A skill is the learned capacity to carry out pre-determined results often with the minimum outlay of time, energy, or both. Skills can often be divided into domain-general and domain-specific skills. For example, in the domain of work, some general skills would include time management, teamwork and leadership, self motivation and others, whereas domain-specific skills would be useful only for a certain job. Skill usually requires certain environmental stimuli and situations to assess the level of skill being shown and used.

People need a broad range of skills in order to contribute to a modern economy and take their place in the technological society of the twenty-first century. An ASTD study showed that through technology, the workplace is changing, and so are the skills that employees must have to be able to change with it. The study identified 16 basic skills (Carnevale, 1990) that the workplace of the future would need in the employee of the future.

How to develop good english writing skill?
Q. I am go throughing the newspaper regularly. Is it enough for developing speaking skill. How to develop good writing skill? Since my aspiration is to be as Journalist?

A. Reading the newspaper regularly should help your reading skill, but it's not likely to help you learn to speak English. You need to have someone with whom to speak English. To develop writing skill, you need to practice writing with the help of someone who can show you the common English writing patterns. Most folks need to have someone point out the elements of common English patterns for a paragraph before they can master reading or writing non-fiction.
