Learning Targets for 2017

Happy New Year . Some interesting things you can focus on this year . 

 They come from my friend Donald

1. Writing

Like it or not, how people value you depends on how you communicate yourself. You might have the skills, but if you can’t communicate yourself well, people will still doubt your value. That’s why the first two skills that I list here are communication skills. Communication skills are just as important today as they were a hundred years ago.
The first one of them is writing. If you haven’t done anything about it, I encourage you to upgrade your writing skills. In my case, I do it through blogging. I have been blogging since 2006, and I have learned a lot about writing during that time.
To improve your writing skills, consider starting your own blog. Or you could start a personal journal. You might also want to read the books that I recommend below.

2. Public Speaking

The second one of the communication skills is your speaking skills. In particular, I’d like to encourage you to improve your public speaking skills. This is how you can share your ideas in front of many people.
In my case, I did it by joining Toastmasters. It’s a good club that helps you improve your public speaking skills. It’s also a good way to meet new people.

3. Coding

Learning to code is becoming more and more popular today. There is a good reason for that: it can help you make the most of the technology around you. The fact is, many things around us have computer code behind them, so knowing how to code can help you a lot.
You don’t need to learn advanced coding. You could start with just HTML and CSS, the languages for building simple websites. With these two, you will be able to build and edit your own website if you want to.
I’m fortunate because coding has been my hobby for years. In fact, that’s what I majored in at college. My coding skills have helped me run this website because I can make customizations myself. It has also allowed me to build an app business.

4. Online marketing

The last skill that I want to share with you is online marketing. More and more things are sold online these days, so having online marketing knowledge can help you sell whatever it is you have. This includes building your personal brand.
In my case, I have been learning online marketing as I run this website. Not only has it helped me a lot, but also it’s fun to learn!
