What are things you are naturally good at?

As I said in a similar thread, I'm not good at the stuff that I like doing, so I have to work my ass off just to get pretty good.
 
I'm naturally good at all basic academic subjects, and naturally excellent at writing. I'm naturally good at grappling and, while I've had to work more to get good at striking, I'm a natural in the game-planning and reflex departments.
 
Circus. I've worked as a circus performer for supplemental income (juggler, clown, unicycle, acrobat, german wheel and others) and have been able to expand my skill set with relative ease. Taught my mother how to juggle when the family was together for the Holiday--I believe I can teach anyone to juggle in about 35 minutes or less. You may not be able to juggle perfectly 100% of the time with one lesson, but I can provide you with the understanding and body mechanics necessary to perfect it through individual practice.

That probably makes it feel more rewarding when you succeed, I've felt that with some things that were challenging at first.
 
Also, I have to ask...how does being able to read and write make you a beta male? Or is that being said in a kind of tongue-in-cheek joking fashion that I didn't understand?
 
I'd sasy I'm pretty good at teaching and explaining things. Classmates almost always to come ask me questions and for help before they ask the teacher. I'm pretty good at putting the lessons and concepts into my own words and a way trhats easier to understand than a lecture or textbook.
 
really good at drawing and painting, in other words i have no real world skills
 
Organic Chemistry

Polyurethane Formulation

Writing

Drinking

And I've always been good at understanding really difficult, esoteric, inaccessible texts; philosophy and the like e.g. texts like Being and Time, Being and Nothingness, and Phenomenology of Spirit came easy to me.

And Snowboarding
 
Strong writer and cook, great reading comprehension so I'm good at tests with little or no studying. I'm a quiet guy so I'm very observant and can predict what people will do after meeting them, which more talkative people consider some a kind of super intelligence haha.

Good at any sports the rewards speed and ultra aggression. I've progressed from soccer where I set HS red card records to rugby and on to ammy MMA so I could capitalize that skill set. Funny because outside of competition I'm the nicest guy and wouldn't raise a hand sans standing for someone.
 
Im not a natural at anything. As a kid I sucked at everything, but ive become confident that I can be an expert at almost anything. I go into things halfway and then find myself over my head, but I perrsevere and become proficient at everything ive tried- except women LOL
 
I can respond first on every sherdog thread without trying.
