Skills You Wish You Had

What is a skill or some skills you don't have the time or patience to begin learning, but wish you did long ago? I'll start with mine.

I've always thought drawing and sketching was really interesting and awesome to see. I just find the art to be really cool, but I never took the time to actually start learning and at the place my life is now, I currently don't have the time or patience. Anytime I begin drawing something, I always get fustrated with it.

I also wish I had good handwriting, but mine is just god awful. I think that would be easier to fix, though.

What are yours?

 

Martial Arts. Wish I could be the second coming of Bruce Lee.

Playing the violin. Wish I could be the second coming of Paganini.

An elite bicycle racer. Wish I could be the second coming of Greg Lemond.

 

Playing piano. I already wanted it as a child and was given the opportunity by my parents. But I have realized I do more appreciate and desire the result of being able to play well, than the way finally getting there by regularly practising for it. I am not passionate enough about this skill to acquire it.

 

Agreed, man. I keep meaning to continue learning Spanish, but I never get around to doing it... :\

 

I just started getting back into playing the guitar again after dropping PMO and alcohol. Started playing over 20 years ago but lost interest along the way. Can't imagine how good I could be now had I stuck with it.

 

Fang deen. Wo hei mai. Fao def nihang wang? Bok choi!

 

Abstaining from 'unnatural' dopamine etc stimulation such as PMO, drugs & alcohol, even facebook scrolling, should help resent things and bring you to a point of appreciating things more. Keep going.

 

I wish i had the skill to stop watching porn in 1 try.

 

Maybe get your shit together then.

 

Bloody hell!

@LEPAGE I think what Vandermeer is his own way is trying to say, is that he politely suggests you look into more techniques and tools to support your recovery, in order to find something that works for you- whilst also keeping in mind that some hard work and courage will be required of you (which you have inside).
