This question keeps smacking me upside the head, too. I used to think I didn't Own a skillset, but now I know I have plenty of completely useless skillsets. My quilting skills are good but useless unless I suddenly become brave enough to travel and teach, Strong enough to produce all the needed class samples, or thrifty enough to stop indulging my fabric addiction faster than I can sell stuff.
I have extensive troves of random knowledge(good only for irritating friends and family so they refuse to play Scrabble or trivial Pursuit). I speak very good French (when drunk). I can write but not type. The list goes on....
I have begun to see that WHAT I am (do) is not the same as WHO I am. Neither tells the whole story.
