What Makes You Special?

I would like to think that every single person is great at something; that each and every one of us has some great talent, and part of life is finding that talent and using it to benefit others.
Out of the people I am closest with, there is a life-saver, a fighter, a lover, a chef, an athlete, a comedian, a drinker, a hard worker, and the list goes on. If you look at the people you know, you can quickly identify them by their best skill. It can be anything in the world and it usually leads to their personality. It is also important to find oneself.
Without being totally big-headed and completely honest, I see myself as the psychologist. I am good at reading people, listening to people, and helping people.
What is your skill? Don't be shy and don't feel cocky about something that you feel to be true about who you are. It's tuff to do both.
-------------------- So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.

I don't believe that we are defined by the roles that we play, that we are not life-savers, chefs, fighters, comedians or waiters. We simply are. To identify with a role, to play a role is, to use Sartres term, in 'bad faith.' We are more than our roles, and we are nothing. We choose things.
As for my particular skills or talents, I am good at playing the flute, arguing, empathizing, writing, cooking a small selection of dishes, and psycho-analysing myself and others. I find that I am good at anything I focus on and devote myself to studying. I am currently learning how to be good at playing drums, gardening, committing to projects, and having romantic relationships.

I like to think that I'm pretty good at seeing both sides of an issue. I think that's why I tend to take the middle ground on a lot of issues. I'm also fairly introspective and constantly re-examining my actions, thoughts, and beliefs.

I've got a knack for aceing tests with very very little study.
Example is getting a 91 and 95 on my midterms with under 2 hours of study TOTAL. That means all semester, and those 2 hours were within the 2 days leading up to the test. I guess it's more attributed to an amazing memory.
I've also got that tendacy to find shortcuts to basically everything. Hard to explain, but if you get my vibe, you understand.

I'm a good singer, particularly in a choir setting (baritone), I'm a terrific actor, I have written an exquisite poem, I am wittier than most of my peers, and I am able to look at both sides of an argument.
That's what makes me special.

im pretty amazing actually. and im not trying to be cocky or anything. people sometimes make that mistake but im just being real. i can play any instrument pretty fuckin amazingly and without practice or anything... im good at pretty much everything else there is too... and im a very good person... etc etc etc etc etc etc etc... the music thing just stands out more cus its something i specifically like a lot and i mentioned it first... but how would you know anything i say is real so.. whatever.. im just saying how i feel and how i percieve things... and i am one of a kind. but that doesnt really make me special. im still just a fuckin pawn in this hellhole world. im just another human that was given gifts/talents... so it depends how you look at it.

The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity. ~ Albert Einstein "Fear is the great barrier to human growth." ~ Dr. Robert Monroe ~~~*Dosis sola facit venenum*~~~ *Check my profile to listen to my music*
