What are you the best at?

Post Reply New Topic

What are you the absolutely best at doing? Not necessarily compared to other people, but just what do you do best? For myself, I am very good at making schedules- like my school schedule for classes.. I always make them myself and I love doing it. I thrive on the difficulty of fitting the pieces (hours or classes) together so that they all fit.
What about you?

Good question! Better than some of the posts about what we're NOT good at!

Me: I'm the best at imagining new scenarios and even entire new worlds on the fly without preparation. My imagination may have been matched but not surpassed. Unfortunately I'm only interested in using my imagination to play Dungeons & Dragons. I'm a Dungeon Master. This does not pay well.... it does not pay at all. But I'm good at it!

I'm good at gardening, growing everything from seed/bulb. I enjoy planning the color scheme, timimg, heights, sun/shade requirements, companion planting, growing flowers for pollinators, then keeping them all alive . Taking time capture photographs, watching it all develop from a nice seating area, and eating fresh fruit and veg are the best parts. I have a massive area to work with this year, yipee.

Remembering things like patterns. It can be things like: foot traffic, most efficient routes, etc. My special interest is currently in knives tho.

Electrical power system engineering

Not a common field but it's what I do and I do it well, and - it pays the bills.

Besides, somebody has to keep the lights on...

I'm good at understanding power systems too, I can look at a powerline and know what voltage is by site and what kidn of equipment it's using and what it's for. Unfortunately I can't make good money with this ability like the previous poster because I have never completed a formal education or credited program in it to be able to earn a living in it because struggle in academics.

I'm also good at creating computer graphics and animations on a computer and fortunately do have a degree in that. I however have not been able to find a job in it yet and it's tricky to earn a living on this at a freelance basis. Also, a good paying job in this field unfortunately requires good communication and people skills which I'm not terribly great at.

I am good at electrical system as well. I can look at a wire and imagine how the electrons flow through it. Much like glitter mix with water and flowing through glass pipes.

I dunno, I guess knowing things that most other people don't care about. I wish I gained some skills in all the time I've spent dicking off. I can't look at myself objectively tho, I think as opposed to most people I tend to downplay myself at pretty much everything.

I like to visualize cities I live in like a grid: learning how streets flow, where they change designation, quickly locating and visualizing where specific destinations are from an address, demographics of the cities, histories, bus and subway routes, and so on.

I don't know as much about large scale power grids but I'm crazy good at technological inference. Thinking about byte states, system clocks, serialization, storage tabling, interface bottlenecks, chip architectures and operating systems is just habitual for me.

Spelling.

Art, specifically oil painting, my work is considered fine art. Details, being able to pick up on the little things that others miss, extrapolating from them and using them in interesting and unique ways to problem solve or just create.

Quickly finding information on the internet.

I am best probably at spelling, grammar, Digital art programs like GIMP, Android phones, Taxonomy, Geography, International Politics, Among many others!

I'm good at troubleshooting equipment failures and Photo/Print Processing.

Going on quests and smiting foes.
