Which human skill impresses you the most

[Brightwell’s left peg]

Watching a grandmaster pianist probably makes me feel most humbled at what an individual human is capable of, in a skills sense.

Just found this video. Whole thing is fantastic, but at 9.21 it becomes mesmerising.



So, outside of football, what skills impress you most about what an Individual is capable of.

Murder and torture

Brain/heart, transplants ,surgery not some fucker tickling the ivories :)

 

[blue b4 the moon]

The ability of scroats to always seem to survive scratch free and run away from things like car crashes while innocent people tend to get injured or worse.

Suppose being impressed isn't really the correct word to use, frustrated is perhaps a better one.

Without going deep, people with amazing singing voices, whether just universal real great voices ( say a Nat King Cole) and the more unique and unusual (say a Liz Fraser or Kate Bush)
AND, people who can draw (or artists in general I suppose) I used to think drawing, portraits etc were a right rip off in how much they charged (despite being in admiration) until I learnt how much actually goes into a really good one, watching someone, building layers, using the various techniques, and the time it takes as well as the research and tests into the types of paper and pencil's, it’s something else.

Plastering. I've tried it on little patch up jobs and messed it up every time.

Slapping someone while they’re asleep on a train.
