there is a lot of information you can learn that loses much of its usefulness in a couple of years
i believe we focus too much on that kind of immediate knowledge and always forget
to explore skills that take a longer time to learn
and require more consistent practice but when you do master them they pay off forever because they
can be applied all the time and they have a true impact on how you're living your life so today we
are going to talk about eight skills that although they are hard to learn they do pay off forever
so first of all we have risk assessment and decision making this is one of those skills you
hear all the time in corporate environments but did you know you can actually learn and practice
how to assess many risks related to your life and how to make decisions based on that assessment
decisions are three different components a choice a preference and the information that
is available to you right now without all three different components a decision cannot be made
there is so much to learn about how to identify risks how to analyze them
as well as assessing the kind of impact they can have on your life so studying risk assessment and
management can help you understand how a certain decision just i i chestered

studying risk assessment and management really helps you understand the full
scope of a problem before a decision can be made and that can be beneficial both
in personal related situations as well as work or business related situations
skill number two is self-analysis self-analysis is the ability to explore and investigate your
own personal thoughts emotions and behavior although it may occur non-consciously
developing the habit of pursuing this on a regular basis can help you in a lot of different contexts
as you consider your own thoughts and self-examine your motivation you can better get a grasp
on yourself understands where do you actually want to be and how do you act the way you act
this basically helps you make better decisions create new boundaries as well as think about
life goals maybe you never had the courage to think about before overall this also helps you
learn more about yourself instead of jumping into the crowd and do whatever everyone else is doing
skill number three is public speaking and this one is hard guys if you're a shy person public
speaking is hell for me it's one of the hardest things to do especially if it's in some sort of
academic environment however i can tell you from personal experience that practicing this
and trying to develop public speaking as much as possible really goes a long way in so many
different settings from your work performance to the kind of opportunities you end up embracing
the way you present yourself and how you speak your own ideas out loud does so much for you and
it's also that kind of skill that you can learn on your own by practicing putting yourself out there
and reading the correct staple textbooks managing your time is managing your life it takes some time
to understand how you can manage your calendar better and it also requires some readjusting after
all our life is constantly changing and with it so do our priorities our projects and our routines
however learning how you can schedule prioritize and organize tasks take into account your values
your priorities as well as your energy levels will have such a big impact in your lifestyle and the
quality of your life you'll have way more time in the day and you'll feel so much more accomplished
and fulfilled overall then we have personal finances and accounting basics the way you
manage your personal finances and your knowledge of accounting credits the financial system and so
on can literally make or break your life knowing more about personal finances and the way you can
manage and organize your money can open so many new doors for you really help you understand your
priorities in life and overall achieve a way more balanced lifestyle also because you're getting a
new perspective on how you're spending your money you're also allowing yourself to know yourself
a little bit better and to reorganize your life and your life goals accordingly
then we have self-suiting not everyone has access to good mental health care or a supportive system
that allows you to seek help whenever you need and if you do have good mental health
care or support system you never know when something like that can be taken away from you
so learning how to identify and manage your emotions through specific techniques
can really help you overcome some stronger emotions as they're happening
positive psychology basically recommends you to create this self-soothing toolkit
that can be composed of different things different exercises for instance breath work
knowing when to change your environment self-reflection and prompting journaling
those are all things that can help you manage difficult emotions in certain times in your life
then we have metal learning there are a lot of different specific skills you can learn but if you
don't know how to learn then you'll never be able to explore those skills to their maximum potential
meta learning is basically the science of understanding how your brain memorizes information
and then the kind of mechanisms your brain uses to retrieve that information
there are so many skills to learn regarding meta-learning in specific but for instance time
management energy management as well as things like space repetition and the techniques you
use to take your notes are all relevant things to learn if you want to ensure that you're optimizing
your whole learning journey and finally we have basic legal skills it's important to know your
rights and in many schools colleges and courses you'll never be able to actually learn this
as a former law student and someone who currently works in the legal field i sometimes forget that
some of the things that i know of and i kind of take for granted aren't usually common knowledge
okay so basically knowing your rights as a consumer as a worker and as a homeowner
are just basic things you need to learn asap because they'll come in handy in so many different
situations and what you're seeing right now on your screen is a snippet of a full length video
