What is one skill that you really wished you possessed?

[bluebreezes]

Is unaided human flight a realistic, fulfillable 'skill', or an unrealizable fantasy?

It was a fun answer to the question. I didn't feel the need to get too philosophical about it.

Rrrrrright. layful:

 

[Ralphy1]

Bend notes on my harmonica so that I could play the blues...

I wished that I would have learned to fly as a pilot in the military and taken off and landed on a flat top (carrier). This is a real skill and not for the feint of heart. When I joined the Marines, I signed up for pilot school, but was told that I was too tall and that I would not be a good fit in an F-4. Although the F-4 had a world of issues, I would still have liked to have flown one.

I'm way too old now but always wanted to fly a plane. ( but not in the military, oldman BTW thanks for your service. )

Can I pick 2?

1. To be fluent in French. I'm conversant, and I can read French, but can't understand when someone is speaking rapidly or using a lot of slang.

2. To be able to tap dance really well. I took lessons once as an adult, but not long enough.

 

[Temperance]

To be the prima ballerina in one of the top Classical Ballet Companies.

Wish I had the ability to fade out and disappear, moving quietly away from unpleasant encounters (without having to apologize 100 times).

A high school friend taught me this skill, was used successfully several times to leave his [Catholic church] in stealth mode, to get outside to have a cigarette.

 

[NancyNGA]

The skill to hack the system so I could edit posts beyond 2 days. [Only to replace images that were linked, instead of attached, and disappeared. Nothing sinister.]

 

[Bobw235]

I wish I could play the guitar. I don't play any instruments, having given up the piano at a very early age.

I wrote a short story or two that I used when I was teaching but the skill seems to have deserted me.

 

[asp3]

I'd love to be able to have a conversation with almost anyone and have them be totally interested in the conversation. I've definitely met people like that who are so charismatic and engaging that they can really connect with almost anyone.

 

[Pepper]

Wish I were a Really Good dancer.

There are professional singers in my family - unfortunately, I'm not one of them.
Would love to be a singer or pianist.

The ability to know if someone is a true friend or someone who just is there to take advantage of me.
