Talk about learning skills

Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple, once said, "Connect the dots". The skill you are learning now may seem useless now, but at some point in the future, it can be connected with other points in your life and play an unexpected role.

Maybe now you feel that way. Why didn't I learn this course well, why didn't I practice calligraphy well, why didn't I know the use of computers well ... many things that we hated before and didn't want to do, but now we urgently need them.

I have a friend who didn't find his real goal in college for four years, but he persisted for four years and accumulated a lot of skills. Entering the society, because I dabble in a lot, I stand out in the interview. At that time, many people interviewed were from famous universities, and one of them was a returnee, but in the end my friend chose him because of his skills. Fortunately, at one meeting, the boss asked them to record the meeting with a software. Everyone in their group is dumbfounded except him, and no one can use it, which means no one can record the meeting. At this time, the boss changed his face. Coincidentally, my friend studied and used it in college, but he was not very proficient. Nevertheless, he volunteered and successfully recorded the whole meeting, and his boss appreciated him very much. As a result, he was promoted. Later I asked him, "Don't you panic? If you are not familiar with this software, you won't ... "He said with a smile," I have used all the skills I have learned before, and I know what my mastery of this skill can support me. "

At this time, there is another famous saying that suits you now. "The best time to plant a tree is ten years ago, followed by now." From your present point of view, the best time for you to learn skills is the past, but from your future point of view, your best learning opportunity is now. So, if you want to do it, do it immediately. If you don't want to do it, learn quickly. Don't let the future make you regret it. At the same time, what you study now broadens your future.
