Okay, if you would like to speak about the skills that I have learned lately, I think it's patience and acceptance of your current situation or what I can say, your destiny. Sometimes you should stop fighting what is not under your control. How I learned these skills is from my life experience, whether in my personal life or from work experience. Sometimes fighting and pushing things toward a certain destination is not a solution. Sometimes you need to let it go without any fight, and you should wait for the results. Patience is the most important skill I have developed during my life. I didn't decide to learn it; I just felt I had to be that. It's the only survival method I could take. That's all.
