The very meaning of life is to find out how many skills you can acquire that have utility and then put that utility to the test in service of someone else.” Tom Bilyeu Skills trump talent every day of the week, 365 days of the year. When you think of the most talented musicians you know, they work harder than everyone else on their skills, their timing and their performance. When you think about the world’s most talented athletes, they’re busy practicing on their skills while mediocre players take breaks and need time to relax. When you think of the most talented people in business, they’ve honed their skills so well that you think they were born to do what they do and it’s a gift only they have. That’s the beauty about skills and being so ridiculously good at the skill you work on that people think it’s a natural talent or ability. This is why we say with confidence, choose skills over talent 100% of the time. There is always room for improvement and there is always room for the BEST.
