Do you have pure talent at something that you don't practice?

[OGquickdraw]

You're what's wrong with America, Quickdraw. You coast through life, you do as little as possible, and you leech off of decent, hardworking people like me. If you lived in any other country in the world, you and your smug attitude and memorizing would have starved to death long ago. You're a fraud, a total fraud.

You sound very bitter with life. You're the type of person who equates being miserable to have worked "hard". You need to change, as hard as that might seem. You're at dangerous point in your life, where you're really boardering on it being too late. Your life is yours and yours alone, if you are at a miserable point, then you have to be the one to adapt.

Your cannot continue to play this sad victim card, it won't do. That being said if this was simply an homage to Falling Down, bravo.

You're kidding! You work at a nuclear reactor power plant!? So do I. You're the exact kind of imbecile I'm talking about!

So, people smarter than you who don't hinder their own performance by getting stressed out about everything? yeah, I've met plenty of people like you. I mixed feelings about you guys. on the one hand, I feel bad that it's so hard for you. on the other hand, your negativity is insufferable and I know that if you worried less, you'd perform better. you're the only person who can help you with that.

 

[scorpipede]

Im a natural with plants and dogs. Nothing I ever learned just something I do. Before I jacked up my voice smoking and drinking for years I could mimic almost any noise I heard. I can remember the words to almost any song I have heard.

I have similar talents. Dogs and cats that people warn me about, "oh he hates everybody", want nothing more than me to pet them and to sit on my lap. I still have that vocal talent. I always seem to know a person's mood too, no matter if they're trying to hide it or not. I pick up on things that a lot of other people don't seem to notice.

[WalkenWouldOwn]

I was very good at football and baseball, but just got into a mindset in junior year of high school where I didn't care about sports anymore and didn't want to do anything except like chat with girls online and go to punk shows with friends. Was going to be a varsity starter on both teams (fullback and first base) and the coaches were bugging me about hitting the weight room and putting in some work to prepare , so I responded by quitting both teams. I don't think that I could have played in college or anything like that necessarily but I was naturally fast and strong, and with a little extra effort I could have been good but I just had other priorities.


I could not possibly have less artistic sand musical talent. I am fucking terrible at most things creative .

You're freaking losing it, man. Get a hold of yourself.

 

[WalkenWouldOwn]

I was always a very good test taker too. I have a great memory for everything except numbers, got good grades in HS and college while VERY rarely ever studying.

Some college courses I never even bought the book or went to most classes but still did well. . . Again though if I just put some effort could have been better lol. I can also bullshit a term paper or report with the best of them .

 

[Graves The Elder]

yea, animals love me. don't know if it's a talent, but right ppl say wow never saw him/her take to someone like that before.
dogs especially.
kindred spirit I guess.

I don't think you know how things work where I am. the only way to get promotions you don't deserve is to reenlist or be a decent looking female. I haven't done either of those. The only way to get other people to do your job without being labeled a shitbag is to be a female. I'm also not a fat slob with a bad diet or a coaster who passes my work off.

I'm not sure why you equate not liking school with being lazy. I didn't finish college. do you know who else didn't? these other lazy named Steve Jobs, Richard Branson, Michael dell, and a zillion other entrepreneurs. there are tons of articles and studies debunking the idea that motivation in school always correlates to professional motivation.

You're bitter as fuck, and that only sucks for you. I'm sorry if where you work is really that bad, but the military is still behind the PC curve enough that we can tell people when they're shitty in my field. of course, we can not fire them so they end up getting hooked up with a good/easy job. that's bullshit, but everyone knows they're just a recipient of "hookups for fuck ups." if everyone else in your work place likes your lazy, fat guy, he likely isn't that bad. you should rethink your attitude.

Drawing/Painting & Drums. I wanna say cooking as well but it's a skill that constitutes trial & error. Not a talent.

 

[Pugilistic]

I’m good with women. Considering how short and average looking I am, not to mention I’m poor and have a small pecker, I have gotten way too much success with attractive women. I don’t practice it much because I don’t like using condoms and if I went wild I would have Genghis Khan levels of baby mamas.

Literally none. I lack any level of natural talent and have persevered painstakingly through years of hard work and dedication. Absolutely nothing has come easy and while others have seemingly enjoyed effortless success in many different areas I struggle to merely meet the average level of competency in even the most mundane tasks. I have a Masters degree that buried me in school debt after spending 8 years unsuccessfully trying to juggle school and work.

I'm 41 now and live in a modest one bed rental in the suburbs above a bowling alley. I work roughly 60hrs a week (not including a grueling daily commute) in a shared 1x1 cubicle bullpen for a boss that makes Bill Lundberg seem fun. The work is repetitive and soul crushing and I plug away and get passed up for promotion after promotion by buffoons who seem to take longer lunches, take month long vacations to exotic destinations, attend glamorous weddings and have big houses with gorgeous families. I've had to work hard everyday of my life and all I have to show for it is a briefcase and a $8 hair cut at Master Cuts.

This whole world is insane, people who don't work nearly as hard coast through life leaching off my back breaking labor and I begrudgingly sit in traffic in my '98 saturn with no air conditioning listening to my fucking AM radio... I JUST CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!

Jesus christ dude. I hope you figure out how to create more positivity for yourself.

The world is fucked up and unfair man, but that's just the way it is. I wish it were different, but it isn't and seemingly never will be. In the face of this, show defiance and refuse to let it break you, brother. Being a hard worker by nature is indeed a talent you seem to need no practice for. Be proud of that, as it is without question something to be very proud of. Many a shirk walk among us, for whom working hard is like hard work squared.

There are more ways to judge your worth than by what your bank account reads or you title implies. Work hard, be a good person, look after those who would need looking after, and hold your head high. The universe judges you by the impact your life has left upon it, not by where you end up in man's foolish and short-sighted pecking order.

Good luck to you.

I eat, sleep and breathe with the best of em. Not a single day of training. True story.

Elite level human right there.

He's just a grimey dude. Just insecure that talented people like us are getting through life so easily and it has been so difficult for him. He's a nut, a crazy nut.

Now excuse me, while I go eat lobsters for dinner.

 

[Thunderflash500]

That's interesting, I don't think I could sing a single full song. My brain doesn't work that way.

 

[AGGAMEMNON66]

Drawing.

Haven't practiced in like twenty years but if you gave me a pencil and paper I could still draw a mean Goku.

Same here.


I'm also a musician (guitarist). When I was younger I was athletically gifted -could dunk, run faster than pretty much anyone I went up against- but I wasn't particularly good at any sport outside of football.

 

[Prime Yossarian]

Both times I've tried to shoot a coin at 100m with a rifle I've hit it first shot. Not sure if that's good or lucky or both.

 

[Terry Toughnut]

I can't really think of anything I'm particularly great at. I can play the guitar and drums, and I never had someone teach me how to play the drums.

I'm told I'm very quick-witted, but I never really practiced telling jokes, or trying to be funny. I just enjoyed making people smile, and rolled with it.

I am good at eating pussy, too, I hear.

I think you might be me, just a bit better
