Discussion questions.
1. Why are skills more important today than they were before?
Well, skills are very important. Because, modern life demands them.
Today professional atmosphere also looks for skills: like time management, decision making, multi-tasking and the like. The opposite was the case in the past. Life was less complicated, and work involved not much skills. So skills are more important today.
2. Do you think children can pick up certain skills much faster? If yes, why?
Of course, children are quicker in picking up skills.
It is primarily because they are highly receptive.
They are enthusiastic and interested.
As people grow older, the receptivity goes down, I believe.

3. What qualities one need to have to pick up a particular skill?
I think there are many. Most important quality is attitude.
Secondly, one should have enough patience, and finally the interest.

4. What are the major soft skills?
Soft skills as such are many. Some of them are: Communication skill,
time management skill, decision-making skill and so on.
5. Do you think better skill-sets make a person better in his life?
Yes, that is right, sir, I too think so. Because, in today’s fast paced life and working environment one needs to have some core and soft skills. They will make one perform better. Better performance, of course leads to better life.
