Weekly Quote 🦉

I would say that the five most important skills are reading, writing, arithmetic, and then as you’re adding in, persuasion, which is talking. And then, finally, I would add computer programming just because it’s an applied form of arithmetic that gets you so much leverage for free in any domain you operate in.If you’re good with computers, if you’re good at basic mathematics, if you’re good at writing, if you’re good at speaking, and if you like reading, you’re set for life.
