 |  Skills you would like to develop
What are the skills that you would like to develop, whether today or a several years from now? Could be anything from knowing how to play a musical instrument, to understanding people better, or being able to draw. |

Now, I would love to develop my financial analysis skills even further for work. I am looking to change jobs and this would help me become much more marketable in the field I'm in now. However, in the future, I would love to get back to making art. This was my pride and joy when I was younger but because I come from a traditional family, I pretty much had to choose from medicine, finance, law, or engineering for my career. I see myself working in finance temporarily but going back to the things I truly love in the future, whenever I choose to say peace out to that industry. Another skill to develop...pilates. Again, another guilty pleasure. You asked a good question though. I am realizing now that I don't really know what other skills I would like to focus on. Isn't that awful? I am so distracted with life that I haven't thought about something that others would consider fundamental. Thank you for your post, Ceros. |

I recently read and wrote about how bilingual people have different personalities when they speak the different languages they know. So the newest skill I am planning to develop is a second language...French I think.

Patience! I know it's not really a "skill"...but this is where I struggle most in life!
