TruthSpeaks Definition:
The result of intentional action that can be taught to others
Explanation:
If you have read Malcom Gladwell’s book Outliers, you know it takes 10,000 hours to become an expert. There are arguments to state differently however, I believe Gladwell was trying to get the world to notice the importance of skills. I have a favorite saying “who you know will get you the job but, who you know will eventually want to know what you know,” meaning your skill set will eventually have to be demonstrated. Skills don’t just happen overnight; it takes intentional practice and effort to get better at anything. I believe people can enhance their skills in less time than 10,000, I am not speaking of mastery. I am speaking of the idea of finding something you are interested in and study it until you understand it fully enough to teach it, to me that is a skill.
