I’m pretty happy with my balance of skills in my life so when this post requires me to think of one thing I’d love to master, that’s quite hard.
I like to think, without being too modest, that I’m decent at teaching, playing the music I do, this website lark and so on.
Although, one thing that I shy away from is public speaking. I’m not very good at that and it would help my life if I were better. Band concerts would run a lot smoother, for instance. It would also make turning one of my hobbies into a more realistic alternative to my current job should the need arise. I have sometimes wondered what I would do if I didn’t teach and think I could make a reasonable living from turning the website hobby into a job. I just have no idea how I’d go about it and have no desire whatsoever to leave teaching. Also, as good as they are – good enough to get by – I doubt I could make enough to live on from it. How do people run web design companies and still make money?! Once the site is complete, what provides an ongoing income? I have no idea.
