What are you good/bad at?

27 Dec 2007

I've just been told I should nurse someone better tomorrow, as I've told them to go to a party even though they feel poorly.
Now, I don't do nursing or sympathy very well. When faced with a cut, I am of the 'it's not dropped off, you'll live' brigade. Think we've only used one normal sized packet of plasters since the kids were young (they are now 16 and 17 years old).
However, I am a good listener (even though I don't really do the 'poor you' thing)and I can usually see a logical, practical and sensible solution to a problem. And I'm good at English.

I am not sure there is a point in being good at anything really.
The idea that you are accomplished at anything usually causes other people to react in the most peculiar ways, usually hatred; in its various forms.

I thought the Wii was supposed to be realistic. Is it 'cos the balls are not so heavy?
I seem to be bad at organising meself at the mo'.
Angelica reckons I'm good at being a pain in the neck - 'specially when I'm poorly. (I'm good at denying that one - I pretend to be grumpy when I deny it, so it looks authentic!)

Mrs Bone is the only person on this thread (so far) that has answered FB's question sincerely (you forgot cake icing btw). Why is it that people don't want to add their bit? Are they afraid of being seen as blowing their own trumpets? Or as Duncan says being subject to hate (in reality envy/jealousy) rather than appreciation?
Boy that is just so sad, we are ALL good at something, a redeeming feature or skill that makes us what we are and appreciated by others.
Me:
Good at
Cooking/entertaining
Exceptionally organised
Been told I host fabulous parties
Being very loyal
Bad at
Small talk with people I don't warm too
Interuppting when I want my say redface

Being patient
Philosophical rant over

I think the things we do well we sometimes take for granted and therefore don't consider them yet beat ourselves up about the things we can't do, which is a bit negative really.
The things I can do well and take for granted;
Draw
Drive
Listen
Cook
Solve problems
DIY
Sew
Have patience (unless it's with kids biggrin

)
Spontaneity
Sing
Things I can't do but wish I could
Play a musical instrument
Be methodical and organised
Photography
Be gregarious

This is quite difficult to answer really I think, because whether we do something well or not is down to perception.
For instance I play the flute. If you compare me to James Galway etc etc I play it badly lol

if you're comparing me to someone (who can just about get a note out of it) then I play it very well. wink
