What are you best at doing?

Post Reply New Topic

What is the thing that you are best at doing? It could be something you love doing, or not. I am just interested in what every else here excels at. I personally am really good at creating schedules. For example, at uni, you have to make your class schedule so that you can figure out what to take and how it will all fit in together. I love doing this and am really good at it. It's completely random, I know but I love every part of the process.

My special interests are genealogy, history, law and politics. While I excel in genealogy and law because of my ability to be precise (lawmakers really like me writing or reviewing their bills for unintended consequences), it is exactly this precision that ended up bothering people with whom I worked in politics (they despised my pointing out that their plans violated laws). My interest in history is probably the most casual of my interests; precision helps, but isn't necessary to appreciate and enjoy it.

So, yeah, I can do a mean schedule, too!

Math

Memorizing trivia: Jeopardy!, Trivial Pursuit-type stuff

Memorizing classical music pieces, their titles, and composers

computer programming

Writing. I do this nearly every single day, and I can also use it to express myself. :3 That's all I can think of that I'm actually the best at right now.

I am the absolute best at petting dogs

Writing. I write almost every day. Writing is an escape into my own world and a true sense of freedom.

Skiing, BMX, and current events are my day-to-day strong suits, though when opportunities present themselves I'm a logician. I particularly enjoy visualizing computing processes, socialogical happenings and the human diaspora.

Learning. I like learning new stuff and I'm very good at it.

Computer programming too. I love the feeling you get when you've just finished writing a very complex piece of code, that actually works .

I am best at my music. I play organ and other keyboards, trombone, and both mountain and hammered dulcimers. However, my career is in the language arts at a public school. I am a professional organist and receive a salary for that as well. I have literary work published in three books at present and am working on some writing projects now. I feel I am very good at writing in both nonfiction and fiction.

Budgeting, paying bills, and knowing the exact total spent in a grocery , due to my happy ability to add long strings of numbers and calculating appropriate tax.

I have always succeeded far more learning by myself via my own methods, organizing everything I want, how I want. I also act quite pretentious when others comment on my perceptiveness because it has always been the favourite lifelong trait of myself. My parents would always comment how I was arduously curious, I just wish that I was more intelligent to make use of it.

If those don't count, then probably computer programming.

Internet research.

Interacting on forums despite severe difficulties interacting in real life.
Also photography.
And target shooting.

If I am passionate about a cause or a particular point of view - I can organize fairly concise and tight arguments methodically putting forward a case in a very convincing manner. However, I can get very frustrated and neurotic in those situations too.

I'm good at writing, music, math and discovered 2 years ago that i am really good at programing.

At this point I am really good at hammering the refresh button on this forum and feeilng guilty for doing sweet f all.
