We grew up with a strong work ethic, so it’s no surprise that we take any project, assignment or job seriously. But, it’s not always hard work that makes us the best. Some people are just born with a natural ability to excel. From catching lobster to finding the best swimming holes, we have some special skills. Here are a few more things that we just do better than anyone else.
