Hello
I have been reading these posts for a while and realized that I don't know what my talents are. I can't define them exactly.
My area of expertise, if you can call it that, is translating. I enjoyed being an interpreter and would love to do that now. I was lucky that my parents realised how important it is to know other languages, and decided that I should start with English. Then Spanish, French, Latin, German... I love languages... That skill has helped me find a "dream job" three years ago with the United Nations Mission in Kosovo. Lord, I would love to go back. But, I had to move to the US.
One thing I think is one of my best features is that I love people, I love talking to people... I am very organized, well, not any more being at home.
I want instant results... But, wanting instant results can be really stressful, especially doing things online. I am trying to teach myself to take things slowly.
A thing I forgot, is being a mother. It is something that tought me to accept selflessness for the time being. It tought me much and I am still learning.
The biggest mistake I always make is that I give up easily. If things are not developing the way I wanted them, I give up. I gave up on my dreams to become a jazz singer even though I was invited to take a "test" at the Jazz Academy of Gratz, Austria. I just didn't think I was good enough.
I entered a phase where I found myself thinking what to do next... This has been a hard year for me and I am still recovering from the "cultural" shock...
Hm, this is a very deep topic Lynn, you made me really sad...
I am going now.... to kiss the baby and watch her sleep
