Skills learned outside of school

 Diplomacy—that's what I learned by focusing on the ways of society. I was not aware of the importance of diplomacy in everyday life.  I was used to expressing my ideas freely. I was, in short, open-minded. Always following the academic books as the ultimate truth makes one naive, and it happens due to a lack of real-life experiences. Revealing our plans at their earliest stage is certainly doomed, and it's how some people around us work against us to achieve triumph. In this uncertain world, when a friend turns into a foe, it is unimaginable. Therefore, it's not always advisable to express our opinions freely.

Relatives are another level of people who are always jealous of our success, of course, in secret. On the same grounds, we can't cut off all our transactions with them. That's even more dangerous. One should be careful in revealing our new projects. Otherwise, they grab our opportunities and foil our efforts. As we have been interacting with different kinds of people in the world, we come to know them. And no school teaches us the intricate ways of the human mind. Self-experience is the only true way to gain insight; at times, we misinterpret sweet words or displays of affection as the individual's genuine character.
