What is your strongest skill?

Just for kicks. Are you good at drawing? Running? Doing cartwheels blindfolded? Are you really good at sitting still for hours at a time or twirling a pencil around in your fingers?
This is actually a two-parter:
What's your strongest skill?
Does it help you in your daily life?
Personally, I consider my strongest skill to be creating characters that I will never actually use in a story, especially in the hour before I fall asleep. I can churn them and mock-up stories out like it's nobody's business but they'll never be written, or if they are they'll never be finished.
Probably my most useless skill ever.
Second would have to be drawing incredibly pretty men (people in general, but mostly males). Not the most practical skill in the world, but it does have some uses when I feel a bit bored.

Sleeping. I can win with anyone in this category
And it doesn't help much... unless I just need to kill some time, then it's perfect :P
Next one would be art, in a way. Bit I still have a long way in making it good.
And writing. Making up stories and world around them was always easy to me. Not very helpful though.

Ah, sleeping. That's a skill I wish I could master. Does that include both falling asleep quickly and waking easily?
Making up stories can be useful if you get good at creating plausible lies...but maybe that's not something I should be promoting..?

Drawing and writing are really strong skills of mine.
But I'm really self-conscious in both.
It helps me if I want to use them.

I think my strongest - and only - skill is learning languages. I seem to pick up pretty fast on them, especially when I'm in the country in which it is spoken.
Obviously this does help me in daily life, but not as much as I'd like to. ;D
Sadly I often get nervous when I'm actually trying to speak it so it's worthless after all, unless it's written.

I'm really good at scaring my friends. It doesn't help me in daily life (except for laughs), but it could come in handy if I ever saw a burglar in my house.

Writing defiantly.
It'll be pretty useful career wise once I finish college.

Hmm...
I'm not sure what my strongest skill really is...
I suppose I'm pretty good at cooking and baking, which includes coming up with recipes. This is definitely great for every day use. I get to eat good food, and even healthy food that also tastes good.
I am all right at drawing, just as long as I put my all into it. Otherwise my poses/backgrounds/facial expressions can come out terribly. But this isn't a skill that gets me in the real world. Especially since my job mostly consists of... math. x.x And writing down information needed in Human Resources type stuff.
I am also rather good at writing, but I am self-conscious about showing my stories. I edit the hell out of them numerous times to make them better. But my essay writing did get me A's in high school and college.
I was also fairly at creating RP characters back in the day. (I guess both writing and drawing go into that.) But I haven't RPed in years so this is a pretty null point...

Hone that skill, master it, get a job working security, terrify all burglars and become known as the security guard of nightmares?

That sounds like an amazing skill, especially if your job consists of writing arguments or speeches.

I memorize things fast. I can play songs from memory after only a couple of times through (not always a good thing, like when you accidentally memorize your part for a symphony and your studio professor sighs with frustration because, dammit, you're not learning anything memorizing it!), and I'm really good acting on stage. It also helps in my job, because, even though there are small changes going from store to store, I have a general idea where stuff is going to go.
