I was researching team building activities and thought this one was really neat.  Most of us when we reach middle age have become "experts" at something in the world (not necessarily the greatest, but much more capable or knowledgable than the average person).  There are also tons of things that we are complete novices at (or wished we knew much, much more).  It could be fun to list one thing you DO know and one thing you DON'T know (but wished you did). 

For me: I DO know how to play drums.
I DON'T know anything about botany.  I have the opposite of a green thumb.

I DO know about graphic design and marketing communications.
I DON'T know any programming languages.

I appreciate where my career took me but I have always regretted not following the programmer's path.
