Every individual has some unique abilities deposited within him or her. These abilities lie dormant until they are given a definite assignment and by constant use, are developed into skills. Skill is the ability to control a situation with an available resource to achieve a desired objective. It is that problem that you, and only you, knows how to solve best.
