    Something I taught my kids last night: Everyone has something they're unusually good at. When you meet someone try to figure out what it is.

        Totally agree. I also feel that when someone discovers that for themselves & are determined to achieve something, things start to click.

        it depends on the person & so many other things about the context of the interaction.

        I’m unusually good at memorizing lyrics to songs, in case anyone wants to know.
