What is the one thing that you are very good at? A professional skill or talent that you can confidently say you are very good at? How has this benefit you in your life? Have you gotten an award for it?
I think I am pretty good at drawing and I have gotten a few awards in school for it and have sold a piece once.

I was a hairdresser for 47 years & i was a good one if i do say so myself. I made a living for my 2 sons & i by myself. I never won any awards because i never entered any competitions. I was too busy making a living.Good for u, i hope u continue to have sucess w/your drawings.

I think I'm very good at being resourceful and problem solving. I kind of got an award for it too.. The nurse on duty gave me an atta buck (which was our companies way of rewarding good work. each buck could be saved up to buy something at the "company store") On it she wrote that I used very good problem solving skills to resolve an ongoing issue with patient documentation.
I never spent that one...

as we learn new things, we develop new hobbies and talents. back in school i was pretty good in math. i joined several competitions and received awards for that. at work, i learned to be equally as good in managing people, resources and providing results in our projects. there were no awards but i was given a lot of opportunities for the job well done... opportunities that would not have been made possible if i wasn't doing a great job. those included international travels, promoted 9 times, and was made youngest board of trustee in our spin-off organization.
but my passion is into writing. i read a lot as well. that's why i like mylot. i can do both in here. and now with running my own business, writing has just become an occasional hobby but one i like to do whenever i have a free time. my first published poem was the one i wrote for my nephew as a declamation piece. he won and the poem got great reviews that it was even made as a video project locally in another university. i also wrote a true-to-life short story once and was chosen as one of the 10 winners.
i think when we are passionate enough in whatever we do, we can excel and be very good at it.
great job with the drawing! art is something i still have yet to learn properly and it's always nice to meet people who are talented in this field.

I am a good manager and team leader. It's a job Idon't like doing but I just bring to it the golden rule. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."
I have been awarded for this talent by good pay and promotions. Now I'm glad I don't have to do it anymore.

Nice to know you are an artist. Keep it up!
I'm very good at writing poetry or at least I think I am. I feel that I can write a decent poem on any subject if challenged. I've delighted many a friend by writing a poem or a card about them. Also I'm pretty good at untieing any knot. LOL
