Nope. I'm not good at any of those things. I don't really have any skills.

I have my abilities that I use in my research areas. Honing them with experience is important. Whether or not I become famous for them is for time to decide. I really do not care either way. What I do care about is obtaining knowledge, which is sometimes hidden in the fine details that so many do not see.

I am ok if my gift of knowledge gets lost to time after I pass on. Sometimes things are better left unknown by the masses. Their loss, not mine.

so it is better that the USA tested depleted biowarfare components by aerosol dispersal over populated cities and then followed hospital admission records to see effects .
Or shall we consider the syphillus experiments on US citizens . Am sorry but looking the otherway
can be hard to digest . And we have PETA to thank for? As recently as 1975 US Gov was still experimenting on its own soldiers . And that is based on first hand experience. Troops in Iraq
were exposed to things that destroyed their lifes. And New Veterans support program had attempted to start up several times . But has been repeatedly squashed . Why would the us gov want a program called veteran victims of Modern Warfare .Geared towards exposure of Soldiers to these aweful things . Yes but indeed we have PETA thank heaven. Apologies for the sarcasm , but this hush hush stuff still strikes close to home. :(

I’m not good at much of anything, and I don’t even have any interests that can be put to any use besides entertaining myself. I’m terrible at anything involving numbers and/or formulae, math and math-heavy sciences were my weakest areas in school (and not for lack of trying).

I'm a decent cook, an aspiring thief, would probably make a good wife, and an excellent lover.

I have a lot of big ideas but I struggle to focus on anything for long enough to make them reality.

It gets tedious when the same people complain about their shortcomings at every opportunity.

I'm really good at teaching myself new skills :)

Taught myself to code, draw, play instruments, foreign languages, crochet...

I'm not particularly amazing at any of these, mind you :P But if I have an interest in something I can pursue it to a reasonable level.

I'm OK at physics. I'm alright with computers.

But not necessarily good enough beyond high school to early college level. I hadn't been trained nor taught well around it.
It's an interest subject, but not my focus.


I have no plans of becoming one of the 'greats'.
I have no plans on making anything big out of anything.

I have more interest in learning is on how to be more orderly, self-sufficient, reliable and being better at management -- be it self care or household tasks or beyond that.
What I have in plan, instead, is taking care of my own yet to be elderly mom until the rest of her days. Never suggest me otherwise -- this is my choice.

But never had the chance, idea or money to make it big?


No, I'm not very math or tech-minded, and I'm honestly not that interested in these topics. :) I know enough to get by. I'm proficient with most forms of technology, but I just don't care to take it beyond that
