Have you ever wanted to be something so badly? Did you try to learn that skill? How did it go?

I've always wanted to be more adept at being self-sufficient. I know some skills but I tend to get intimidated easily.

How good is your voice? Are you a good singer?

spg , I can carry a tune and hit the right notes, but that doesn't make me a 'good' singer...lol. It just means that I can get through a song without doing much damage and I have fun doing it Also, years ago, I took an online course to improve on my writing skills. I really enjoyed it and learned a lot. But, then, dealing with an emotional point in my life, I froze and developed writers' block. Someday, though..I will get back into it and learn more
So, what are you interested in or really good at? Or want to learn more about? :-)

Interesting. Never knew there are courses that teaches us how to write. What all do they teach? I would like to learn how to create good articles. They pay well if do. I am good at web design.

spg, They teach you how to hone your skills...to form sentences without being repetitive or too wordy (which I just did...lol). How to grab the reader's attention with the first few words. And, they actually do give you grades A-F...and edit with red ink:-) It was quite a learning experience & I thoroughly enjoyed it while it lasted. :-) Hmm...creating good articles sounds like fun and also rewarding. Like for a newspaper or magazine? And, you're good at web design. Wow, web design would go right over my head, so, kudos to you! How far have you pursued either one and how is that going?

Interesting..
Websites and forums buy articles for their use. Some of them pay well.
Thanks for the appreciation. I am improving my writing skills and web design is a hobby. I help people create websites.

spg, Oh, you're welcome! And, you help people create websites...that's so awesome I'm impressed...and, like I said, I have no clue how to do web designs. So, I'll just leave it to you...lol

Computers and Networking was something I loved doing since the internet started, really loved how websites worked back in the day when gaming sites were a thing. I took it from there and just kept tinkering until I figured out how things worked, As I learned the different software languages I kept wanting more and moved into my own servers and started building and hosting websites. Well, that was close to 25 years and I'm still doing it.
I should have studied networking as I love doing that stuff as well but got into Management instead.

I've been involved in networking off and on for 30 years, but I'm looking to get into the management end of things. A tech-savvy manager would be much better than dealing with management who has no idea what their techies actually do all day - which is the majority of them.

How good is your voice? Are you a good singer? Yeah, but I need to get some more practice in. It's fallen by the wayside with the pandemic.
I do still perform as a host every Wednesday; that requires proper voice projection.

How good is your voice? Are you a good singer? My voice is so-so. NOT a good singer at all. I tend to mince words when I talk, that's why I prefer to write it lol

One skill I wanted growing up was programming and I learned it by myself for myself and now I own an amazing forum, subreddit, and discord server dedicated to helping people learn how to code. It is the most amazing thing.
