Topic: Passion for skills. - page 8. (Read 958 times)

I try the knack for social media you know the art of making posts pop and trends trend. I do it to help businesses shine online, telling their story in a way that hooks people and keeps them scrolling for more. It's like being a digital storyteller and i am still learing a lot

I do Fashion designing outside the forum, I am not yet a complete professional, but I am earning a little from it by making simple designs for ladies. The reason I picked it is because I like to look nice, and have been dealt with by other fasion designers in the past so I decided to learn the skill so I can make my own dress, and for some of my family members, and then also  earn from it by making dresses for other people who will like my work. My earning from this skill is not always now, but it will improve with time, and I believe that from there also, I will be able to earn enough to DCA more into bitcoins.

For the skills that I am learning to be able to go deeper in the crypto or blockchain industry, but I am more interested in community management, in other areas I am also learning to apply time management and money management because I feel that I am not good at doing that.

In addition, language, especially in English, because it is the basic language to be able to communicate internationally, and I also see that some people have good abilities but they don't have the language to get a bigger salary abroad, because in my country, the salary standard is still relatively small, also when we have a business it is easy to do marketing and also get investors from outside so that our business can invade or marketing becomes wider.

I actually have an interest with graphic design or something that involves designing, including web design. I took some online courses but tbh  never finish any of it. Probably because I have other priorities like my studies when I started getting interested. And now, I'm currently working which makes me have lesser time. Since my current field of work is not related to the passion I want to pursue, tho I chose my major because of practicality and interest as well. I find it hard to put time on learning, or expanding my background and skills in designing. Also I feel like it's hard to learn on my own when I have no background at all, and I think it would be easier if someone is teaching me, especially with the basics in designing and the use of softwares. Tho it's also on me that I'm kinda lazy that's why I have excuses. But I feel like, the field of design also have great opportunities once I acquired the skills to market myself. So I'm still kinda lost whether to continue on the field I'm in right now or spend another time building skills for my other passion.

I would like to learn how to cook, I came from place where there are thousands of cuisine but my cooking skill is very limited, and I really regret that. I don't have the time to learn cooking because I need to work and to make money, not that I didn't love my job, I like it too. The only skills that allow me to get money to fulfill my need is my job as graphic designer, it's getting harder nowadays because we have instant design app and AI, but I still manage fortunately.

I think aside of all the technical skills that we can learn in like a course or education, there are also other skills like social skills or soft-skills, that we learn by socializing and learning from experience, either our own experience or other people's experiences. This social skills or soft-skill will help us reach more people and market ourself.

Seek knowledge and then transfer it to skills. Nothing beats that. It may not pay you immediately but over time with consistency you will reap from it. That was my mindset a few years ago. That's still my mindset now. The sad thing is that many people want immediate gratification and wouldn't want to continue with what gives them joy and fulfilment even when it hasn't started bringing in ROI/cash. One should've a long term projection and evaluation of the type of skills one wants to acquire, take stock of those who are into it and evaluate their lifestyles if their engagements are sustaining them or not.

I'm an online trader. I'm very happy I took that decision a few years ago. Nothing beats the feeling of making money from the comfort of one's home. I encourage everyone here to go into skill acquisition. Paper certificate won't guarantee putting food on anyone's table but skills will do just that almost effortlessly. I speak from the experience of the situation in my country. Paper certificate is almost a cliché now.

For those who find trading difficult or think it's gambling, they can try acquiring trending and future sustaining skills in Blockchain, Artificial intelligence, Cloud Computing, Software Development, Digital Marketing or Programming. Any of these will still be in vogue a few decades to come. Don't dull on it.

I am still thinking and distracted on which kind of skill I should learn and upgrade. I like technology nowadays but it seems that there's a lot of competition there and it's going to stay for long.

But with the newer technologies that has only a low number of associates, I think that I'll dive there. So, I'm thinking of any upgrade with related to tech like in SaaS, PaaS and IaaS.

I dunno but I am just starting out and when I am distracted, maybe it's just like in the beginning and then it will make my interest gone too soon.

Having a skill is a very important but what's more important is knowledge how to use your skill for a good course. one could learn a skill and be the best that he can in his field yet wouldn't make a good profit or succeed in his area or skill because he lacks the basic knowledge. just Hawlet said above there are many attributes that contribute to ones success in any business and those attributes should be put in place first.

Although for me I have a skill that I'm striving to become more perfect in it that even the best of the best would have some things to learn from me. Right now, the world is in a stage where people what's freedom and that's exactly what I wanted from the onset so choose a skill that will never lead me to being employed by someone else rather I will have to employ others to work for me.

Additionally, one can live off the physical skill life with the internet though we still consider them as skills but they aren't physically remote jobs. like content creation, graphics design, software development etc this are skills too but are not like the physical skills that we acquire. One can hold onto them and live the best of live with them.

One thing about learning of skills is to go into that skill that is the current and future trend. Most things that has to do with analogue are gone so we can't keep learning things that are old fashioned in a modern day society and of course we know that the skill we know is how much traffic that we can generate to ourselves and that cumulate into cash and how we can grow with the economy.

Learning of skills today is to learn certain types of skills that is in line with digital and technology because that is the age we are so that we don't still remain redundant after we have paid money learning such outdated "skills". So doing a research before going into any skill is more profitable. Like if you have a skill that is blockchain base or cryptography etc then you can be certain to get huge patronage.

Skill is a very essential thing in our life because we need to enhanced our living and most times it often turns to our professionalism because whatever thing we do out there that is bringing food to our table in a constant and a regular basis has automatically turned into our profession (hand work), people don't just need to learn but to use it as an alternatives to what has been putting food on our table we can have lots of skills but the ones we put more efforts in learning them often bring us great benefits in terms to come while those we took so serious or even go through educational system might not create that chance for us to start earning living through them therefore, the next alternatives could be the skills acquired when not in school or after educations.

it's no doubt that the world has gone to a stage where your relevant in your work space is totally  a function of the quality of your skill set.

Apart from gaining mastery at a particular skill,  their are lots of other skill one should learn as complementary skills that helps you to balance well in your workplace. Those complementary skills may include writing skill, communication, interpersonal relationship and basic computing. Every person should learn have these skills so as to thrive well in any industry he/she finds himself.

For me, I have developed a combination of these key fundamental skills and they all contribute in making my core skill, product design, easy for me. As a matter of fact, while learning product design as an intern with a firm, what helped my most is my ability to run normal research on my own and which I latter discover was helpful in the industry. I had prior knowledge on graphics before ever starting my product design journey and this is what also helped me to effectively go about gaining mastery in how to effectively design a good user interface.

What I'm saying in essence is that apart from striving to become a master at a particular skill, ensure you learn other skills also as they will complement the core skill you're practicing. Their are cases where in event that a particular company you are working for want to drop some of her workers, it is the additional skills that you have that makes you more useful in the organisation that will make them decide to keep you or not.

One thing I am quite confident in is my skills in writing

I am constantly learning and trying to improve and now I think I am finally putting my writing into good use I have written essays, reviews, short stories, and even scripts (only very small projects of course) I am also quite passionate about writing and it is something I truly enjoy and might be a career option for me but right now just making money on the side with little side projects is what I have been doing

Hey people.

So just for fun and a little bit of insights for people who aren't into any skills yet, I created this thread. It can also serve as a means of motivation for those who haven't started learning any skills yet.

So, we all know how important skills are not only on an individual basis but also on that of the economy, and many of us without doubt are either in the process of learning or already earning from skills. Needless to say, many global brands started as a result of skills learned and used to benefit people. The creators of Adidas,  puma, Coca-Cola, Microsoft, and even sports professionals, etc all learned and practiced their skills more than enough to become the best of the best.

So, my question is very simple. What skills are you currently learning or have learned and are earning from, and what is the reason why you picked it?
