Is anyone out there truly gifted? With what?

Question

What sets you apart?????

Answer 1

I achieved 99% in an English exam when I was 11. I perform poetry, humourous and off beat twice a month on stage in local venues, along with other people.

I have created 'pop art' style collages in my spare time.

I have written humourous pieces and relatively 'serious' essays. They have to be original, fantastical yet soberly logical and true.

I have studied philosophy but I have always been very perceptive and can create very logical arguments that are difficult to meaningfully argue against. I could become a lawyer if I didn't mind lying or working with people with little respect for themselves (that's just the other judges).

I believe that I have a strong general knowledge in the arts and politics in particular. I believe that it is a total intellectual mistake to say that the lyrics of, say, The Smiths, are less worthy of literary praise than everybody who have won the Nobel Prize for Literature. I do not go to the extreme, though, of saying that all art is equal. However, though The Beatles are indisputably better than The Cheeky Girls, you could still argue that The Cheeky Girls are easier on the eye.

I am a believer that everyone should strive for excellence because it is in everyone's interests, including their sense of self worth, to try to do the best they can do.

Answer 2

I can shoot a ping-pong ball from my 'lady garden' across the living room which is about 13ft. I think that sets me apart even thought the Guiness Book of Records weren't interested.

Answer 3

When I was a kid I was a "mentally gifted minor" "California State Identified Gifted Student."

I have a pretty good memory, frequently mistaken for intelligence.

Also, I was really good at guessing on multiple-choice tests. My SAT score was so good, I used it to join Mensa!

Answer 4

We are all individual, and that alone sets us each with a special gift. In my case I like to think that being questionable of all things in life is my thing, but if your looking for something materialistic i like pink Ford Thunderbirds. :)

Answer 5

i'm gifted with a family, a faith, a career and a community. i don't know if that sets me apart, but i sure feel gifted.

Answer 6

Amazingly I too can shoot a ping-pong ball from my 'lady garden'. I've never measured how far, but last summer I shot one into the neighbours garden, who had the vicar round for tea...and amazingly it landed in his teacup. All she'd offered him was tea and an almond slice.

I've not had the courage to go to church since!

Answer 7

i sometimes know what ppl are thinking. some are easier than others & the longer i know them the easier it gets. although some ppl i cant "read" at all. i,ve been known to finish sentences off on occasion & im better at picking up on other peoples emotions than anything else.

Answer 8

Yeah man, I can totally hear dead people and see into the future! Are you???
