The dictionary defines skill as the proficiency, facility, or dexterity that is acquired or developed through training or experience. It also means having the ability to execute the fundamentals necessary to a particular task.
Acquiring skills is basic to reaching one's potential in life. That is why early schooling is so vital. The ability to read, write and study are keys that open one to the seeds of success available to all. The ability to effectively communicate and follow instructions is also critical for becoming successful. These fundamental skills can be developed with proper training and practice and should be a priority for everyone.
As we grow in the understanding of ourselves, we should begin to learn or recognize special areas of giftedness or unique talent. It is here that we should put emphasis on acquiring the additional skills that will allow us to maximize these gifts. Developing skills takes time - some can take a long time, even years. The important thing is to keep on gaining and strengthening your skills. Having good skills is like having a toolbox full of valuable tools which allows you to accomplish things.
"The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, while the soul of the diligent is
richly supplied." (Proverbs 13:4)
