On our journey through we life, we pick up new skills as we go. Sometimes it’s out of necessity, and at other times, it’s out of interest. The new skills we develop expand our repertoire of knowledge and abilities–giving us more confidence in what we can do and bring to the world.
Some of the skills we develop have nothing to do with what we majored in at college or what we do for work. It could be a hobby, such as gardening, or something essential, like cooking. The skills could even be things that we’re not even aware of, such as how to fix/repair something in the house/car, or making monthly/yearly spending budgets on the computer.
To develop our new skills, we can watch tutorial videos, read articles and books, or we might go as far as to take classes on them. But the best way to learn is by doing. Whether if the skill we’re learning is painting, writing, or a new language, we have to be engaged in the process–practice what we know (no matter how little it might be) so that we can improve and gain experience.
