What’s a secret skill or ability you have or wish you had?

View all responses

• Sing
• Paint, draw or sculpt something recognizable.
• Read minds, or have its less creepy cousin, a perfectly accurate skill of deduction and discernment.
• Teleport. In my school fellowship, we sometimes used to refer to this as Philippian transportation. For context, read the story of Philip in Acts 8: 26-40. I wish I could do this at will. I love traveling, I wish I didn’t have to pay for plane tickets though.
• Type without looking at my keyboard at all.
• Give silent treatment when appropriate.
• Maintain excitement about DIY stuff and not get bored after two days.
• Remember quotes from the movies and books that I actually love.
• Come up with perfect research hypotheses without thinking too hard.
• Learn languages easily. I have been exposed to and had opportunities to learn so many languages fluently – Hausa, Yoruba, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Greek. But who is here still struggling with her own native language?

As for the secret skills and abilities I do have, let’s go on keeping those secret, okay?

Bye,

Chioma.
