30 Talents I'd Learn if I were stuck in Groundhogs Day
Random Observation/Comment #275: If something’s important to you, then you will make time.
Why This List?
The name of the list really gives it all away. Imagine you were stuck in a loop where each day you woke up repeating the same day and remembering what you did the day before. What would you learn if you were stuck in this endless loop? In the Groundhogs Day movie, Bill Murray learned how to play the piano and make ice sculptures with chain saws. Maybe I’d do something similar.
Play the piano fairly well
Speak all the languages I already know fluently
Use photoshop like I see the pros do on worth1000.com
Draw awesome realistic portraits on napkins
Dance something obscenely complicated
Freestyle rap off the dome
Become an amazing table tennis player
Memorize the order of a randomized deck of cards
Rehearse lines from a Shakespearean play
Solve Sunday crosswords in under 20 minutes
Be able to ‘Sherlock’ someone
Juggle a soccer ball and do really ridiculous tricks in the park
Break dance (although this would be tough if I can’t build up any additional muscle.)
Use an abacus very quickly
Do crazy fast complicated math in my head
Tell funny jokes or really involved stories
Do crazy pen tricks (started learning at Cooper)
Sing a love song perfectly
Become a really good masseuse
Be able to clear a table at pool
Juggle more than 5 items at a time
Hoola hoop for more than 1 minute
Get really good at fencing
Get a consistent 4:1 ratio in Counter Strike (nowadays much harder than what it was)
Give a jaw-dropping and inspiring 10-minute speech
Become an expert in black holes and time travel
Be able to chop/dice as fast as some of the chef pros
Manual focus quickly and accurately (I’m so bad at it…)
Be able to build an unbelievable sand castle or snow man (depending on the season I’m stuck in)
Learn everything about the people I love
