Ppl always look over how who you are an individual meaning physicals and station in life factor into

:yeshrug:

You can get better but only marginally so
This is coming from someone who likes her...

Do you want to sit up and listen to Diane Rehm drone on about boring shyt in a super long work meeting?

Even if she tries to spice things up?

1000%

Especially when it comes to sharing, being unselfish/thinking about others, empathy.

a lot of ppl got anxiety, even if they get over it find out they got no idea how to do those things

I tend to agree with social skills > math in the way society is currently structured.


At the same time I think if everyone had basic statistics class w/ an emphasis on hypothesis testing we might not be in this current covid predicament :ehh:

Yeah social skills and communication skills are an indispensable part of getting ahead career wise.

You can be brilliant, but if you can’t market yourself and inspire confidence in others, it’s a wrap. I’ve gotten opportunities to do shyt just off who I knew. It’s a reality.

That having been said, financial literacy will make the difference between working for others for the rest of ur life or having others work for you.

It’s like an entirely different language my guy!

Social skills are certainly important, Idk if they are more important than math or even science because that depends on what situation you’re talking about

The world needs people with great Mathematic/Scientific minds more than we need great communicators in order to make technological advancements

As a person with social anxiety I struggle with this personally but thankfully I’m in a field (IT) where it’s not so much of a detriment to me. But I certainly have a hard time with developing close friends & relationships of all sorts so there’s a balance you have to weigh on all sides:yeshrug:

Both are equally important
Nah, he’s actually right. A person with great social skills and who is bad at math will usually do a lot better in life than some math nerd who can’t communicate with anyone.

All that fancy math after 8th grade with the letters and triangles - is pointless.

But I use adding, subtracting, and multiplication everyday.

If you plan on getting rich - then you better know your math.

Math is life.

The calculator app is life.

Also, knowing how to write an email is also important... mastery of the english language.... being persuasive thru written text.



I deal with squiggly Greek letters everyday. It's annoying but it has its purpose


:yeshrug:


But it's also important to know how to convey what that those squiggly letters mean to those who aren't fluent in that language

yeah op
I talked to 5 people yesterday and then another 2 today
I have 11 new friends :banderas:


Love me some foxy brown math


Take 5
Double it times 2
Extra point for one in a few
Especially for my man Devin
Now we got eleven
Triple it times three
Which is enough for another key

:lolbron:

Naw for maximum potential if you don't know solid math then you gonna stay getting finesse and lose money amongst other basic shyt you'd be oblivious too. Social skills can get you far but math is too crucial for high end potential earnings. They make fun of that nikka Mayweather for not knowing how to read but I can guarantee that boy know his math.:pachaha:

You have to have a minimum intelligence to carry your social skills far though

You can be a socially retarded mathematical genius and still go very far


Emotional intelligence can take you extremely far if you can channel it.

Been thinking about joining Toastmasters. I am in tech and I'm trying to decide of I want to continue the technical path or go into leadership or a solutions architect role. This will certainly help.
