Covering the benefits of learning a new skill, the Office of Continuing Education at CCSU (Central Connecticut State University) pointed out that such an activity can positively alter one’s brain chemistry, as practicing a new skill tends to make the myelin—the white matter in our brain—more dense, which helps people learn even better.

In a world where we can choose to learn basically any skill there is, some might prove more advantageous than others, especially on a global level. In an interview with Bored Panda, Dr. John Corlett of the Faculty of Health and Community Studies at MacEwan University in Edmonton, Alberta, shared that, in his opinion, one of the skills that people all over the world could really benefit from is empathy. “Empathy is not usually thought of as a skill but more as seeing and feeling the world with the eyes—and hearts—of others. But it is the skill in shortest supply in a loud, divided, and self-centered world,” he said. Bill_Belamy , Mathias Reding / Pexels Report

“What is to be gained by building our empathic and critical thinking skills? You can save the world. So, why not try? It is not just something we should do. It is who we should BE, every day, with everyone. By all means learn to play the piano. But make time to learn how to play with others, too.” Ineedyoursway , yanalya / Freepik Report
