LIFE SKILLS

We are not all born competent, we develop competence as we go on in life. Yes we were not all born confident, we develop confidence. Eventually anything and everything can be learnt and mastered. You can be much better than you are now, just give yourself to something, live on purpose, develop competence!
In life, Success is intentional, we must deliberately make up our mind to succeed! Success is a journey...
Significance is a pursuit, we must refuse to be satisfied with the Status-Quo.
Yes, we can redefine the status quo and break off the glass ceiling that was placed on us by whoever did.
Men's opinion of you is never your potential.
You are capable of more than you know, yes life can be better. There's a better level, and its time to advance.
Aspire More!
Grow!
Increase!
We need to grow from being blessed to becoming a BLESSING!
Lately, I got thinking what new skill, or competence has been added to me? Skill is golden!
Develop the skills needed for life to be colorful.
Our lives can be better if we cultivate the right skills.
There is always a better way to get things done. At some point every organisation reviews their policies, method statements, they audit themselves and overhaul their system for better efficiency. So?
What has stopped us then from asking ourselves, what's not working and why? what do we need to change?
As we enter another half of the year won't it be timely to do private, personal review of our lives?


We must focus on being productive not just busy. We should have something to show for our pursuits
What is urgent may not be important.
Understand that priorities and time management is crucial to advancement in life.
We must learn to manage our time to do all we need to.
I think its time to find out the areas of your life that needs improvement. We need to develop more capacity!
God has given you room to prosper, develop productivity!

Organisation is another skill that we all need. Maybe we need to ask more effectively,
what should be done? when should it be done? who should do it? how should it be done?
I think when we get better organized, energy can be properly harnessed and maximized.
We need to learn to develop systems that will help us to become more effective and such should be peculiar to us.
Plan,
Organize yourself! We can all use the PDCA Cycle -Plan, Do, Control, and Act!

Do you know by getting organized, we could save for ourselves hours a day, and full weeks every year?

You know, one thing we can all do is THINK! Although it matters what , how and why you do so too. We can access our mind palace, and do critical thinking and information analysis.
Thinking is a skill that we must ALL develop.
We live in an information age. When you get information, we need to sort them and analyse them. I guess you know that what is important to you may not be important for another? So analyse and think critically!
Learn to critically think and analyse the information you receive.


When we think critically we can master the art of making logically informed decision making.
Decision making is knowing what to do... It is a skill in a world of so much options, choices and information
Take decisions that are good!
When we learn how to make decisions, we handle issues properly.
Every decision we make should be based on our core values, what we stand for, the very essence of our existence.

The society is governed by the constant exchange of money, so money is crucial and you need to know how to manage it. Probably, everyone needs to learn a bit of book keeping even to run our family.
Decide where you want your money to go, so that you do not start wondering where your money went.
Yes, we should be able to track every money that comes to our hand.
Someone said, we buy things we do not even need just to impress the people that are not even watching. Many times we do things just  to show we had arrived.
If you arrive too early, you will arrive too small! Hmmm! Daily I look for things to invest on, and multiply money.
Financial experts say it may be wise to invest a third of your income!



Talking is not cheap, and words can be of very great effect on others. Do you know that yesterday [June 28th, 2014] was exactly one hundred years in history after the world war was started by the young teenage assasin Gavrilo Princip, who fired the fatal shots at Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo, it took words to first spread the war all around, that led to the loss of great talents and unexplored potentials.
Most of the problems in the world today result from misunderstandings.
We should learn to Speak clearly, and become Good Listeners too.

Anything done well is the result of
persistency, consistency, and practice!

It had been said that, he listens well, who takes notes. This is why the lost art of Note taking should be re-visited!
Note taking is a skill that we must all develop!
Learn to write, go with notepads. "Learning to take notes effectively will help you improve your work habits and studies and to help you remember important information."
Someone said, "if you want to identify the most senior, knowledgeable people in an audience, look for the people who are taking notes and asking questions."

Everything can be learnt!

It takes discipline to develop your self Competence!
