If you could have any talent you wished; what would it be?

Asked by Pandora (32436points) November 7th, 2013

Question say’s it all. I was just looking art.com and found myself lost in Claude Monet paintings. I couldn’t help but wish that I had his talent. I have always loved his work. It I was super rich I would have all his paintings all over my home.
So it had me wondering if any of my fellow flutherites would wish for a talent that they do not currently have.

I can draw some, paint some, sculpt some, write well, but I can’t SING worth a damn. I;d love to be able to sing really well!

Such a hard choice! I’d love to be able to play the piano, but I’d also love to dance well and be a better painter.

What a good question and so many things I’d like to be talented at. Just a few that spring to mind right away would be the abilities to create art, be fluent in several languages, and be technically savvy enough to write and create computer programs and be accomplished in networking. Oh, and I’d love to be able to play the saxophone, my favorite instrument.

Sing. I love to sing but I’m very, very, VERY bad at it.

I’d like to be able to_really_ play the piano. Then again, that would be hours of learning and lots of small successes I’d be denying myself.

Another vote for piano. I’d like to learn someday.

I’ve always wanted to play the guitar but I lack the discipline and coordination to learn it.

Creative talent? I’d say any, if talking about creating something out of nothing. For example, I can sing pretty well, but I am reproducing someone else’s song. If you put on object in front of me and told me to draw it, I could represent that object decently. I can write an explanation of why someone’s ear still hurts a few days after airline travel, but I can’t create a story or a poem. I lack the imagination, for lack of a better word, that drives the creative process.

The ability to write easily and well. I have a great imagination. I just have a very hard time putting it on paper. It gets stuck somewhere between my brain and my hands.

I wish I could sing.

But there are many other talents I want to have. Dance or write or draw or being intelligent or any talent, ‘cause I just want to have one :D

To act or write plays.

I’d like the talent to entertain, or charm people. I know that doesn’t sound like a traditional talent, but it is. For some reason Carol Burnett has been on my mind lately, and that’s the kind of talent I mean. She wasn’t the prettiest, she wasn’t the sexiest, she wasn’t the best singer…but she was one of the greatest entertainers of my lifetime. Johnny Carson had it. Ellen Degeneres has it.

Too much? Ah,crap. Well then just make me da Vinci.

I wish I could write poetry without sounding like a pompous ass.

I’d give my right arm to be ambidextrous.

I have a decent singing voice, and I can play the drums, but I’ve always wanted to be able to play the piano, violin, or guitar. Alas, I can not read music. I painstakingly forced myself to pick out Moonlight Sonata on the piano and had it memorized for years, but I can’t remember it anymore. :(

I’d love to be able to sing! Dream job: lead singer in a metal band.

The talent to develop useful abilities in myself and others.

If I could sing, I would sing for a living.
If I could draw, I would draw for a living.
If i could play piano, I would do that for a living.
It is only because I am completely without any artistic talent that I do what I do for a living.

Awesome leadership thru incredible storytelling.

I’d like to be able to pick up any musical instrument and play it beautifully.

Being able to play the 88 keys like a master would be my choice.
