Talents

[Sam]

My mind changes a lot.

 

I suppose the thing I consider myself most talented at is guitar, I'm not great, but compared to others who've played the same amount of time as me, definitely.

 

I am a pretty alright sportsman. Very much an all-round type person. I have played hmm:thinking:......... about 8...... I think..... sports in my time.

 

 

^OK all that I just said then is a very optimistic me, most of the time I would never really consider myself talented at anything. Sometimes I just think I'm some piece of crap that can't do anything.

 

What talents do you have?

Do you rate your skill in a certain area based on your goals, or based on other people?

Guitaring, pianoing, singing (Sortof), I consider myself a good songwriter. Im pretty good at drumming, and lots of fiddly instruments like

 

I just rule at football, especially lately. Ive become a forward player, I've got the Golden Boot just about every time at the 7-a-side comps, which is like 20 times since last October. I'm pretty all-round in sports generally.

 

I play in pool competitions, and have won more times then not. Just amateur comps though.

 

One surprising talent is swimming, my friend used to swim for Zimbabwe a few years ago and when we went to the pool I was slightly slower then him. He kept beating me by like, a hand. I'm quick.

 

Creative writing, I used to be able to put together some real good stories. My high school had this Millenium essay competition which everyone, 11-18, took part in, which I won. I also won a few things that were competitions held on TV, as well as 2 internet ones which I got money for. Im just not developing that talent any more, which is kind of a shame.

 

Photography and filming could be a talent, if I really went for it, which I'll have to next year as part of my course. But even just taking pictures on mobile phones, I'm good at angles and such. Anytime people want to take a picture of all of us on a night out, I'm always the one holding the camera, not in the photo, darn my skills :( :( :(

But seriously, that is quite an amazing repetoir.

Never knew you played violin, you learn new things everday.

[Sambo3000]

Im kinda good at playing the piano...Im fairly average at most sports, possibly above average at football....probably not though. :dozey:

 

Errrm, Im good at creative writing and history and languages.

 

Thats all....I think. :\

You appear to have forgotten "modesty"!!:P

[Sambo3000]

It's better to admit to your talents then to try and be modest all the time, then you'll never fulfill your potential.

Not at all - most genuinely talented people don't go overboard about it, as actions speak louder than words!;)

[Sambo3000]

But you cant act if you dont put yourself forward...I mean you must admit to having some sort of talent, saying 'oh, I'm crap at everything, I have no talents' wont get you very far.

That's the other extreme. You just need to be aware of what you can do - you don't need to mouth off about it all the time!;)

[Sambo3000]

I know, but just because Reilly is extremely talented at many things and admits to it, doesn't mean he mouths off about it all the time.

 

Well....maybe....:dozey:

The way you stated yours was fine!:)

[Reilly]

Mark my first reaction to your first post was to laugh, because it was funny, but your responses since then have been so incredibly gimpy.

 

Actions speak louder then words? You are a walking cliche, thats your talent.

 

How can I act on here that shows you my footy skills? Or swimming?

 

I'm a talented person, I usually pick up on stuff and learn how to do it really quickly, people around me know this and sometimes haaate me for it in a jokingly way, its just a fact and I'm responding to this thread with it.

 

You just sound jealous.

[mc_squared]

^Not at all - but that sounds incredibly big-headed!:rolleyes:

 

Don’t waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you’re ahead, sometimes you’re behind. The race is long, and in the end, it’s only with yourself.

 

Whatever you do, don’t congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself, either.

 

;)

I know it sounded big headed, but its true.

 

Your a disturbance, I simply responded to the thread, all of it is true, factual, and youve only come in here to put me down and put the thread off course.

 

At the end of the day I dont even think that winning medals or money doesnt mean anything as to who you are as a person, so my talents have nothing to do with me congratulating myself, they are just a part of me that I have no reason to deny or ignore.

 

And try to get a life and stop quoting that old ass sunscreen song.

Why should I? It's as relevant now as it ever was!:cool:

[Reilly]

Nice way to dodge all the truthful things I just said.

 

Oh yeah, I forgot tennis and acting :nice: Eat that.

[Lera]

Hmmm....My talents are not discovered yet but when they are I'll tell ya :nice:

Sometimes people don't tell the truth :mellow:

True - and very often they exaggerate (especially when talking about themselves)!!;)
