Say you could have any one skill instantly and completely mastered, but, it can’t be anything you use just to make money, get you fame, or help your career or life. It’s purely for your pleasure and people who maybe enjoy seeing carrying out this skill. Also NO superpowers, only things that are achievable through hard work and practice.
Mine would be to master the piano, I already play the guitar, but never got round to the piano.
So what would your instantly mastered skill be ? |

"Understand women! "
Although that’s a superpower innit? So I’ve broken the rules! In which case become an artist. I’ve always wanted to be able to draw magnificent pictures but I’m total bobbins at it. Maybe with tuition and practice I’d get there! |

I'd love to master the art of going out in central London and not missing the last train home as I got too carried away with my nights out resulting in insane taxi or Uber fees. |

"Shooting a Gun, tried it in Vegas, harder than you think it would be.
It is good fun, especially long distance. Are there no ranges near you?"
Nah, I don't think so. I haven't looked into it properly though, will have to remedy that. Yeah the adrenaline was good i don't think my heart has beaten so fast before. |

Be able to Dancw or sing, either would do, I'm generally pretty awesome at anything athletic or techy, but chuck in some art, and self consciousness and lack of ability make me a complete tosser. |

There and to the left a bit |
Something musical like an instrument or being able to sing - but as a few have said that the other thing would be something creative like carpentry or drawing - I don't have a creative bone in my body but admire those that do. |

Guitar & Bass player here, but I did piano at school - piano is a lot easier to learn (to a reasonable standard) than the guitar.
Mine would be film directing |

Not sure about completely mastered but I'm pretty damn good at 4 of the above mentioned skills, that I take for granted. Everyone is good at something... |

What I mean is that many of us have abilities that other people see as special, maybe even unattainable. Like those who can play instruments without thinking about it but for me I cant imagine even trying. Languages is another one I am in awe of.... |

"I want to be able to slice a cucumber really quickly, like a chef can."
Easy -tuck uour finger tips behind thelast knuckle so that the flat edge of the blade is guided by the knuckles -then you can chop as fast as you like without risk to said digits -this a chef taught me. |

Like a few on here, I've always wanted to play the piano. I dabbled when I was younger but turned to the guitar as it was somewhat simpler and quicker to get into.
And again like others have said, I've always fancied being a bit of a polyglot. |

I would chop my fingers off at the knuckle. |

You need to use a wide bladed chefs knife -not a pairing knife -and make sure you never raise the blade above the knuckle line -if you start slowly, you will be surprised at how fast you get the hang of it |

I'm opting for singing too.
I had a beautiful voice as a child, school & church choir, often did solo - could hit notes that really did shatter glasses.
Mid teens, my voice broke!
I now sound like a cat being scalded.
Doesn't stop my singing but it does cause people to stick their fingers on their ears.
