Gifts you were born with

I'm currently working on a short-story science fiction anthology. Should be fun!

 

This is such a great thread!

I am gifted in the arts. Singing, dancing, performing in general. I also have a good ear for music, i've learned all my musical instruments (all stringed) by ear.
I can touch my tongue to my nose.
I can hula hoop for over 45 minutes without stopping.
I also have red hair >.> that's a gift. ..

 

Smart enough,I guess. Born with an odd sense of timing related to basketball where trickiness allowed me to get off shots against anyone ,anytime. I suppose I shot hundreds and hundreds of weird,goofy-looking shots to use against opponents. Coulda' played NBA for sure. Blew it--didn't follow thru. The ability to whip a softball very fast almost the first time I picked it up. Good at hand-eye co-ordination. Intuitive, empathetic and the desire to look for the humor in everything said and in all situations. Without humor,life's a bummer. Ability to look at the BIG picture. Ability to turn loose of ALL possesions at any given time and move on,which I've done many times. That's about it.

 

Hmmm I'm a natural leader, organizer, and communicator.

I excel in logical and physical activities.

 

I posted in this already but I forgot my completely useless yet very unique talent.

I have an uncanny sense of time. Its something about myself that annoys me because I'm constantly trying to get outside of the constraints of time and into a more zen state of mind, and yet I can guess the exact time within a couple of minutes. everytime.

Even after spending days camping and having no reason to be aware of the clock, I have some internal function that is constantly aware of the clock. Sometimes my friends will quiz me after we've been camping a couple of days, and I'm usually within 5 minutes of the exact time.

What a worthless talent.

 

So did I but I forgot to add I can draw cartoons using both hands simultaneously.
[but write left-handed].


ALSO a pretty pointless talent.

 

Maybe knowing when to simply just walk away.

 

i can make perfect water drop sounds with my mouth ...without tapping my cheek like most people do it

 

the one gift sapient beings are born with, that makes us what we are, is imagination and the desire to express it creatively.

 

the gift of life

 

I'm just a gift to the women of this world.

I'm gifted (and cursed) with a highly developed sense of empathy.

 

:2thumbsup:

Still, always fun to watch em' eat crow.

Warned granny about that collapse, she could have listened and put it all in Gold, would be filthy comfortable right about now. Now, not so much.

 

That's wild. It could be the brain hard wired from our nomadic ancestors.

That is a gift. Great comedians have that.

 

the gift of my mothers love was the first gift i was introduced to at birth.an from a very young age being able to see everything exactly as it was.watching and listening to adults an knowing who was being real an who was'nt.all masks removed!the gift of being very intuitive,perceptive and the gift of insight,which can be a real curse too sometimes,cos when your seeing whats already good is beautiful,but when your seeing bad its really ugly looking.i also have psychic dreams as well as normal ones.i know the minute i wake again which is which.i also see pictures in the palms of people's hands an know things i was never told and dont know why.never will understand all of it.i just accept it's there.other gifts are writing,songs poems an stories.an natural abstract drawing an painting.i give them to friends for birthday an xmas gifts.an i'm a brilliant sewer by hand an machine.i even sewed a man up once.my friends friend.he had a big huge deep cut right across the top of his hand an was losing loadsa blood.he could'nt go to the hospital, cos the cops had it surrounded waiting to catch him. i sewed his hand up with just a little sewing neddle an black thread.it was hard,cos flesh is pretty tough ta sew through.he came looking for me 5yrs later to thank me again, an i was amazed at how neat a job i'd done.the scar was barely visible.i should have been a surgeon ha! ha!i make nice jewellery too.an i'm a bulleye shot at archery.the gift of understanding,empathy and compassion.strangers always tell me they felt instantly comfortable in my presence,so i suppose thats a gift too.and trust.i'm very trusted by people,cos they know whatever they tell me big or small will never leave my lips ,an go to the grave with me.i'm a brilliant dancer too.but the greatest gift of all is having the capacity to love, unconditionally!!!, an thats a great gift to have, cos thats the only kind of love thats real.

 

I can listen to a motor, transmission or engine and tell whats wrong with it.

 

that makes you a natural born mechanic.thats a gift too,

 

I'm quite satisfied with the size of that thing down there, my musical talent, and my sense of humor! Oh and my blue eyes maybe?

 

space bars..

 

I'm really good at typing LOL and at bitching Oh and I'm a redhead, that should be a talent on it's own.
