A short YouTube video (speaker: Asif Osman) presenting a concise professional tip: perseverance is the single most important skill to develop. The speaker recounts finding the answer on Quora and defines perseverance as repeatedly trying and not giving up, and offers it as a 'thought for the day.'
Hi, this is Asif Osman. And here I am once again with a thought that I'd like to share with you. I'm sure if you're like me, you must have been asked at some point or the other, what is the number one skill a professional should have? And it's. It's really tough to pinpoint one particular skill. And I was asked this recently, once again, after a long time, and I thought to myself, let me Google it for a change. Go to the old expert, google.com. and this time when I googled it, I found something interesting. It was on this website called Quora. I'm sure some of you have heard of it or used it. And the question was asked, what's the number one skill that one should try to acquire? And the person who answered said one word, perseverance. Now, I've given it some thought and I tend to agree. If there's a skill that you can develop and that one single skill, you work on it on a regular basis, that would have to be perseverance. Now, what exactly is perseverance? In other words, words. In plain English, it would mean trying again and again. Trying and not giving up. Trying again and again and not giving up. Keep at it. So if someone were to ask this question, I think you better give it a big thought before saying anything other than perseverance. So that's the thought for the day.
If these are God's chosen people then God chose them to test the rest of us.
