For the sake of this article, we’ll define the word “Skill” as such: “the ability to do something well”. “Well”, doesn’t necessarily mean professionally.

The moment I read and understood the following quote is the moment I knew I had to turn my life around and become a more skilled individual:

“The future belongs to those who learn more skills and combine them in creative ways.” ― Robert Greene, Mastery

Now imagine the scenario where you learn more than 100 skills in just 3 years.

  • How much more “successful” do you think you could be?
  • How many ways can you combine those in creative ways?

There are too many variables to do the accurate math on that, and frankly, that’s beyond the scope of this article, but there are way more than 100,000 possibilities!

A lot of times we can’t see how two or more skills may come together until we have acquired the knowledge.

And then one day you wake up and realize that by using a multitude of skills you’ve acquired over the years, you come up with a brilliant idea that could change your future forever.
