.\nYou said "MOST" people & not "ALL"\n\nKeeping SILENT (most of the time) or Listening more and Talking Less--\n\nBENEFIT---They would listen more than talk---they would learn all sorts of things---by listening more they would improve themselves---there would be greater all round progress---there would be peace since there would be better understanding among people---and there would be smaller telephone and mobile bills---hee hee\n\nCONSEQUENCES OF NOT HAVING THIS SKILL---There are more arguements and fights---me first attitude---also intolerance---lack of understanding\n\n.

Confidence is a mental thing.  I had the opposite problem, I was insanely skinny, and had no muscle on my body.  Even after I got rip and cut, I still didn't have confidence.  What helped me, is that I took up interests the helped develop me as a person.  For example, I took on karate.  It was hard for me to pick up, but once I got into a rhythm I felt better about myself.  Also, I stopped putting myself down, and tried to look at everything in a positive light.  For example, when things didn't work out for me in anything, I just realized I needed to be proud of myself for at least giving it my best shot.  Finally, NEVER STOP LEARNING.  Try to learn something new every day if you can.  Read newspapers, magazines, keep up with current events, etc.  If you pick hobbies that will develop you, look at the positive, and constantly try to learn about the world around you, you will develop more confidence in who you are.  I wish you well!

It is always good to leave the comfort of your own home and learn how life is in less fortunate places. We tend to take too much for granted in the developed world. An experience out of comfort will give you an appreciation for what you have and you will learn how much you have that you really don't need. Kids who can learn this early on will benefit from it immensely.

The more you focus on getting it, the more likely you won't.\nJust enjoy what you're doing and it might come by itself.\nWell, I assume you know what it takes to get it... So you could possible re-consider some techniques/positions to help you achieve it..

nice quesion, I'm sure many different answers will work for you but to me the end goal in life is to learn as much as possible from our experience.  Staying connected to our results is the only way to look at what is working for us and what isn't.  My priority in life is to teach my kids how to learn for themselves a lot faster than I did. I think no matter what line of work you're in you can make a difference by connecting with the people you work with.

Different people have different interests.  Some people don't have the coordination and physical prowess to be good at it, and most people don't want to spend many hours a week trying to get good at it when they have no interest in it.  I could say, "why do people not know how to play a musical instrument or write music?"

I think it could be either better or worse for social skills.  If you are in a situation where it's hard to communicate with people about ideas, it's great to have a forum like this one.  I learn so much here, and have the pleasure of helping others with my ideas.  On the other hand, if I had a child who needed my attention, or I was ignoring my friends, it wouldn't be good.  So, it could go either way.

it could be that your body and muscle can work better with you hand eye coordination when parts of your brain aren't in full control.  example many marksman allow the body to aim the shot not the mind i hope this makes sense or it could be that I'm a little drunk.  drunks make wonderful philosophers

Being good at anything is really hard.  If you want to excell you'll need to leverage all possible advantages, one of them being pure hard work, long hours, lots of reading and being diligent.

mental ability to develop innovation.\n\n*yes, i am creative\n*It can not be copied, but developed and boosted in childhood with a positive enviroment.\n*If you copy, then you are not being innoative, therefore not creative.\n*Thinking outside the box is not being ordinary, not an average joe

Our capacity for abstract thought is shaped and goes hand-in-hand with our language.  Stephen Hawking had it right "Then something happened that unleashed the power of our imagination...we learned to talk."\nThis has obvious advantages in a tribal society, in hunting, in battle.  "let's scare the buffalo off the cliff"\n\nThe other thing that allowed intellect to grow to absurdity, like the sabre-tooth tiger's fangs, was the creation and use of tools.  Tools are a product of intellect.  Humans can do more with less work using tools, and increased intellect gave this vehicle fuel.  Smarter tool users excelled over animals and other humans.  Our state of dominance in the world is dependant on tools. \n\nThere are also "riders" on evolutionary traits.  Not all of our mental processes are helpful.  Some are products of complexity.  Some are sheer mental horsepower side effects.  We are not better animals knowing we are flying through space on a rock.  It causes some of us so much angst that we live complex religious fantasies.  We are not better animals because we use condoms, or even know why babies happen.  We have things like orgasms to bribe us into being successful animals anyway.  People have temporary insanity plugged into their DNA which turns on when they're turned on.  These things have to happen to counteract our intellect.\n\nYou are one of the very few people I've seen ask the right question.  You can figure out anything if you just follow "how" all the way.

Actually, School is an important life skill!  If no one went to school, how do we have computers, bombs, lights, speakers, mp3, pencils, mirrors????  This all come from science, a part of school learning.  Don't you want a good job that might put you in charge and not have to do as much work?

If you have been practicing martial arts, the skills you have honed will be facilitated upon the need in real life...kind of like reflexes. \n\nI was drunk in a bar one night and someone put me in a full-nelson. Before I even knew what happened, I had clenched his arms, spun around and head-butted him. I didn't even think about it, I just reacted. \n\nI hope this helps ease your mind...

Well, it is a long range goal type thing.\nDepending on your age, it might be better for your children etc than for yourself!\nBUT THERE WILL BE BENEFITS!

I don't believe it holds any benefits, except make parents more neurotic, being around their children all day.  And who decides whether the parents are competent enough to teach.  Do you need to have a teaching degree for this?\nKids will most certainly miss out on a lot of interaction with other children, which is very important.\nIf you want to give them a better education, send them to private school if you can afford it.
