What is that one thing(maybe many) about you that is very extraordinary and makes you feel proud about yourself ?

It is not extraordinary and it doesn't make me proud. However, one quality (skill, ability??) I am glad I have is the ability to sense a person's personality first time I see them. I immediately sense if he is "good" or "bad" and if we could be friends.Docscientist said:What is that one thing(maybe many) about you that is very extraordinary and makes you feel proud about yourself ?
My friend has this quality too and she aspires to become a psychologist.Sophia said:I am glad I have is the ability to sense a person's personality first time I see them.
I am also pretty good at detecting other's emotions and moods .

36 years for me, but my greatest accomplishment is probably perfecting the chocolate chip cookie, seriously though congratulations on 28 years, really gives a relationship perspective doesn't it?Kevin McHugh said:I've been married to the same woman for 28 years. I'm very proud of that. I never thought I could, when I said I do.
I'm pretty sure that accumulating experience through a couple of marriages has its advantages as well, nothing wrong with that. You can check with your wife but she will likely agree with mine that its not true all the credit goes to one member in a relationship, my wife's analogy is marriage is a job like any other and you go to work on it everyday or someones going to get "fired".einswine said:Congratulations to you guys. I does seem to only get better with time. We're 40 years into it but its a second marriage for both of us. I guess we needed practice. In any case my wife gets all the credit. I have no idea how she has put up with me all these years. And off topic again.
One of the most undervalued emotions going these days, we would all do well to cultivate more of it.TheBlackAdder said:Empathy

That scares me even more.Evo said:I can proofread and find ALL of the errors anyone else makes. Unfortunately, it doesn't work for what I write.
Yes, please. Quite down.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmmrrfJKY7I said:Would whoever is making that flapping sound, quite down?!
True. Resistance is futile !Mondayman said:...Get things done without complaint and as efficiently as possible.
I agree with @Psinter that that's scary. I lost a lot of points on an assignment once because the teacher was too nit-picky about grammar. His complaints were like, "You used the passive voice and that's just being lazy"Evo said:I can proofread and find ALL of the errors anyone else makes.

Apparently! Because I "was not thinking about how to make [my] sentences more powerful" and "passive voices give you blue lines on Word".mfb said:The usage of passive voice is the practice of being lazy?

I think passive voice may make one sound and look more quarky. Its excessive use can increase or produce one's quarkiness profusely.ProfuselyQuarky said:Apparently! Because I "was not thinking about how to make [my] sentences more powerful" and "passive voices give you blue lines on Word".
(I'd lose points for the last sentence, too, since I started it with a conjunction)

You don't say. Does that mean use of the passive voice + quirkiness leads to being punny, too? (probably a side effect)Pepper Mint said:I think passive voice may make one sound and look more quarky. Its excessive use can increase or produce one's quarkiness profusely.
Almost! but it still depends on the puns themselves.ProfuselyQuarky said:You don't say. Does that mean use of the passive voice + quirkiness leads to being punny, too? (probably a side effect)
As a scientist, I am often asked about my strengths and unique qualities. While I believe that each individual has their own set of strengths, I would say that my one superb quality is my curiosity. I have a natural inclination to question and explore the world around me, which has led me to pursue a career in science.
My curiosity allows me to approach problems and research with an open mind and a desire to learn. It drives me to ask questions, seek out new information, and think critically about the world. This quality has helped me to make new discoveries and contribute to the scientific community.
One example of how my curiosity has led to a scientific breakthrough is when I was conducting research on a particular species of plants. I noticed that there were certain patterns in their growth that didn't match existing theories. This sparked my curiosity and I delved deeper into the research, eventually discovering a new mechanism of growth in these plants that had not been previously documented.
I believe that curiosity is a mindset that can be nurtured and developed. As a scientist, I constantly seek out new information, attend conferences and seminars, and collaborate with other researchers to stay updated on the latest developments in my field. I also make it a point to read outside of my specific area of expertise to broaden my knowledge and perspective.
My advice would be to never stop asking questions and to always approach new information with an open mind. Don't be afraid to challenge existing theories and ideas, and always seek out new opportunities to learn and grow. Remember that curiosity is the key to unlocking new discoveries and making a meaningful impact in the scientific community.
