If you could excel at one thing or have a skill in one area, what would it be?

- Start date
It's funny how things change as you get older.
As a younger man I would have said athleticism or sexual prowess.
Today I realize that doesn't mean sh_t.

Personally, I'd like to be able to read people's minds. Can you imagine the killing you'd make in the market? lol.....
Realistically, I'd like to be physically stronger, just can't go for as long and as hard as I used to.....sorry, have to go, it's nap time lol....

I know a second language(can't type worth**it).I love to cook when I have the time(soups are my speaialty) I can fix or make almost anything(except make money at it).Alot of people say I'm funny(I'm not trying,it stuff just happens to me). So,I wish I could just have all women I could handle!
I've always wished to be a genius and a chef. Turns out I'm only over-educated and can't even cook to my own standards.
Cooking is easy. You just need to know what goes well together and how to use spices.
I know food. I just lack the skills (and the patience to develop them maybe?) to cook up par to my standards of good food. Basically, I'm a food snob who refuses to eat my own food.
I am impressed by the wide range of responses. I basically chose what I perceive as my biggest weakness. I sometimes wish I had been good at some things I am bad at, but then I think about whether I would trade my current skills for new ones. I always conclude that I would stick with what I have. But if I can add one without giving anything up, I would take that deal. I did not choose good at sports, because I am a little old for that, but if I was 18, I might choose it.
You should offer a date where we could cook a meal together, then have dessert!!!! I love to cook, and I love dessert.
I have always admired people with strong artistic skills (drawing, sketching, painting, sculpting). One of my best friends growing up in elementary and junior high had superb artistic talent, with the ability to create some truly amazing sculptures, including a character from the fantasy genre (Dungeons & Dragons) that was amazing in its detail and its lifelike quality. The best I could come up in my art class was a small cup! (slightly misshapen at that) 
My older sister is also a gifted painter/drawer as well, something which I have no talent for whatsoever (I have an aptitude for music and mathematics instead). So I definitely wish I could excel in art.

Is it cheating to say psychic? Like having one wish so you wish for more wishes? I wanted to be a writer when younger but the aspiration only introduced me to the puny limitations of my intellect and imagination. Moreover, I found it to be a joyless grind. I would say another instrument, perhaps piano, because playing music gives so much back to you. Or maybe singing. Or maybe painting... Wait, I've got it. The ability to make up my mind.
