6 superficial skills that are worth exploring each

A man who knows how to float, and the person is not able to swim. What is the difference?

Oh, the difference may be at the cost of human life!

Skill №1: Swimming

Yes, the inability to swim could end tragically, but it's not the same.

All of you have seen the sea of ​​people who come to their knees and stand. Then go terribly, not to plunge into the heat - also impossible. And so they are. Why deprive yourself of the pleasure of bathing?

The more that learn to swim bearable (or at least float) can be just a couple of weeks.

I myself learned to swim very late - in 20 years. But I'm not a bit sorry for those few classes with an instructor. It was as if a mountain had fallen from my shoulders. Over time, this skill only got stronger, even though I did not train him specifically.

Skill №2: English

Now I am in Thailand. Here, as nowhere else, you feel advantages of proficiency in English. Moreover, it is sufficient to own it at a basic level, because the local population knows only the basics.

English is an international language. It allows you to not get lost in any country of the world.

Learn English, you can start in a couple of months (usually only need to remember the school course).

Skill №3: Computer literacy

Yes, teapots on Layfhakere there, but we all have those friends or relatives.

Find the right information on Google, see the weather forecast or check the departure time of the aircraft - these and other simple they can not do the task.

What were unsuited to the life they look!

Always on the side of the road of progress, always feel uncomfortable.

To understand what a computer where "taken" Internet, where files are stored and how to protect your computer from viruses - just. Books for beginners complete. It is a pity that few people read them. But read this book and "clicked all" all the examples will not take more than a month.

Skill №4: OBZH

This skill may be the most important in life. You never know when you will need to provide first aid. The events in Ukraine show that street fighting can begin even in a civilized country.

What to do if you break a leg? What if the blood gushing from the wound on his head? What if you fell near a gas grenade?

Even in peacetime, household injuries has not been canceled: burns, sunstroke, bruises... and reckless on the roads, which maim themselves and others?

Yes, we have studied the subject of life safety in the school, many times "on paper" be instructed in other places, but in reality no one knows anything. And the answer to any one PE - panic.

We need to find a few hours of time and read a couple of books on the subject. To raise their level of awareness, educate children. Of course, the theory is a theory, but it is much better than the absolute "grayness" in this issue.

I have to admit I do not feature in this do not understand. Had that serious, I'll be very sorry to rush back and forth.

Perhaps our readers in the comments prompt a good book or a course? Thanks in advance!

Skill №5: The knowledge of the digestion

We - what we eat. Meal - an important part of a healthy life.

Most, however, feeds on chaotic and isolated. I am convinced that they just do not have enough information.

After all, the average person knows about nutrition?

• of the digestive organs
• the role of saliva in digestion and mastication
• of product compatibility
• about digestion time
• about the different types of products
• a typical digestive diseases and their symptoms
• the process zhiroobrazovaniya

NOTHING.

This not normal.

Read any book on a balanced diet. Yes, these books are often written for fat people, but have to eat everything. Even thin.

And how our children eat? Just look at what dishes usually go to a restaurant in the "Children's Menu": french fries, hamburgers, cola, ice cream and fried in deep fat meat!

Take a few tens of hours on this skill, and your life and your family life will be much healthier. You'll have more fun and good food.

Skill №6: people skills

"Man, by nature - a social animal." Everything we do, all of our goals, one way or another connected with the people.

Many people, especially young people, in the hit sophisticated techniques, such as hypnosis or NLP. Funny to see a young man who tries to you "mirror your" to perform tuning, but it makes it so clumsily that causes only a smile.

The problem is that the mastery of hypnosis or NLP requires many years of study and training.

There are easier ways to keep warm atmosphere in the family, to make friends or to resolve conflicts.

I would recommend all three books:

• Classics Dale Carnegie.
• Stephen Covey, and more specifically, №4 skills, №5 and №6 «The 7 Habits."
• "Never eat alone," Keith Ferrazzi.

All these books are based on common sense and kindness to the people, but because I'm not ashamed to recommend them.

After reading them for a couple of evenings, you can not become a great manipulator (and is it necessary?), But your life will be much happier.
