The skills I find to be the most important in life and education are the following, and why they are important. Organization is a very important skill to have. It allows you to be more efficient and get more work done in less time. You’re able to find things that you want, it also helps when you want to impress someone. Time Management is the ability to separate the important from the unimportant, which is a much needed skill in all walks of life, especially where there are ever increasing opportunities and distractions. Problem- solving is where we all have to make decisions. Whether you 're a student, a parent, a businessperson, or the president of the United States, you face problems every day that need solving. Relationship networking in a world dominated by constant innovation and information exchange, relationship networking creates the channel through which ideas and information flow, and in which new ideas are shared, discussed and perfected. A large relationship network, carefully cultivated, can be leveraged to meet the right people, find jobs, build businesses, learn about new trends, spread ideas, etc. Self- Discipline is the ability to focus and overcome distractions. It involves acting according to what you think instead of how you feel in the moment. It often requires sacrificing the pleasure and thrill for what matters most in life. Therefore it is self-discipline that drives you to succeed in the long-term. In my life I believe that I have most of the skills I listed above. Organization is one that in my life has helped me so much. When I was younger my mom always kept a clean and organized home. I believe that’s where I get a lot of organization from. As of right now I am in school and also have a full-time job. With going in so many directions I have to keep organized when it comes

    Another skill that can be altered is my ability to work in groups if needed. I am a self starter and prefer to work alone on projects but I am more than capable of working with others on big projects. I am opinionated especially when it comes to a group project where my job may be on the line. All in all there are many skills that could be changed and or altered depending on the professional career direction that I consider to go in.…

    While all of the different skills that was discussed earlier would help me in my dream career, however there is a unique skill that will benefit more than the other is revision. Being a photographer the power of revision may be one of the most important skill. The photographer will need to constantly review their piece of work and try to improve on what that was wrong, if they do not revise on what was wrong then they will not understand the meaning of success. Photographer will need to know why they are doing the same mistakes over and over again so they can avoid it, especially when turning the final product. With the revision the photographer will be able to continue to learn what is needed to be done to get the best result that they want,…

    The personal skills I have are being responsible, honesty and respectfulness. I am responsible by being to each class and getting my homework done on time. I am honest by always telling the truth even if it means that I would get into trouble. It wouldn’t be right if I lied to someone and someone else got in trouble if they didn’t do anything. I am also respectful by not saying negative things about my class mate’s ideas and giving them a chance on what they want to say. These are my personal skills.…

    I find that my strengths include achievement motivation,school engagement, and reading for pleasure. I'm strong in these areas because I'm a naturally competitive person and find the need to compete with myself to do better then how I did before. My school engagement is because I have a natural interest and enthusiasm for learning new topics. Reading is a strength because it helps me understand people better, it allows me to look into the world and mind of someone new and get and understanding of why they are doing what they are doing. Although I hold these strengths I am most definitely not a perfect…

    I have few talents that will help me in the pursue of my dreams. Organization is one of those talents, since I was very little, I was very organize, and methodic. Problem solver is another talent that I have, when there is a problem, I’m the first one to analyze and try to find possible solutions. Last but not least, being self sufficient is another of my strongholds, if there is no help; I always find the ways to resolve the problems on my own.…

    It seems in the society we live in today, having a college degree is a necessity. Years ago it was the norm for people to just go right into a full time job after high school, if they even finished high school; they did this to support their families. In today's society a person has a difficult time getting a decent job without a college degree. During an adults working life, bachelor degree graduates will earn about $2.1 million and a high school graduate can expect to earn an average of $1.2 million (Day and Newburger, 2002). This is quite a difference and it puts a college education in perspective. With college come the skills needed to be successful.…
