Topic: Is skill key to success! - page 2. (Read 375 times)

Yes, the world has evolved to a point where education is not just what tends to make you outstanding or more successful. There are millions of people who graduates from same professions every year where as it is certain that the job opportunities for that particular profession can not meet up the number of laborers on that field so how are they meant to survive, this is where skill hops in either doing it independently becoming self employed or attaching it to one's certificate making a entirely positive difference from others giving a first choice acceptance in any job opportunity.

You need to be lucky also. Any successful person needs to be good at something but every person good at something can't be successful, So there is luck also that plays a vital role. You have to be there to grab the opportunity to make you skill work in the most efficient way.

I say is not always skills but rather knowledge that benefits because this is the reason why people don't hit any dead end because they know exactly what they are doing based on what they have learned from others and also have read from different stories. while skills will not gonna make you successful forever because it has an expiration and most of the time, you are replaceable by someone more skillful than you. But when you have proper knowledge on how to be successful, your job doesn't matter to you as long as you are living the way you want by having the peaceful life that others are dreaming of while they are a millionaire because of their skills.

Everyone has their own definition for success. It might be financial freedom, being richer than the next guy, for some it's power over other people, or being accepted, getting a job, being able to keep up daily routines, or writing a book, being famous, having a loving family. having a trophy wife, or for some it might be maintaining your spiritual values, being proud of what you do.

But let's say that in this case success means performing good at your work:

It's a combination of various skills. You can be best on something very specific, but if you lack something else, like unability to work in a group, or if you have a narcissistic personality disorder, it can make a workplace too toxic for you to fit in.

You can have insanely high IQ, but at the same time you aren't really functional, because you have serious byproducts from disorders, like severe version of ADHD and autism. In where high IQ just helps you keep you not drowning and maintaining a lifestyle where you are able to.

It might even not be because of you. You are skillful and it's your toxic workplace that's the problem. Others might put you down, steal credit from your work etc.

But you definitely need skills to be able to go anywhere as, anything you do in life requires skills.

Success comes from luck. You must have seen in daily work that the laborer works the most, but they gets less money and those who work in AC or sit inside the heater room they get more money, then this success is due to luck, it is not due to hard work.

I am not saying that the person should do not work then money will come to him. But I mean that you see in your daily life the most richest people are not working.

When you say success is not possible without skills, it all depends on your definition of skills. If it is about professional skills, there are most rich people who has no no skill but became rich through smartness. But if your definition of skill is the maneuver for survival, we can say everyone such as skill as survival skills.

If is true that skills drive the word, you might be definitely one skill away from becoming wealthy who knows. There are alot of skills such as digital skills and more. Most skilful people do not lack money. But it doesn't take only skills to be successful, you need a touch of smartness. You have to be smart in order to apply your skill in a productive way.

Skills are more important than formal education and intelligence to succeed in life. Some recent studies show that lack of skills can have a significant negative impact on physical and mental health. Social skills are of immense importance in increasing the quality of academic life, excellence in professional life and happiness in family life. Regardless of the type of job you are looking for big or small you must keep up with the times and it requires skills.

Success in what exactly? Financial success or success in solving problems designed for a solver to solve? Talking of a problem solver, he/she needs to be uniquely talented (or so called skilled) in solving a particular problem better than anyone else. This is the important part of work humans are missing. They try to achieve success or solve problems with the wrong people and end up not succeeding in solving problems properly. So, people use the wrong solvers to solve problems & end up creating a messy and dysfunctional society. It's like part of a human body working together to make the whole body function properly, but imagine the hands are made to serve the roles of the legs while the eyes serve the role of ears, there will be serious problems for that body. Most likely the human won't walk properly and will be blind and deaf. The body will not succeed in this manner even if the whole parts are getting paid promptly and achieving financial success. This is basically how the world works today. Very little is based on merit even when they claim otherwise. Talented people aren't usually used for the right work, so the whole world becomes blind, deaf and dysfunctional. Ofcourse, money or the reward system is partly to blame for the mess. It attracts the wrong people to different roles/jobs. This wrong people are ready to cheat, bribe, decieve, kill, and do all manner of evil to get the jobs with attractive rewards. Maybe people should only get paid when they have actually succeeded in their works. For example, a cop may only get fully paid if the security situation in his area of responsibility is solved without issues. This should encourage them to work harder or get sacked, and competent/talented workers employed to bring success to the security situation.

In the world we are in today, for anyone to succeed you must have something that you very good at, the services that you can render to people and been paid after with, the world is moving out from what we use to know like learning in the field of work, is not like that anymore, you must have a skill accompanied with ideas if not you can never be taken serious, some multinational companies roll out vacancies of jobs but the problem is if you been called to duty, can you discharge you duty accordingly in respect to your position, theoretical era has gone, what we have now is practical dispensation, this skills helps individual too personal to attain success fast without being employed by any company.

Success is not possible without skill.  Skills are important for success in life.  Each person in the society is skilled at different tasks.  Skill should be accompanied by patience and a hard-working mindset.  It is not enough to be good at a job, but to reflect that skill by working hard.  Moreover, many unskilled people are also in various good positions, this is also a kind of mental skill, although it sounds very funny.

 Well there you go. You've answered your own question. For you to succeed in life, there has to be something you can offer, something that sets you apart and that's when you have a skill as it helps you to do whatever you are doing well.
You made mention of people not having to put too much work but find themselves in big positions in office as a skill, yeah that's true but something sets them apart from the one who has the talent and know how of that thing and you can tell from how they perform their duties. Today we see some half baked lawyers and doctors and what have yous in the society causing more harm than good simply because they didn't take out time to sharpen to work hard, I steady opting for the "smart" and  easy way out; sorting their way through school and if you check, they cant defend themselves when the going gets tough.
 For you to be good at something, you constantly work on it to perfect it and that becomes a skill, so instead of some individuals wasting their time perfecting the art of being lazy, always trying to cut corners, I feel the world would be much better if people spend their time bettering their ability to make the society a better one to live in.

Skills and success complement each other. Although the opposite situation can be observed in the case of somewhere. Skill is the undoubtedly crucial component to success. It enables individual to perform tasks effectively. However success often required a combination of various factors like determination, perseverance, opportunity,and somewhere luck. Skill lays the foundation.

Most of the person getting unskilled but they are staying better position in a society or organization. By using muscle power, money and corruption, many people have settled in the important position of the country.

I think it is also a skill what do you call it ? It's a combination of various attributes that often leads to success. Maybe its depend on their faith. But you have to keep trying for success.
