Ability to quickly learn languages - excellent! I was never interested in learning languages as a youngster, and I had some great opportunities. I wish my parents had pushed me to do it.

focus and determination of Roger Penske - another good one, probably another one that I could use. I guess I'd call it "drive". I lack drive to accomplish more, and if I had it, hoo-boy, I'd be dangerous.

Yes, maybe less realistic is reading minds, but that one is huge. Maybe the more realistic version is "read people". There seem to be people that are excellent at "reading" people, ie, a little interaction and they perceive quite a lot about a person's motivations, demeanor, etc... While reading minds would be great, reading people would be a huge step for me. (I can't read people for sheiße)
