The Lost Art of Talking to Humans

What’s the most underrated life skill?

I think one of the most underrated life skills is simply knowing how to communicate.

Schools spend years teaching math and science—and yeah, that stuff is important. But, ummm… do you know how many incredibly smart people can solve a quadratic equation but can barely write a complete sentence, give a presentation, or hold a conversation without staring at their shoes?

I mean, congratulations! You found X! Apparently X has been missing since algebra class. Now try finding the words to explain what the heck you just did. Lol!

I don’t know… maybe I’m just an old fart. Which, well… I am. 😂 Or maybe I’m still holding a grudge against my high school algebra teacher. Ugh… Mrs. Barrons. 🙄 The Wicked Witch of 6th Period! 🧙‍♀️

Anyway, being able to write clearly, speak confidently, listen to people, and explain an idea so someone actually understands it will take you a long way in life.

Because sooner or later, you have to put the calculator down and talk to another human being. Just saying… 🤷
