Heard it on Trojka today while driving through Lodz. Apparently, Poles find it much more difficult to talk about their talents than their drawbacks.

Okey. I think I'm really good at listening and making coffee.

I definitely suck at DIY.

And that is a really good question.

I'm good at understanding people, at planning and not following the plan, at teaching, cleaning. And suck at baking, saving money and effective resting.

Hmm, what a coincidence :)
My question comes from the division into predyspozycje, uzdolnienia and talenty (predispositions, abilities and talents).
It's a hard one, I know.

I'm good at asking questions that I cannot answer myself.
I suck at answers. I'm extremely ambiguous, that's my talent.

Planning, organizing and stretching myself too thin… some say I’m good at playing music…

I’m horrible at displaying emotions… amongst millions of other things… but that’s the one I’ve been working on for years and I feel like I’ve gotten absolutely nowhere.

That's actually a very good thing - sucking at answers. It's good to suck at answers and know it, but at the same time asking all the right questions even if you don't know how to answer them. Much better than accepting answers handed to you by those who think that they got all the answers. - how's that for ambiguous hahaha....

Buddhist and Taoist monks would torment their pupils by asking them questions, when eventually they would comeback with answers, they would destroy and make a mockery of their answers and send them right back to the drawing board.

"The worst question is one that you don't ask"
- by somebody smart... hehe

So do you really think that most Poles would have a problem to state 5 positive things about themselves? :D

I’m not sure if it’s a Polish thing… I think it’s got more to do with being humble.

I'm really good at learning languages, excellent at reading (and I read real fast, with good retention), I enjoy cooking and am quite a good cook, I know a lot about the things I'm interested in. I can draw.

I suck at making important choices and I tend to procrastinate :)

I'm unbeatable at scrabble (Tatiana) and pool (billiards).
I would hurt any of these "no rules" fighters very, very badly. :)))
I can shoot a dime or 2 groszy from a long, long ways away.

Love. :)

You're wrong about at least one thing on your list. I'm unbeatable at Scrabble! ;)Sylwia Łubkowska edytował(a) ten post dnia 10.10.08 o godzinie 21:21

I expected this from either you or T., and honestly it would be like a man playing against kids. I'm sorry. Deal with it.

Temat: What are you good at?

I am really good at organising events: professional ones like conferences, but also bachelor & children parties, anniversaries, weddings. I was always told, I am a very good teacher, patient one, communicative and creative, with good teaching skills. I've also brought myself to the mastery level in so called creative cooking (fusion kitchen).

I suck badly at suppressing my feelings, muting my anger and waiting patiently. I rarely get mad, but when I do, it's definitely better to stay away from me - I resemble a walking powder keg. I suck at hitting the sack at some decent hour, permanent sleepgriefing is my worst enemy. I suck at making good friends, cause I am too critical, too picky about minor things, too honest (yes, it shoos ppl away..).
