My secret skill

What’s a secret skill or ability you have or wish you had?

I will divide this into two parts, one part for a skill I wish I had, and one for what I actually have.

1. A secret skill I wish I had:

The ability to fly, easily, but it has to be quick flight, not some slow hovering. This has been a dream forever; it could be as a hero like Superman, or as a mutant who gets wings. I do not care in which way, as long as I can fly and move as freely as the birds do.

Of course, it would be nice if the flight speed was anywhere between 0kmph to 5000kmph (given that I also had the skill to survive such a flight).

Being able to move freely across the globe, to see the amazing planet from the skies, it is a dream. Most likely an impossible skill to attain, but even so, I wish I had that skill.

2. A secret skill I have:

I do not know if this can be considered a skill or just a defect, but I will mention my spontaneity. The reason for mentioning this is because I have met and also travelled with people, that do not have this skill, sometimes not at all. This meant they were both afraid and unwilling to adapt to some slight changes to the original plan for the travel, or in general.

Seeing their reaction, the panic, and the helplessness it sometimes rendered them in, it made me re-think my own “ability”. I am so used to living an unplanned life, that usually when something like this happens, I just go with the best alternative or just do something else entirely.

Of course I can get annoyed and sometimes it becomes a hassle when reordering for example hotel bookings etc, but there is basically nothing I can do about it but to adapt or find other ways. So that is why I remain calm, and just go with the flow, it is just the easier option.

So that is why I started considering this as a “skill” that I have.
