The ability to do basic activities is expected of us as humans. These are life's basic skills that we should learn to do. Some, and maybe most are the results of a learning process while some can be achieved by mere trying or doing, eventually. Attaining a certain age in life demands that we can do these basic things or activities.
These activities such as sweeping, cleaning, washing, cooking and the rest are considered normal and basic for an individual. I'll say they are the things every human, irrespective of whatever factors should learn to do. They are basic and considered normal because of how constantly we do them. However, these are necessary for daily, weekly or monthly life.
By either observation or the due process of learning, I've learnt these activities are common but really important. I needed to learn them, and I did. While there are some I'll say I'm not really good at, there are others I can perhaps say I'm good at when it comes to doing or executing them.
As per the prompt, I need to discuss any or some of these activities that I'm so good at that they could be considered like a superpower. Something I do well more than others that if I were to compete, I'll be in a position to come out at the top. Okay, this was just me adding sauce to the prompt. But you get my point.
Looking at it, I won't be able to categorically tell that this or this activity fits the description for me. Yes, there are some I can say that I'm good at when it comes to doing them, but the placement as something I'm completely good at you could consider a superpower is something more, and I don't know if I can say that.
However, what I can say is that you should count me as good to a great extent when it comes to cleaning and washing. Not every day or time though. I know I've received a few accolades while younger about how I washed or clothes. Others likewise are cleaning activities; sweeping, mopping. I don't know, but these are the closest to the point for me.
Since these were some of the activities I was earlier exposed to, the possibility of doing them well was there. One thing is that when I try to do something, I try to do it well. I was taught to execute these basic activities well, not just to do them and go. You can't even just do and go, an evaluation follows sometimes to ensure it was done well.
Beyond that, cleaning and washing are major activities which I believe should be in every home. There was an intentional attitude towards cleanliness and the opposite was unwelcome in my house. So, it was kind of inculcated as a default attitude, and I learnt to do them well beyond just doing them.
Today, they seem to be the activities that I can say I do well, especially when I want to. Since I know the value of cleanliness coupled with the character already built in me, these became very intentional activities. Of course, there were times the execution was not excellent. But when I mean to clean, I do it well, and give my best as I can.
Images are mine.
