How many Masters are in your Debater society?

I can kill people effectively. I'm also a good writer, and once I get back to college I see it becoming something I'm not only good at, but something where I'm great.

I've been through the all thread and happily discovered that Madals was good at basketball, Chief plays the guitar and compose crazy songs, Surielx is a great volley ball player, Trixsta is a beast at Age of Empire (I'm jealous of this one I confess), Hobbit is good at billiard, Fisher makes girls cry while playing the piano, ... Little by little I started to ask myself what I was good at... No answer was coming to my mind.

This post killed me... LOL
I've never joined any sport association when I was young, I've never learned to play any instruments, I've never really learned to draw, paint or anything like that... Yet, I love all these stuff. My parents were just too busy working to take me to that kind of activities. I'm not even blaming them for that. What did I do in high school? nothing. No art, no sports, no girls... I only got my fist girl friend at 18... Speaking about school, I've always been a pretty decent student. I was one of the bests in my high school but to be honest the general level was low. Today, I'm in one of the top 6 Business School in France and I'm attending the best university of South America for one semester. Not bad, especially since my parents did not even know how to write French when I was little.

I love to learn things, I'm curious and enjoy discovering new fields. I basically learn everything from the Internet nowadays. I've now some skills in graphic design, web design, photography... but not enough to say I'm good at it.

So yeah, I'm a bit embarrassed of admitting that the only thing I can really say I'm good at is languages... I can speak French, Portuguese, Spanish and English.

What am I waiting for? I'm going to prepare a list of hobbies/activities I want to be good at and smash them. It perfectly matches the goal of my journey.

The thing that makes a man useful in life is specialization - being good at something!

I don't see why you feel bad. You're good at something. Not many people are fluent in 4 languages. I barely know 2.

It's important to KNOW that you're good at something when you're actually good at it.

If you're really good at something, you'd be reminded of this over, over, and over again. The idea is to accept it, enjoy it, and work to get better at it.

By the way, we might think of our own abilities as a specializations but others will often characterize us through our skills. So if you're a guitar player, they don't just see you as a 'guitar player'; they perceive you as an entertainer, as somebody fun, emotional. A good student will be perceived as hard working, driven, well organized, focused, etc . . . No matter what that 'thing' is, there are attributes for being good at it beyond the actual specialization that ATTRACT others to you.

I once knew a D student who was accepted to Harvard . . . he was an Olympic team member at age 16! Harvard isn't best known for their athletic programs. They didn't accept this guy for his wrestling skills. They accepted him because they were ATTRACTED to the attributes that made him a 16 year old Olympian. If interested enough in anything, he will excel at it.

Everybody has a 'way-in' to excellence. This is why the message, "Get good at ANYTHING" is important. The formula for success is pretty much similar cross all endeavors. I once asked a professor at Berkley School of Music if there were any commonalities in his best students/musicians. His answer, "Whether they played because their parents forced them or because they loved it, they all PLAYED ALL THE TIME. . . they practiced ALL THE TIME." - Sounds simple . . . but notice many journals that span over just a few pages in FR? The ratio between those who persist and those who do not is just as lopsided here as it is in the real World.

im really good at public speaking, but im honestly good at everything which is something that i really take pride in. any sport, instrument, task, or job i will either be already pretty damn good at, or i will learn, and excel at it quickly.

I played guitar for 10 odd years and only ever got to average joe status at it. I stuck at it this long because it's what I wanted to get good at.
Since reading this post about 6 months ago it reminded me of something someone had told me I was good at but I wasn't all that fussed about because it wasn't that glorious hence desirable.
I started playing the drums 10 months ago and I'm now in a semi professional band earning £400 a gig (between us lol) and i'm still not that fussed! People keep telling me i'm as good as guys who've been playing 10 yrs.
Point is with this knowledge my self confidence and self worth has exploded when approaching women in general - but without focusing on getting really good at something I have a natural ability for rather that something I wanted to get good at- I still wouldn't be good at anything.

Thanks for sharing this article Hobbit. I loved it.

I'm damn good at exploiting opportunities when they come my way, and I'll continue to be.

Im realy good at giving hobbies up :\

seriously though I always come to a point where I play the guitar were I just loose all motivation to continue learning a song and exceeding in my ability.

Or trying to learn how to write electronic music , I enjoy it at the beggining and then I loose motivation and switch off.

Im not going to give up though I am determined to exceed in my ability's
