Question of the Day: Day 49
Do you have a talent or quality that makes you feel good about yourself? What is it?
Do you use it as often as you'd like to? Why or why not?

We are looking for answers to some hard questions as we dig deep inside and explore our own core values and how that guides not just our own lives but the very world that we live in. These questions will be asked to a group of high school students but we would also like to hear from the world at large. While we hope to keep this forum wide open we do reserve the right to delete responses that we find to be offensive or combative in nature. Thank you for participating with us.

Yes, I would say generosity.
Quite frankly, it isn't used as often as I wish either due to lack of resources or, um...selfishness. Yin and Yang, right? I do feel really good when I do something for others or donate cash, clothes, etc. I don't know why I do it less than I would like, except as I stated above, plain selfishness. Not a very good trait, I suppose. Hmmm...
I would say my creatlivity and artistic skills and I always try to use them regularly even though I haven't been in the past.
Reading and writing used to be great passions of mine and, at one time, I even thought I was fairly good at both of those skills. I wouldn't call it a talent but it was something that I enjoyed immensely and I wish that I had more time for it.
I don't read OR write as much as I would like to and I guess the main thing that stops me is that I have not made it a high enough priority and I have not dedicated some time and energy towards either one so I have nobody to blame but myself for not doing them.
My musicality. I try to use it as much as possible; I play in as many bands/groups/orchestras as I can. So I think I do use that one as often as I could, even if there just aren't enough hoursin a day to use it as much as Id like.
After that would probably come teaching people things. I don't do this as much as I would like, mainly because I don't have the oppertunities. I am trying to create some though. The pleasure that you get from seeing someone gain knowledge from you is immense.
I have a great passion for love and life. It oozes out of every pore of my body. Sometimes too much! I like people to be comfortable and smiling. i do what i can to make that happen. In small ways and big ones.
I do write some excellent poetry. I hope one day to make them into songs/music. That would really blend all my talents. An artist/musician/writer. I hope someday to inspire others to have the courage to do that for themselves.
Yes I do and it is to help people in any problem they are in
