I Can Do Anything
I can shave with a razor without looking in the mirror.
Have you ever noticed how fixed you are in your ways, that you find it so hard to do things?
I was at the doctor's office, and the nurse said "Can you get up on the examining table?", and it occurred to me that some patients can't. So I replied, "Sure, I can do anything".
What can you do, that other people could probably learn to do, but don't?

I can swim!
Most adults in the US probably do know how to swim. But I didn't and I had anxiety about learning. My guess is that most adults who don't know how to swim do have anxiety about learning and, therefore, don't ever learn.
Learning to swim as an adult has given me a renewed sense of confidence and the feeling, like you and your shaving or exam table hopping, that I can do anything!   |

Things I can do:
1. I too can shave without a mirror (my armpits and legs). Never needed one.
2. Swim (believe it or not, most people can't swim or swim underwater either). I can do both very well. My mom used to call me Esther Williams when I was a kid. I was even on the swim team for 1 year. But running was more of my style though...
3. I, too, can get up on and off the examing table by myself too.
4. I can still ride a bicycle.
5. I can color/dye my own hair. But only about 2 shades darker or lighter. More drastic change I leave it to the salon professionals.

I can close one eye without squinting the other one. Then switch them. The only other person I've ever found that can do it is my sister.
I can make a sound like a kazoo by vibrating my front teeth against my lower lip.
I can p*ss off my neighbors in about two minutes, but that probably isn't unusual.
I can answer most Jeopardy questions relating to the bible and I have never read or studied it. That one freaks out Mrs. Tek, and I have no explanation for why I know all this stuff.

Maybe you were Moses in a past life? 
I can put both feet behind my head.
I can do a split.
I can teach a dog to open the refrigerator
I can grade the quality of a gemstone
I can tell a fake diamond from real.
I can tell which kind of gold is more durable and better for everyday wear.
I can design a flowerbed that when planted can take care of itself and survive the weeds next year.
