    To be able to make the most of every hour, every day and not procrastinate and just laze around for whatever bloody reason that seems to be getting worse lately. I feel I've wasted an entire lifetime by just doing nothing and I'm only just 20 years old.

    I'd just love more time to be able to pursue skills or talents... I have time for my singing but I'm years out of practise on my poor cello. I can still play it like, but not at the diploma level + I was, not without months of catching up

    I'd love to be better at drawing. And speak more languages

    I never got the hang of cartwheels...

    Oh, I'm so jealous you can play the cello. Beautiful instrument that.


  • Registered Users Posts: 505 ✭✭✭murphm45


    Juggling or something requiring a similar level of adroitness. Although at this stage I'd nearly settle for being to write legibly!!

    I joined a local amateur orchestra in order to give me the opportunity to play my cello. It's fantastic fun - you should try to find something similar yourself :)

    The ability to pick up foreign languages quickly.

    It would also be absolutely brilliant to be able to become invisible.

    I'd love to be fluent in a few languages.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,736 ✭✭✭DeadHand


    Cunnilingus.
    Telepathy.
    Telekinesis.

    In that order.


  • Moderators, Motoring & Transport Moderators Posts: 6,521 Mod ✭✭✭✭Irish Steve


    The ability to recognise the gobshi**s that are going to screw me BEFORE I do work for them that then ends up not being paid for.

    The ability to be able to say NO to some people, and mean it.

    The ability to be really able to make a difference to some of the situations that life keeps throwing at us.

    The ability to recognise the many people in professional bodies like architects, solicitors, bankers and high ranking state officials that are not operating in my interest BEFORE they screw me.

    Shore, if it was easy, everybody would be doin it.😁

    I sound like the cat you just stepped on!

    I'd love to be able to play soccer with some degree of skill. People say practice makes perfect, but I'm practising a long time now with no great improvement. I still enjoy it though.

    I love languages, if I could make the time I'd buy a whole library of Rosetta Stone DVD's as I seem to have a natural ability for languages that I feel I haven't fully explored.

    I'd also love to be able to play more musical instruments, I find music and playing music incredibly theraputic. I can play classical piano and I'm always envious of people who can play some of the more modern pop music. I keep meaning to make time to learn how to play guitar, I often listen to acoustic versions of songs on YouTube and wish I could play those songs.

    Art, I'd love to be able to create a piece of work that inspires people, instead of the Simpsonesque style character drawings I've done since childhood. I can only draw carricatures, I can't do portraits.

    I'd love to be able to make more time for my photography and video work.

    It's difficult to keep up with fast moving trends in technology and computer science but I'd love to have more time to learn more programming languages, and perhaps get more into mobile platform development.

    I play guitar, piano and funnily enough I have a degree in...Maths & English. Want to attend my seminar? It also doubles as a typing workshop.

    Myself, I would love to have "perpetual charisma", I suppose like always being in the zone. Sometimes in life when you meet people, you're not at your best and you'd give a bad impression or not come off the way you'd hoped. The ability to avoid that would be great, it would help you to maximise all potential opportunities that could come your way.
