People are typically good at things that they're interested in. We tend to work hard at those things and by doing so, we refine and hone our skill levels in that area. Honestly, if you enjoy it, it really doesn't matter whether you're good at it or not unless you plan on making a career out of it. If you enjoy it, it makes you happy and happiness is what life is all about.

yoU'll know you are good a t it when you are complimented for..but for that you'll have to perform it so that others can find out about it.. But as long as you enjoy doing it it doesn't matter if you're good at it...that's when you can call it a"HOBBY".

You are good at something if it is your passion. It means that you imagine yourself doing that thing until you grow old. Being good at something will make you receive praises from many people. You are good at something if you really enjoy doing it. Nothing beat what's written in your heart. If you like it, most likely you'll be good at it. One thing that improves us on things we are good at is joining a group of people with the same passion as yours. A singer goes to a choir. A basketball player finds his team. A teacher goes to teach in school with other teachers. God gave us the talents and passion to help each other out and make this world a good place to live with.

i know that i am good at something or naturally good at something when i had done it without any help from others and without any formal or direct study of the things i am good at. i am not good at singing nor even playing some instruments but i am good at technical stuffs. my creativity flows naturally and i can work it out alone.

I know I am good at something when people compliment my work. It would even be justified if people who have your same interest would ask for your tips, and advise on how you do your craft so they could be as good as you are.
