I have an uncle, who is a lawyer. Early this year he decided to learn tailor and shoe maker, honestly it was very funny when he told us his mind, we all took it as a joke, but today as am talking to you, he has finished learning the 2 skill. Last month he rented a shop at Ikeja where he wants to open a boutique, he said the skill he acquired this year was what gave him the confidence to open a business.

I also have a friend who is a Factory Worker, and a part-time student of O.O.U. Studying Business Admin. Last year he spared some of his time to learn GSM Engineer, he use to go to ikeja from ketu to go and learn how to repair phones. whenever he's on night duty, cos the factory where he works do observe shifting, that is, one week morning duty, one week night. whenever he's on night duty he will go and learn how to repair phones. Today he has stopped working in the factory, he now has a shop, he collect phones from all corners everyday, both from school mates, fellow factory workers and new people also, he now has time for his studies too.

It is Good to acquire a skill no matter your qualification.

I planned a lot for myself earlier in the year
I vowed to perfect my swimming skills but after drinking so much water in the deep end of the pool,I got really scared.I mean very scared.
I also vowed,in fact I swore that I must be very good at speaking and writing the French languague but look at me now.The only French word I can remember now is j'taime......
The only compensation for me are the underlisted skills that I got this year

1.SAP Solution Manager installation n config

2.Solman ITSM incident mgt config and admin

3.Project mgt (PMI)

4.Patience n Empathy in teaching others

These skiils compliment other skills I have.

Abeg oo,Make una help me na, teach me this french language

Swimming remains on full suspension till people stop drowning.

Thank you

Contumely: @OP. You have succeeded in wasting precious time on balderdash and baloney that you erroneously term skill acquisition.
The axiom that no knowledge is a waste is misleading. I learnt Pitman Shorthand while in high school and was unarguably the best student of it in our set. But I have never had cause to use that knowledge. So many other cases abound.
=

You are a lawyer and you learnt programming too, the possibility of your using that knowledge is minute.
=
I disagree on the jimoh Ibrahim et al example too, what determines success in life is not just hardwork and talent alone. A lot is owed to luck and serendipity too.

Osita Chidoka became the head of Road Safety simply because of sheer luck and adventitiousness.

I'm very much using my programming and networking skill because I own a Public Relations {PR}/media firm which absolutely needs them on a daily basis.

Short hand is very productive if you find yourself in the right place. As a human capital/Resource consultant and career coach I've had proposals from multinational companies and agencies whereby one of the most outstanding requirements they need from applicants especially to fill in commercial portfolios is a formidable knowledge in shorthand. So my dear, no knowledge is a waste. I know of so many doctors who are also experts in ICT. As a lawyer, I have a poultry farm and fish ponds, a skill I acquired in my university days.

Moreover, I agree with you that we need luck to succeed. But any man who sits at home, folds his hands and wait for luck to knock at his door is a multinational fool and will die a failure.

safarigirl: Thanks to ASUU strike, my love for the Super Eagles has increased and my interest in football has sky-rocketed, previously, I knew more on politics than sports, but now, I can say I know more on sports than most NL guys. I have basic knowledge with French having studied it in sec school (even wrote it in WAEC, got a C5- yes I'm bragging because e no easy, na only me credit French for my school), now I want to learn Spanish and German. I'm a writer so it's imperative that I delve into other languages so as to achieve variety. Apart from those, baking and preparation of confectionaries is a hobby of mine, so I took it upon myself to learn how to prepare samosa, chin-chin and some Indian recipes(na boredom cause am), plus I learnt how to make ankara jewellry. Omo, I don learn plenty things this year, ASUU ese o.
Did I hear you say politics miss, Im impressed,would be nice to meet you, you are probably different from other Nigerian girls
