Poll: talent you wish you had?

I always wish I could play a cool instrument. Like I could just pick up my violin from high school again and be able to play it well (I never was really able to play it well in the first place, and I'm sure I've forgotten absolutely everything).
I also wish I could speak a bunch of different languages. Once again, my high school and college Spanish is forgotten. But I would love to be able to speak Spanish, French, Chinese, etc.

Re: Poll: talent you wish you had?
I wish I had the talent of being able to get my LO to sleep.
No, really, nobody has that talent, so I guess I will say I wish I had the talent of being able to pick up a conversation with anyone anywhere. You know how some people seem so at ease in social situations? I am always worried about saying the wrong thing or just plain self-conscious. The funny thing is that the people who know me say they can't tell at all, but I feel like it's glaringly obvious.
Haha, this is me, actually. My H finds it annoying, because I always make "friends" with people in restaurants, on public transportation, at the store, etc. He's always like, Why do you have to talk to everyone???
I wish I was a natural cook. I suck. Truly. I follow a recipe exactly as it's written and fail 95% of the time. Things are overcooked, undercooked, just plain burnt or just taste off. I always tell people (kind of joking, kind of not) that I must embarrass my mother, who was a home ec. teacher for 30 years!
I would love to be known as the one who always makes some kind of rad dish that people think about long after it has been eaten!
Oh yes, this! I wish for lots of things, but this is my heart's longing.
I was in gymnastics as a kid and loved it, but I'm tall too. At some point, the teacher took my mom aside and told her we should stop coming to class, because I was going to be too tall to be a gymnast, so basically why bother trying.
I wish I had a specific talent!
I have above average in most skills, but there is no skill I exceed in! I feel that everyone I know can do one special thing that nobody (except professionals) does better, but I know a bunch of people that can do some of the things I do good. I am a fairly good singer, I draw good, I can make food that is delish' but not "wow", I can sew ok, I have social antennas - but I wish I had one thing that standed out and said "That is Cathrine!"
