3 skills - philharmonic instrument, banal market, swimming

Violin - Learnt violin for astir 8 years successful my schoolhouse days and re-joined past twelvemonth (along with my son). However, with enactment commitments and different priorities (and of course, plentifulness of lame excuses), I'm incapable to bash justness to the class. Wish to walk much clip successful practising.

Stock market - Have immoderate basal cognition connected this and person been an capitalist with immoderate adept help. Would similar to get into the nuances of this for a agelong clip now. As you had rightly pointed out, this could precise good service arsenic a secondary root of income - if you cognize what/how to bash it correctly. No 1 tin pinpoint the peaks and bottoms - but, immoderate adept cognition would marque a batch of difference.
I person heard folks accidental that banal marketplace is similar gambling - I perfectly would not hold to the statement.

Swimming - Learnt swimming astatine the property of ~25 and that too, could bash it lone for those 14 days period. Wish I had learnt it successful my younger days.

P.S: Nice topic!!

Awesome topic.

I knocked disconnected swimming from my database of skills to get beauteous precocious successful beingness but truly gladsome I did.

I bash person different skill/thing which I tried doubly but failed - Wearing interaction lenses.
Sounds anserine and weird unless you are successful my shoes.

I americium a myopic with precocious spherical powerfulness and this becomes a limiting unit during sports and a fewer different activities (scuba diving, roller coasters, 3d movies). In specified scenarios, lenses tin assistance maine importantly and marque the acquisition overmuch much enjoyable. But I americium incapable to poke my eyes and enactment connected the darn things.

Was having a speech with woman contiguous that I should effort it erstwhile again. Fingers crossed!
