12 Skills every successful person should learn
What
does it take to succeed? A positive attitude? Well, sure, but that’s hardly
enough. The Law of Attraction? The Secret? These ideas might act as spurs to
action, but without the action itself, they don’t do much.
Success,
however it’s defined, takes action, and taking good and appropriate action
takes skills. Some of these skills (not enough, though) are taught in school
(not well enough, either), others are taught on the job, and still others we
learn from general life experience.
Just
think about the most successful people in the world. Those who consistently
succeed are those who are best at learning new skills.
Successful
people make the commitment to dedicate their spare time in the pursuit of
learning (instead of vegging out in front of the television.) And they stick to
their promise of learning.
On countless occasions, you’ve likely said to
yourself “I wish I knew how to do ” Then, of course, life got in the way and
you put it off until you could find the time. Maybe you wanted to become fluent
in a language, learn a new instrument, start performing your house repairs, or
a master a myriad of other skills. With the vast amount of knowledge online,
you’re now your only excuse.but
my concern here is with the skills that translate across disciplines, the ones
that can be learned by anyone in any position...
Public Speaking:
The
ability to speak clearly, persuasively, and forcefully in front of an audience whether
an audience of 1 or of thousands is one of the most important skills anyone can
develop. People who are effective speakers come across as more comfortable with
themselves, more confident, and more attractive to be around. Being able to
speak effectively means you can sell anything – products, of course, but also
ideas, ideologies, worldviews. And yourself which means more opportunities for
career advancement, bigger clients, or business funding.
Repair Just About Anything:
Sure, you don’t need to repair anything anymore.
You can just pay someone else to do it. But where’s the ingenuity in that?
Plus, who wants to waste a bunch of money on simple tasks you can handle on
your own? If you’ve adopted the DIY spirit, learning to repair your own stuff
is one of the easiest and more rewarding skills you can acquire. It’s
especially fruitful because as you learn new things, you can put them to use
right away. So how do you teach yourself? We’ve outlined tons of repairs you
can learn on your own to get you started, but if you’re looking for something
specific there is no shortage of how-to videos available on YouTube and Video
Jug. You’ll find everything from home repairs to outdoor repairs, plumbing
repairs, and even electrical repairs. There will be occasions when you do need
to call a professional, as you’re not going to be a master repairman (or woman)
instantly, but do remember that there is an opportunity when things break: you
can learn how to fix them.
Creating and managing website:
You can outsource the management of your
websites, but it’s better to learn the basics yourself. Also study SEO (search
engine optimization), and learn how important it is to choose your words
carefully, how to structure your websites, and why getting linked to your sites
is important
Learn How to Draw:
Drawing is actually a basic skill that we were
all born with. While we have to be taught to read and write, people are
actually born with the natural ability to draw.
Drawing is essential for human survival because
it is a form of communication that everyone can understand, no matter what
language you speak. Toddlers begin drawing before they start to read or write
and continue to do it throughout life.
Take a drawing course that will have you drawing
like a professional in no time at all, and perfect your skill and express your
creativity with drawing.
Writing cursive:
Distinguish yourself from others by learning
proper handwriting. It’s soothing to look at beautifully penned script. Study
calligraphy.a person who is a master of the written word can expect doors to
open in just about every field.

Learn to Defend Yourself:
Who likes getting their ass kicked? Probably a
very small majority. If that’s what you’re into, it doesn’t require much
skill—just endurance. If you’d prefer to not end up hurt or injured as the
result of an unexpected attack, perhaps it’s time to pick up some self-defense
skills. While you’ll probably want to have a partner around to help you out—at
least when you want to test your skill—we’ve outlined several self-defense
moves that you can learn on your own. Although you will hopefully never need to
actually employ the techniques you acquire, if you do you’ll increase your
chances of coming out of a fight unharmed. Plus, it’s pretty cool to walk
around with the confidence of being able to take on most anyone in a fight.
Self-Management:
If success depends on effective action,
effective action depends on the ability to focus your attention where it is
needed most, when it is needed most. Strong organizational skills, effective
productivity habits, and a strong sense of discipline are needed to keep
yourself on track.
Communicating with people:
Showing genuine interest in other people will
earn their respect and attention. Learn to be modest, and don’t show off. Guys
should be gentlemanly. Be kind to everyone. Respect everyone. Make others feel
important.
Pick Up Just About Any Subject:
Whether it’s science, finance, math, humanities,
law, or anything else, if there’s a course you wish you took in college you’re
not out of luck—you can probably find it online. To help you out, we’ve rounded
up every great source of online education so you can gain that knowledge you
missed. What’s great about learning online is that you can take it at your own
pace and put in as much time as you can spare each day. You don’t necessarily
have to master a subject, either, but learn as much as you need or want to
know. While you won’t end up with a degree for your hard work, you will be a
little bit smarter—and that’s the most important part.
Decision-Making:
The bridge that leads from analysis to action is
effective decision-making – knowing what to do based on the information
available. While not being critical can be dangerous, so too can over-analyzing,
or waiting for more information before making a decision. Being able to take in
the scene and respond quickly and effectively is what separates the doers from
the wannabes.
Research:
Nobody can be expected to know everything, or
even a tiny fraction of everything. Even within your field, chances are there’s
far more that you don’t know than you do know. You don’t have to know
everything – but you should be able to quickly and painlessly find out what you
need to know. That means learning to use the Internet effectively, learning to
use a library, learning to read productively, and learning how to leverage your
network of contacts – and what kinds of research are going to work best in any
given situation.
Learn to Cook Like a PRO:
Having the skill of cooking well will help you
out for your entire life.First, you will be able to know what is going
into your food and therefore what is going into your body. You can control how
much fat and salt goes into your dishes to create a healthy diet for yourself

them over for dinner, even if you just make something simple. Lastly, you will
