A sport you have had to stop for injuries or university/working reasons is a good point to deep dive.

Honestly, I really cannot think of anything I'm really good at but give up persisting in doing it. I mean typically what I really good at are things that I have passions so I might direct my ways of doing them regarding the changing situations but I won't say that I never want to do anymore. For example, the first thing pops up my mind is leaving the academic area and managing to become a qualified consultant. However, I adapt what I've taken from academic training to the new field. I appreciate my subject brought me here and still have passions developing it while in a different way.

I am definitly a very good chef with high potential and have found, what most of the people never or hardly find during their life: love and fulfilment for the profession. But from the moment, when than profession is needed to earn money in terms of a general job as a chef, i lose that uniquely positive connection. This is why i immediately quit the job after successful completion.

I am really good at acting on stage but I would never want to do it anymore because it requires a lot of time and energy to get into a character and play that role.

I got asked this question in a Big 4 interview and I said
“I'm really good at administrative tasks, taking meeting minutes etc. but as you go from Analyst to Senior Consultant, you don't want to be relied upon to take on those tasks anymore”. I elaborated a bit more on that but generally it's doing the grunt work when you're an Analyst but then taking on more responsibility as a Senior Consultant and want to be treated as such.
The interviewer praised me for my answer and said although there's no right/wrong answer, this is the one he likes to hear. I got through to the next round after this interivew as well.

making manual transcripts of calls. It's not a stimulating job, it is time-consuming but can be easily automated.

I am really good at administrative work such as note taking during meetings, managing websites etc, but as I want to work as an associate consultant I would like to focus more on working at the client side and taking more important responsibilities to advance in my career as a consultant.

I can't think of anything that actually fits this discroption. I think I am safe to say, that when I am really good at something I find pleasure in it and on the other hand, most things i find pleasure in I find a way to be good at it.

financial reporting. it is fundamental but still is an intermediary between the raw data and statistics and the actual decision making. it is in between the real life and insights. too standardised.
