I was watching an anime the other day, and one of the characters said something interesting: I don't have any talents besides studying.

At first, I overlooked the comment (I guess cause I was pressed for time...), but for some reason, it got stuck to the back to my head.

I personally think that everyone has at least one talent; one thing they are especially good at and better than most other average people are.

Looking in the Gallery forum, I can see that a few have a talent for drawing, as some of the drawings are significantly better than some others (no offence). Same thing applies at the Fan Fic forum.

So, my question is: What is your talent? What is that one little thing that you can do that everyone whishes they could do as well as you? Or, are you lucky and have multiple talents. Come on, share; don't be shy.

As for me, honestly, I have no talents

. Now, before you say that I'm contradicting myself, or feel pity for me, let me explain:

Like the girl in the anime said, I have no talents besides studying. Yes, I'm one of those boring people. I cannot say that I am, for example, talented at gaming, drawing, doing math, dancing, cooking (

), playing sports, ect., ect. I am not even slightly talented at these things! I am simply not "naturally good" at anything.

This is what I mean by having no talent: I am not naturally good at anything.

However, I can do just about anything so so. Like say, if I pick up a Calculus book (even though I struggle at math), and study for an hour or so, I will do fine in the class. If I pick up a physics book and study it a bit, I will do well in the class. If I play a beat 'em up game for a few hours, I will get it and be pretty good at it. If I study some ingredients, I will make a good meal. These "effects" usually last me quite a bit.

This may make no sense. I know that if everyone studied, everyone would do better. However, I don't require vast amounts of study time. 1 or 2 hours usually suffice. After that, I'm set to go. Basically, if you throw anything at me, just gimme a quick bit and I will do it just fine.

This is my talent. To be able to study things and do many things quite efficiently. This is why people think I'm "smart," but I'm not smart like those people that just naturally understand things. I pick them up fast, but I need some time.

That's me! I am multi-so-so talented!

Doesn't it suck? Bah. What about you guys?
