What one thing do you do better than anyone you know?

We all have our talents; some may be more obvious than others, such as cooking or repairing things, whilst some may be a bit stranger such as being able to stay awake longer than anyone else. No matter how talent-less you may feel we all have something which we excel at and maybe just don’t realise it.
For me my talent is a random one but I have a memory for movie facts and figures. Not something which would be of use to most but makes me very popular when ever there is a question on movies which needs to be answered.
So what is the one thing can you do better than anyone you know?

My mom was the same as you, she knew so much about so many movies, and the odd thing is she never actually sat and watched any movies!! She'd put them on, but would do 20 things at once that she couldn't have possibly have been paying any attention to the TV.
I also have a knack for remembering things, but it's usually insignificant things about other people. I'll see people in the community or at school.. I'll get to know them and little things about them. Maybe I'll overhear their name being said and I'll remember that, and I'll know who their kids are, and I might even know where they went on vacation last year... but the odd thing is I know all this without ever having a conversation with the person. Usually they're clueless as to who I am, but I already know so much about them. So when I do have a conversation with them, I tend to act dumb, and pretend like my memory is as bad as everyone else's. I don't want them to think like I'm so interested in them that I've purposely remembered this stuff, you know.

I also like watching movies and I have a talent of remembering some words they say.
Like "Would you dance with a rose in a pale evening?" - from Joker of Batman.

I have two diametrically opposite things I am good at...
I am a very good science teacher - my classes always do well in exams, and I make things fun. Students often leave my classes saying that they never "got" science before but now they do.
I am a good tarot reader - I can interpret cards well and design my own spreads, I seem to be very intuative at this.
Told you they were VERY different!

Hello,
I don't really do anything better than someone I know. I can just play the guitar, and play a little bit of tennis, but when I come to think of it, many of my friends can do all those things better then I can. Make sure you have a good day, God bless and Happy Lotting!!

One thing which I always proud of it, was my typing skill among my friends.. I am the fastest typist around them, therefore I made the best argue person in MSN or YM if there is any.
Besides, each time an important document need to be type, I will be sure called to do this, since fast and efficient together with accuracy are required.

Well, I'm not THE best, but out of all my friends I'm the best at transcribing music. I can listen to a melody, even with multiple parts, and get most of it down on paper without having to listen to it over and over. It's a great hobby of mine and it helps people. Lots of people have use for sheet music.
On a more random note, I also know more about bats than anyone I know. Not much of a talent though. Just a random childhood obsession.

It's a great question!! I suppose I understand better and learn faster than others. I did learn faster than others when I was a child, but less clever. After these years' study, I learn how to study. And also as a practice, study makes me think faster, it is like doing excersices, or working out one's body, the more we use our brain, smarter we become. :) Everyone could do this.

Susan Boyle now is a hero all over the world,I think she know her talent clearly for a long time.Actually one thing that is she is good at singing in the past when she hasn't be famous of her singing,at that time,she only wasn't known by each other.It is said that this show is on suspicion of hyping.But to be frank,she sings really well
I don't know what's my talent,actually I also want to know.Maybe my talent is I have no talent or I will not know my talent forever. Currently I found most of us do some things without purpose,that is also to say they don't know what are they doing for?Me too.I am often trapped into automatism by myself

I do wish I had a special talent. But I have none. I always think how wonderful it would have been if I could have drawn like Michael Angelo or written like Charlotte Bronte, made a great scientific discovery or been a ballerina or better still been someone like Mother Threasa. Unfortunately, I'm none of these things but I do have a good memory for inconsequential things which is of no value to anyone. I try to help people in whatever way I can when they need help but apart from that, I really don't know the reason for my being.

I used to stay cool even in adverse situations.And strongly believe that God has put something precious on the other side of this sea of troubles.Living life in its own way and tune it up to my thoughts slowly and steadily is my policy.I have my goals, but never make mess trying to achieve it, i am sure i will achieve it once time falls in my way.
