You do what the other 99% of the world do, learn to be good at something.

Some people just are not talented in something. Are you referring to a hobby or something you could make into a career? If it's the latter then your education might be your talent.

My only real talent outside of education is sleeping.

Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard

I like it!

Haha! Well everyone would one day like to turn there hobby into a job! The only thing I do is play football.. but then again I say "Play" All I really do is fall over and kick it far away from where I'm aiming loool! Sleep could be a good one though! Any jobs?

Nah I've never had a job, I'm still in school.

Actually I can cook quite good, thanks to mummy teaching me :biggrin:

I'm sure if you search hard enough and look hard enough you'll find a hobby and then after some time you could become talented in that hobby.

Most important thing is to do whatever you enjoy, even if that means coming home from work and watching TV all day, if that is what genuinely makes you happy, then so be it.

Same here, buddy. Except I am "grown up" and still have no idea about what I want to study, let alone what career I want.

You are probably selling yourself short. Some skills can be acquired. You need to spend time thinking about basic skills, go for those you like and try and find s job that uses them. You get better by using them as well as study. It requires effort. If you then get moderately good at some things, see what it looks like then. You dont say your age.

I wouldn't know.

.......

In all honesty I'm only "fairly" good at music, ( http://www,soundcloud.com/indaya-uk ), all you need is that one thing that you like (and I wasn't naturally "good" it took years of trial and error and bad criticism and dedication but if you have the potential and dedication you'll go far, Take a hobby up, with no expectations, and see where it leads. Good luck.
