My Question of the Day: I have a friend from high school who told us that she never learned to skip. We thought that was so funny. Who doesn’t know how to skip? With that in mind, is there anything you wish you could do, that you have tried to do over and over, for which you realize you just simply have little or no talent?

My 2 Cents: Logic puzzles.

I buy those logic puzzle books, I do well with the first one or two, and then I’m stumped for the rest of the book.

This drives me crazy! I have always done extremely well academically, but the idea that I don’t have the kind of brain to work through logic puzzles just sends me!

I haven’t tried any in awhile. I may pick up a new book soon and give it another shot. We’ll see.

My Question of the Day: You have a good friend or relative who is determined to enter a competition to do something for which s/he totally has no talent. For years, you and so many others have tried to tell this person that this particular thing just isn’t his/her “cup of tea,” but s/he is absolutely determined to enter a competition that will expose him/her to the criticism of thousands of people. What do you do?

My 2 Cents: You can’t save a person who doesn’t want to be saved. I would make one, last attempt to ask him/her to think about what s/he is getting in to, and then I’d let it happen.

In the end, I’d be there to support him/her. I’m no talent scout, s/he may have the spark that someone else will see and know how to hone, so my good friend or relative can realize his/her dream. “Nothing ventured, nothing gained.”
