Misleading Single Skills
I frequently read leadership/business/success material. So often you will read an article that says something like “the one trait that all successful people possess”.
The thing is, I’ve read many different “single skill” articles. You could drive yourself batty trying to chase that one elusive “single skill”.
Sure, some people possess an extraordinary single skill that may seem to rocket them to success.
But most likely it took more than one skill.
Maybe learning to become as well rounded as you can is the closest thing we claim to a “single skill” that dictates success.
Learn special skills, but not to the exclusion of being well rounded.
