PART 1
ย
TALENTSย
ย
Do you have any talent?
ย
(Answer 1)ย
ย
Yes, I do! Every one of us has a special talent and thatโs a fact. As for me, Iโm good at dancing and painting. So, whenever I feel unhealthy, I just go to a dance studio nearby and dance. Also, if Iโm so inspired, I just pick up (take hold of and lift) my art materials and start painting or sketching.ย
ย
(Answer 2)ย
ย
Well, yes! I donโt want to sound like blowing my own horn ( to talk about oneself or oneโs achievements, especially in a way that shows pride or too much pride ) ย but Iโm really good at cooking. I can cook Mediterranean and Asian cuisines (dishes) very well. I was able to develop this talent when I was a teen because my mom worked in many different kinds of restaurants and she taught me how to cook. Actually, Iโm planning to make use of (utilize)ย this talent fully by building my own restaurant.ย
ย
Do you think your talent can be useful for your future work?
ย
(Answer 1)ย
ย
Iโm not sure if my talent can be useful for my work in the future since Iโm in the medical field. But itโs fine because I can make use of this talent of mine in a different way. Like I said earlier if I feel less active or depressed, I can do dancing or painting. Well, perhaps I can make use of my talent in dancing to entertain my patients.
ย
(Answer 2)ย
ย
Well, this talent of mine doesnโt have relevance to my current work but in the future when I can start my own restaurant business, then for sure my talent will be very useful and will surely help me improve my life significantly. Honestly, I canโt wait for that to happen in my life so thatโs why Iโm saving up as much as I can these days so I can build my own restaurant in five yearsโ time (five years later).ย
ย
What is one thing you mastered recently or when you were young?
ย
(Answer 1)ย
ย
Thatโs interesting! Well, I think I have mastered the art of not caring what other people think of me because life is short to live being too concerned about other peopleโs opinions. In the past, I cared so much about peopleโs opinions, however, after I read one of Mark Mansonโs books, thatโs when I realized to live with my own rules and not other peopleโs rules.ย
ย
(Answer 2)
ย
I donโt think I have already mastered this butย Iโm in the process of mastering solving Rubikโs cube in such a short period of time. I have learned several techniques and Iโm getting the hang of it (to learn the skills that are needed to do something). Honestly, Iโm inspired by the videos of skillful children who can solve it in less than a minute.ย I watched them on Youtube and I aspire (direct oneโs hopes towards achieving something) to be like them.ย
ย
Do you think anyone in your family has the same talent as you?
ย
(Answer 1)
ย
All of us are talented in the family but our talents are completely different. My dad is really good at numbers while my mom is good at writing. My older brother is very talented in sports and my sister is a good singer and as I said earlier Iโm into painting and dancing. Our respective (individual) talents are completely varied (diverse).ย
