Natural Talent

[God's_gift]

Name one natural talent you wish you had


Music! I know a little bit of guitar but I wish I have the talent on piano.<O:p</O:p

I wish I could draw

I can sing already, so I'm told but I really wish I could play guitar. I inherited my husband's guitar when he died, right now it collects dust in my closet. My son who is 3 and a half and doesn't really remember daddy, brought it to me the other day, all I could manage was Skip to my Lou on ONE string lol.

Something to practice I guess

I wish I could touch my tongue to my nose.

I wish I could draw and paint as well. I'm probably the only person here who actually received an "F" in art.

 

[Jesusfreak97]

Oh no you're not!

I wish I could play the French Horn ... it's one instrument I just can't seem to play

I can't sing, play guitar, piano, violin, or harmonica. And I desperately want to. I have a keyboard that I need to dust off and the Dummies book for it, and I'm going to give it another go this summer. My church does offer performing arts classes in the summer and beginner's keyboard is one of the things listed. But you have to pay, and I'm a broke college student.

I also want to be able to draw and paint. I want to be able to finish the stories I've started writing. I want to be able to wink and whistle.

Take out your dentures

I would love to make pretty things....

I'd love to paint... big, bold, splashy oil paintings... however, it's a bit too spendy a hobby for our circumstances.

Oh no you're not!

You too, huh? Greetings from another artistically challenged person

Two things, I guess:

1) I wish I could draw.

2) I wish I could exercise the patience to use such drawing skill I may already have.

PS: A third comment would be, it's hard sometimes to figure the difference between 1) and 2).

 

[stovebolts]

I have a natural talent for sticking my foot in my mouth... I wish I had the talent to stop doing that :D

Eloquence with words. I often find myself at a loss of words when I wish I had something inspiring or encouraging to say.

Take out your dentures

I still have all my teeth...so far!

I wish it didn't take me so long to heal....

To you all who wish to be better at playing/drawing, do it! Talent makes you okay in the beginning but practice makes you a master in the end. I don't really believe much in "talent" myself.

I second this. The biggest secret to drawing well is practice. Lots and lots of practice. To paraphrase something Lauren Faust (FiM's producer for the first season and a half) has said in her FAQs, "think of it as you have to get thousands of mediocre drawings out of your system before you get to the good ones."

"In most domains, talent is overrated compared to determination—partly because it makes a better story, partly because it gives onlookers an excuse for being lazy, and partly because after a while determination starts to look like talent."
~Paul Graham

You'll find that just about any artist's early art was chicken scratch, especially compared to what they can do now.

Now I'm feeling guilty for not touching my sketch pad in about a month!:D

I wish I could sing. Now, I do sing all day long in my work van, but I'm afraid the other drivers don't appreciate my angelic voice.
