Default What is your mastery?

To celebrate my 100th post, I decided to start this thread that will make us all feel good.

Many people don't even suspect that what they are doing everyday can be amazing to other people and worth modeling.

In order to make us think about what we do well, let's start the boast fest!
Post anything you think you excel at.
Some guidelines to make it interesting:

- Don't be shy - anyone can do something special, even the most mundane skill you have can be something another person always wanted to master.
- Be positive - being master procrastinator is an exceptional skill. It means that you've achieved so much, given all the time you've spent procrastinating.
- Be creative - Let's post at least three things. You'll be amazed of the discoveries that you can make, when you start thinking about your mastery.

I expect people starting to comment and asking about how you do something. Ideally this thread will evolve into "mastery exchange", where weight control can be exchanged for early rising and a bonus poetry composition.

To set an example, I'll start

1. I can easily control my internal states. I control pain, hunger and appetite. I can fall asleep in 3 seconds and wake up as easyly. I can get myself drunk with water and sober up after alcohol intoxication.
2. I am very good at listening other people. My first experience with counseling others was me listening for people pouring out their problems.
They thanked me afterwards, even when I didn't give them any useful advice.
3. I have a perfect at Student's syndrome. I can perfectly estimate the time necessary to complete any task without compromising quality. I used to procrastinate this way, nowadays I just put many consecutive tasks in pipeline and they get done with the optimal effort to result ratio.

What about you?
