Skills?

What skill do you possess? Skills based education is something that is not something uncommon, rather it has been around for years. Vocational education some may call it, but I think it is a type of education that can bring out the best from someone who is not a fan of books or rather 'general knowledge'.

Actually, a lot the so-called educated people do not really look high up upon people who have to 'hands-on' to earn a living. Technicians are somewhat like engineers, don't they? Somehow, engineers are the ones that are taking the credits for certain successful projects.


Engineer versus technician? Who is better? I do not know. As far as I know, engineers cannot do the things that the technicians are capable of. For instance, fixing, repairing and modifying certain products.

Technicians, on the other hand cannot comprehend certain new details of unfamiliar product. It is the engineers' job to explore the new and innovative products based upon the theories that have been studying through-out the years in universities. Engineers should come out with the master plan of how to make and break the product.

What I am trying to imply is that, you can be someone that is good or competent with your God-gifted abilities to 'create' and 'fix' things. Hence, you do not have to be someone you are not, trying to stuff all the so called 'needed for syllabus' knowledge into your mind.

Realize the type and quality if a person you are. Strive to be someone that you are capable of being among the best. Satisfaction will definitely set in when the job or task you do is really of your strength and interest.

Ask yourself again, are you the totally knowledge-based person only or do you feel that there is certain hidden potential within you in applying certain skills. No matter what, hard work and perseverance is to the utmost importance as the sayings goes;


Talent with energy makes you a king,
Energy without talent makes you a prince,
Talent without energy makes you a pauper.


Just bear in mind, education can come in various forms and it can happen at any given time. Do not give up until you find your true self.
