!B is very good at drawing! The character lives in B's paintings. Well, few things could be better! You can say that the miraculous effect of B's talent has raised some great eyebrows. C is very good at working hard! Perseverance makes success and success makes talent! 10 years go by, the effort almost have burnt C out, yet nobody ever got to know it. Afterall, C ends up with gaining worldwide fame overnight.D is very good at playing the piano. The aftersound lingers around the house more than three days - others will cherish the memory for the rest of their lives! This is so-called music talent. ................. X may say that I am good at gambling and I lose money all the time; Y tells you that I am so good at drinking that I drink away my life! Z states that the only thing that I know is I don't know anything!It sounds mean to say it, still, people may call them, losers! So, what are you good at? Come on, don't be so modest! Please just tell me Best wishes, guys!

Hi hiddenwing, I've been told that I'm a good storyteller and I like to write short stories. I'm also considered a fair public speaker and have often chaired public meetings and that sort of thing but I don't do much of it anymore, writing is my hobby now. I am without doubt a people person and this is where my talents lie.I am not a handyman by any stretch of the imagination and could never be described as a Jack of all trades. Blessings.

Oh, that's great! I admire people who writes well! I guess some writers are inbred. You might be one of them! Good to see you!

I think jacks of all trades are good at learning skills and knowing the connections of things and how it works. In my opinion, The leaders are jacks of all trades.

I would have to say that I am definitely a jack of all kinds of trades. I am not a master of any of them though but some people would disagree with that. I just do the best job possible at everything I do and I am always willing to learn and do more the right way.

Our daughter thinks that I was very good at being a mother. Her brother thinks that I did the best that I knew how at the time. My mother and most of my teachers thought that I was a good student. Boy, did I have them fooled. No, I didn't cheat. I was just good at filling the blanks. The only real talent that I ever had was hand sewing, for which there is little to no market. That does not matter, as MS took that skill away. What am I really good at? The obvious answer is nothing. I'm not even good at drinking or gambling, as I don't participate in either.

I have always secured average marks al my student life. My mother had more expectations of me. I wasnt let to do things I enjoyed. After a lot of thinking I feel it is okay to be average, atleast Im not poor!!! hi hi I think that is how we should look at life positively. I can do excellent hand embroidery, I can stitch clothes to such a perfection that no one will make out the diffrence between a stiched one and a ready made one!!! I cook certain dishes very well with very less time. I keep my home and especially sparkling clean. I can arrange things perfectly. Still at times I think why didnt I become the person I wanted to be??? It is all about how we look at life and our capabilities and achievements. However small they are, never ever underestimate them. Think that there are many out there who do not even know how to do certain things...and that I manage pretty well...
