What do you wish you were good at but aren't?
For me it's maths, playing the guitar and getting across ideas, in speach, clearly and coherantly.

I wish I could speak without making an arse of myself / mixing my words up / saying things wrongly (like mixing all the words in a sentence up) / using the proper word.
I hate my speaking. :hang:

I feel the same. I also want to do guitar better and maybe be in a band.

I wish I had more business saavy. I'm trying to break into my field after having worked for myself since I graduated two years ago. I'm having to re-invent myself from Casual Hippy to Suave Business Guy. I have a lot of money in student loans to pay back so I want a job that will pay really well. It's been difficult to change, but I'm learning.

I would love to be able to be a good Mathematician.
I would also love to be an artist. I have many ideas for art but my hand never agrees with my ideas so it alwyas looks shit :D

I wish I could sing well enough to not scare small children.
Part of me wishes I were more ambitious - the other part of me wonders why.
I wish I were neater and more organized.
I'll help you math challenged people in exchange for help in these other areas!
Oh, and ditto on what Inatlantis said about being an artist.

I wish I could write fiction. I'm great at non-fiction. Hell, I wrote the audit "How-to" manual for my workplace, but can't do anything creative.
Of course, creativity in accountants is usually bad.

I'd like to be better at math. Although I am pretty good (dont mean to brag) I still 'panic' on the simplest of questions. :hang:

I would want to be better at making graphicall images, and be good at HTML, JavaScript, etc. Even tho I'm the only one at my school who knows HTML, kinda.

I wish I knew a lot more, but since that's not a "talent"
I wish I could play my guitar a helluva lot better, be in a band.
I wish I could view and express my thoughts a lot more clearly than I do.

I wish I was better at math and not so nervous when I hafta do a speech.
Also, I wish I didn't procrastinate so much and that I had more motivation.

There are probably quite a few things that I wish I were better at. A couple that come to mind right now are I wish I were better at programming and more comfortable in front of a group of people when making a speech.

I'm like a jack of all trades, so there isn't anything that I'm really good at. I just want to be able to be really good at whatever career I'll have.

I can make an arse of myself in front of the whole school, but I can't do a speech in front of one class.
I can't belive how bad people are at maths, I'm no albert enstein, but gess.

I've already got above average talent.
It comes with being left handed;)

The thing with chicks is that they grow up within 6 weeks to be hens or cockerels, and then have feathers, shit everwhere and eat anything.

Mine usually grow up to be spiteful bitches, spread shit about me everywhere, and eat anything that has a price with more than two digits after it :)

I wish I was good a lot of things:
The trumpet
Giving speeches
Fighting
Getting women
Looking not ugly
etc.
It would be nice to be able to understand the math behind Quantum Physics, but it's not that terribly important to me.

I wish I was good at keeping money in my bank account.
I wish I was good at skining animals with buttons.
I wish I was superman.
I wish I was married to a top model.
I wish I could stop wishing.

I used to haul chickens from the East coast to the West coast.
I hated it when it rained.
I had to stop and make 'em put on their little raincoats,
their little rubber boots, and thier goggles.
:D
I wish I'd stuck with learning how to play the violin.
That's the only thing I started and gave up on.
