It was used for decades to describe talented computer enthusiasts, people whose skill at using computers to solve technical problems and puzzles was - and is - respected and admired by others possessing similar technical skills Picture Quote #1

Writing a novel - unlike operating a piece of heavy machinery, say, or cooking a chicken - is not a skill that can be taught. There is no standard way of doing it, just as there is no means of telling, while you’re doing it, whether you’re doing it well or badly. And merely because you’ve done it well once doesn’t mean you can do it well again Picture Quote #1

My dad had such a cool job. When you’re a voiceover actor, it’s a whole different skill - you’re bringing these huge, larger-than-life monsters and characters to life. And, also, you have to learn accents Picture Quote #1

My dad was a huge big band and jazz fan, and we both sort of enjoyed be-bop, but man, it required so much skill to play it.

Also, they don’t understand - writing is language. The use of language. The language to create image, the language to create drama. It requires a skill of learning how to use language Picture Quote #1

Without passion, all the skill in the world won’t lift you above craft. Without skill, all the passion in the world will leave you eager but floundering. Combining the two is the essence of the creative life Picture Quote #1

The creative process is a cocktail of instinct, skill, culture and a highly creative feverishness Picture Quote #1

I could name you a dozen superheroes whose powers I’d like to have. But if I could have any power in the world, it would be the power to read or watch a creative work and absorb the technical skill of the people who made it. Because then I could have even more fun writing. That’s my core identity. I’m a writer. I just love telling stories Picture Quote #1

Working for incredible talents like Balenciaga and Antonio Castillo, I learned about the immense skill and creativity involved in couture work Picture Quote #1

In high school, my English teacher Celeste McMenamin introduced me to the great novels and Shakespeare and taught me how to write. Essays, poetry, critical analysis. Writing is a skill that was painful then but a love of mine now Picture Quote #1

There’s a catharsis in cutting down trees. But there’s absolutely none of that in picking cotton. It’s maddening! It’s fiddly, and it pricks your fingers, and it’s something that’s a very hard skill if you have no alacrity for it Picture Quote #1

For it is we who must pray for our daily bread, and if He grants it to us, it is only through our labour, our skill and preparation Picture Quote #1

It doesn’t take skill to stand in a place were no bullets find you, or to fire into the dark and hit a man you didn’t see Picture Quote #1

All our efforts to guard and guide our children may just get in the way of the one thing they need most from us: to be deeply loved yet left alone so they can try a new skill, new slang, new style, new flip-flops. So they can trip a few times, make mistakes, cross them out, try again, with no one keeping score Picture Quote #1

When you’re younger, you see the people who are in power and think they must have that position because of some degree of skill.

After months of preparation working with a stylist who explained to me how a fashion house runs and the process of making a dress, I developed a respect for the patience and skill it takes to design these dresses Picture Quote #1

It is far more difficult to be simple than to be complicated; far more difficult to sacrifice skill and easy execution in the proper place, than to expand both indiscriminately Picture Quote #1

The extraordinary language of Nonviolent Communication is changing how parents relate to children, teachers to students, and how we all related to each other and even to ourselves. It is precise, disciplined, and enormously compassionate.

Only those who have patience to do simple things perfectly ever acquire the skill to do difficult things easily Picture Quote #1
