Posted on Monday, 20 May 2013 | No Comments

Everyday we utilize our skills to progress and enhance ourselves with respect to time and life. A majority of our time is spent in the business or professional world. In order to progress in that world we must learn its etiquette and acquire the  required skills. Broadly there are two types of skills for the professional world. They are as follows:
  1. Soft Skills
  2. Hard Skills
Well, let us learn briefly about these important skills.

Soft skill is a sociological term which refers to a cluster of personality traits, social graces, facility with language, personal habits, friendliness, optimizing that mark people to varying degrees. In other words, soft skill is a personal skill derived out of life skills that is usually interpersonal, non-specialized and difficult to quantify such as leadership or responsibility.

Skill is the ability to use one's knowledge effectively and readily in execution or performance. It is the learned power of doing something or anything competently, to develop with the attitude or the ability. We say people are skilled or proficient on our judgement on the appropriateness of their behavior and choices and the quality of their work.

Soft skills are the bunch of skills which complement to hard skills. Technical knowledge of any subject is considered as hard skills whereas common sense knowledge or general knowledge of anything is soft skill. In the end, for people having the mind set that soft skills and hard skills are independent from each other, they must reconsider. Soft skills and hard skills are no doubt two different things but in order to prosper in today's business world one needs to acquire and utilize both of these skills appropriately and intelligently!! So these essential skills complement each other in the everyday professional world immensely.
