That you didn't know that you could do?
I was watching a show earlier about people that can swallow swords, walk on firey coals, one guy could shove a screwdriver thru his nose noway
So I'm tryin to figure out first of all, how in world does a person figure out that they can do these things??
It's not something I would ever want to try, but what happens in your life that you decide "hey, I wonder if I can shove this screwdriver all the way in my nose without hurting myself?"
So in a way, I kind of wonder... what could I do that I had no idea that I could do?? hhhmmmmm

Well... I don't think those people just DID IT one day. Dedication to a craft, ya know?

I can skateboard... kinda. I can't do handrails or crazy flip tricks but I love riding the park trails. My friend does bushido. He just picked up a wooden sword one day and never stopped. I told him that they are very much the same - a human connection to a wooden object.

Maybe you could be really good at handstands?

I understand it takes dedication and practice... but thats my point. How does one decide they really want to learn to swallow swords??

I'm starting to realize that I know more about PHP than I thought. I'm starting to understand other languages better also. I think I just might be able to make this whole "online business" thing work after all!

You just do. Hehe. It's really that simple.
I guess you have to "click" with what you're doing... but usually you'll feel an almost natural connection. Or, if you don't feel connected to it at all, an unusual drive to pursue.

Congrats.
I've always thought of code like any other language.

I forget what it stands for, but it's a scripting language used to create websites.

I just think it shows what all you can do if you really put yr mind to something. With focus and dedication and persistance people can accomplish almost anything they want.

Look, if you're that bored, we'll just go out, have some drinks and then throw things at moving cars from the side of the road. There's no need for this. flowerforyou

Walking on coals is a proof of faith in a lot of cultures, so that would be something you are born into. Sticking a sword down your throat? Aspiration to be a carnie? I would guess there are weirder goals out and about the vast landscape, at least they aren't eating people...sorry, that slipped...
