16 Skills That Are Hard To Learn But Will Pay Off Forever

[@BrainyDose]

Thanks for watching! Which of these skills do you think is the most important? and which do you need to brush up on some more?

[@mrmadd9758]

I’ve got and learnt all these 16 skills but they do not improve your life and #16 is the hardest which I’m still learning. When you have learnt these skills you will soon realise that it is all BS and means absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of things. Those skills don’t make you successful, content or happier and if anything make your life harder and more complicated. (I’m speaking from experience) Here are five skills that are much harder to master but will give you a much better and healthier attitude towards yourself and the world. Patience, honesty, respect, resilience and compassion/understanding. If people learnt and mastered these skills instead of the predictable inept nature of the ones you mentioned, then we would have less deception and manipulation in the world.

[@sylvialeads555]

BRAINY DOSE, awesome video. People who have these skills, especially critical thinkers are rare, I've found. People who don't have these skills love to exaggerate and tease them and talk down to them. How can this be? Why? Nothing we own or no company is run without it. Let's appreciate and tolerate each other's differences. Everyone has talents and gifts that can be celebrated!

Other skills are: learn to meditate. Just 10 minutes a day will make a big difference in teaching your how to live in the here and now; exercise everyday.

I've already tried meditation for 5 minutes, but my mind cannot concentrate, I have a continuous stream of ideas that jump in all directions. After two weeks I quited it...till now :/

[@m17434]

@@freecreator6426 The key with meditation is to watch that continuous stream of ideas jumping in all directions. The longer you watch your mind go, "blah, blah, blah" the more you allow your mind to settle. That's meditation. I would recommend getting yourself a teacher to show you how to meditate in person. You can't learn meditation from a book or from a KZbin clip. I learnt to meditate by studying with Tibetan monks at a monastery in Scotland for five years. This is extreme, but there are countless of opportunities to learn the art of meditation. Another opportunity is to attend a Vipassana retreat, www.dipa.dhamma.org. Good luck!

I am legally blind, and there are some very specific skills that those who are either legally blind, or totally blind should know. Travel skills of many kinds, meaning either using a white cane, a guide dog, apps on your phone, or all of the above at the appropriate times. Also knowing technology skills such as a computer, iPhone, or the device. It is also incredibly important to be able to know how to use alternative techniques of blindness to do things such as daily living skills etc. The most important skill though is to know how to advocate for yourself. Meaning be able to explain to someone the kind of help that you need if it is needed, or to refuse that help in a firm but kind way. Knowing how to educate others about what you as a blind person or other blind people around you might need.

[@joannschuricht7222]

Another great skill is musical training-playing an instrument, singing or even just appreciation of classical music. It develops the brain , calms , and communicates emotion with everyone even babies, animals, and those suffering from dementia. Playing an instrument is the most beneficial , but an exposure to the blend of rhythm, melody, lyrics is an enriching part of life.

InnerPower, I’ll clarify what I mean by fearlessness. It’s not allowing fear or doubt to control your actions. It’s okay to acknowledge fear and understanding potential consequences of ones action or inaction, but if the goal is important enough (and good for you and your future) fearlessness will allow a person to take action regardless of how one feels. This is a skill I’ve had to work on a lot over the years and still am.

[@emilyragozzino2138]

Though it should be a requirement to learn, empathy is actually not something that everyone will or can have. People think it's a skill to learn but only other empathetic people may learn how to harness it better. Narcissists are those who lack empathy and will likely never have it in their lifetime. Sad, but true story. When people think they can change someone they may be disappointed to realize some people will never change. Cut your losses if you have someone in your life who lacks empathy and refuses to want it as a part of them. Surround yourself with empaths who want to grow and who aren't afraid of change (starting with you first) and you may have a healthier social structure to rely on.

The other hand is negotiation, since you must understand the situation before you venture into it. There are always at least two sides to consider in any situation.

I think that all these skills are important and nothing is hard to learn if we wanna change ourselves to be better persons in life. Only we can change the world if we change ourselves in the first place. Great video!

[@yousefmajednayef1987]

I think patience is a vital skill in life. I lack it, but always trying to improve as much as I can. I loved the video! Extremely useful!

Everyone has to be patience

I completely agree on all, though, I'm SO happy that I grew up in a multicultural home. My grandmother taught me Portuguese, my uncle taught me English (He's an English professor), and both of my parents spoke Italian all time! DO learn different skills and feel great about yourself in the present 😀 👍 🏞

[@mandiebigelow9809]

Good list! I would add learning to handle your emotions and/or that your emotions don't have to dictate your behavior

[@anniebe4992]

the point "keeping quiet when necessary" is part of that :)

[@charlenepatterson3742]

I failed at that recently. Damn Valentine's Day!

I LOVED this video! I never thought about these things before. I've cultivated most of them, and you're right. They absolutely come in handy. They help me to be more resilient, connect with people in an authentic way, maintain my integrity and self-sufficiency. Gratitude and living in the present moment, for example, allow me to experience joy. I'm also able to look at and focus what I have (vs what I don't have), and make any necessary adjustments in my thinking, perspective to get (or enjoy) what I desire. The one that I haven't done or rather really developed is learning a foreign language. I studied Spanish in school, but had no one to have conversation with, so ... It's a language that I'm actually interested in learning, though, to deepen and expand my research re: world history. Other skills that I would say is important to learn is self-reflection and self study. Re: language, I never thought about what you said about how learning another language expands our perspective. That's a really good point. Thanks again for this video. I'm definitely sharing!

"the best things in life are free, but that dosent mean you dont have to work hard to acquire them" actually, that's exactly what it means.

Great list. Tracking spending is a great one, many people struggle to budget properly and spend with their means, it's astonishing given the possible problems it can cause

This is probably one of the best videos I've ever watched!! Thank you, I am always amazed at the creativity and time God put into our brains!!

To be patient it is a skill.? To be calm it is a skill? To be persistent it is a skill? I don't know. I'm learning it. But it's hard.

[@noblejosher4185]

Priscilla Mendez it’s a skill

[@khalidhuwaishel2255]

If you could improve it, it’s a skill

[@vumeopower88]

Doubting yourself with I don't know is a skill too although that one might go SOUTH and it's not going to be good so best of luck and keep on learning OK !

[@drmoz43]

I agree with the additional suggestions.

In the old days those were called virtues and were a part of education and character development.

[@AntarChakma]

Thank you for anything I have learnt from it.

[@karmaisreal9094]

Good skills. I would say most of these skills fall under one umbrella: self esteem/confidence. Which is essence for being able to let’s say public speaking, better communication, etc

[@perry2102]

When I saw number 14 "Learning a new language", I realized that I was watching this video, without having unknown words. Awsome!!!

All construction skills are vital.. you will always have a job. Mechanical skills help ,fix your car or know whats wrong so you don`t get scammed. Fix your toilet-plumbers are $$$, fix your house, etc...

[@halcioncocaine2096]

If it's not your job don't bother 😉

[@kasarachipeter8816]

@@halcioncocaine2096 yep. One shouldn't do everything. Do your job , others do theirs. Then, world wealth circulates

learning to forgive and let go is a good skill to learn, hard to do but a freeing experience and healing.

Deep research produces quality videos - thanks. When not to talk and never give up, among others, are my weaknesses. Through reading, know that a humble attitude, be teachable, find the fun in everything, with patience, etc. do good.

[@mariacaceres9540]

Another skill that works well for me is placing myself in someone else's situation in order to grasp their reasoning and in doing so I can relate. This help me mediate while removing (many times) the emotional factor.

[@Vyjayanthi41]

Great list. Keeping your mouth shut when you are angry and being professional in communication are smart skills. Thank you for enlightening.

[@halcioncocaine2096]

Some people whilst angry couldn't keep their mouth shut🔗

How much better would our kids be prepared for life, if these 16 life lessons were the pillars of every high school curriculum? Virtually all of them could easily be intertwined into math, science, English/lit/foreign language, economics, history, etc.
