Are there any special talents or skills that you wish you possessed?

I wish I could play the piano.

Judy, 62
Easton, KS USA

Tons! I wish I were good at skiing, working on cars, skating, surfing, skateboarding, sitting still, being in charge of people, finding great jobs, making lots of money, getting all the housework done, fencing, kayaking, eating foods I don't like, writing stuff my husband will like/appreciate, being brave, being nice, saving money, being patient (but only to an extent! if you're TOO patient, you don't really get what you want, usually), making decisions, etc., etc.!

I wish I could fix my own car, do my own plumbing and electrical work, do really wonderful carpentry work, fix anything that broke around my house...I wish I could play guitar, sing without scaring people away...and that's about it for now!

I don't know if it's necessarily a talent or just an eagerness to learn, but I have a knack for being able to pick up on foreign languages pretty quickly ~ including sign language. Worth mentioning also ... near perfect pitch musically.

Break dancing, cooking, being magnanimously socially adept.

Cristin, 25
Frisco, TX USA

Patience.

Jill, 61
Saylorsburg, PA USA

I'd like to be able to play piano or guitar.

Laura, 38
Lowell, MA USA

I wish I had the power to fly. That would just be cool!

Stephanie, 27
TX USA

I wish I could sing and play the guitar.

Cindy, 41
VA USA

It would be nice to be able to play the piano or guitar. Guess I shouldn't have focused on only playing the Tuba.

Ryan, 29
Riedlingen GERMANY

I wish I could excel at anything traditionally deemed creative (I.e. writing, painting, dancing, acting, playing music, singing). Alas I am only creative in the way I approach organizing things.

Felicia, 37
Lowell, MA USA

I wish I understood about finance and investing.

Janet, 45
E. Brunswick, NJ USA

I've always wished that I had a good singing voice and a real talent for music.

Jane, 63
West Linn, OR USA

I wish, wish, wish, I had the talent of making friends; friends that would stick by me.

Reba, 57
Gaithersburg, MD USA

I wish I were more focused. I often become distracted when I'm supposed to be working on something else.

Cathie, 53
Novi, MI USA

Without getting into those things that would make me rich and famous, I honestly wish I had a bit more musical ability. Nothing to make me a "Star", but some talent... an ability to strum away on a guitar, play a piano, violin or sax. I can sing a bit, but not real well... I'd really like to have some ability to play an instrument.

Doug2, 30
Kansas City, KS USA

Anything that would help me woo some cool young lass would be appreciated.

A-Dog, 20
Eugene, OR USA

I can play the piano by reading music, but I really wish I could just sit down and play by ear. I also wish I could play the guitar.

Tracy, 24

gymnastics, ice skating (figure)
