　　获得15.1k好评的答案@Abhishek Padmasale

　　The ability to express your thoughts.

　　表达自己想法的能力。

　　Seriously, I believe this is something most of us lack. It's extremely important for a person to learn to put into words, what he thinks. It makes a relationship last. It creates an impression on the person you're talking to. It gives you a chance to explore what others think about your ideas. It lets you answer questions on Quora in a way other people understand.

　　说真的，我认为这是我们大部分人所缺乏的。对于一个人来说，学着用语言来表达自己的想法是非常重要的——这能让一段关系维持下去，能让和你说话的人产生一种印象，给你一个机会去探索别人对你的想法所抱有的看法，能让你在Quora上以其他人能够明白的方式回答问题。

　　Although I'm no expert, I can say that you can always develop this skill simply by learning to talk without fear. Talk to a stranger, a fellow passenger on a train or your child-hood crush, they won't mind (I'm not sure about your crush, though). That way, you'll be forced to express your thoughts as clearly as possible. And that's exactly how you learn the art of expressing yourself and your ideas!

　　尽管我不是专家，但是我能说你可以通过学会毫无畏惧地谈话来锻炼这个技能。去和陌生人、一起坐火车的乘客或者童年时的女神/男神交谈，他们不会介意的(不过我不确定你的女神/男神介不介意)。这种方式能逼迫你尽可能地表达你的想法，而且这也确实能让你学到表现自我和自己想法的艺术!

　　So, go out, talk to someone. Unleash your mind. Express yourself!

　　所以，走出门去和人交谈，释放你的内心，展现自我!

　　The ability to tell a good story - If most people are honest, the people who they remember most in their lives are people who could tell them a great story. You are going to meet a lot of people in an average lifetime and while you'll forget most of them, you'll always remember the good storytellers.

　　讲好故事的能力——如果大部分人都做到诚实，那么在生活中，他们记得最牢的人是能给他们讲个好故事的人。在一生中你会遇到许许多多的人，但是你会忘记他们之中的大部分，却一直记住那些很会讲故事的人。

　　获得4.3k好评的答案@Abhinav Krishna

　　Self-Discipline

　　自律

　　The skill is to motivate oneself constantly and to never lose track of one's goals and to work constantly towards them. Mastering oneself is the key to achieving one's dreams and the only way one can master oneself is through self-discipline.

　　这种技能就是不停地激励自我、永远不会迷失自己的目标并且不停地朝着目标努力。自我控制是实现梦想的关键，而自律是我们控制自我的唯一方式。

　　获得3.4k好评的答案@Shruti Chopade

　　The ability to accept.

　　Accept that life can't always be the way you want.

　　接受那并不尽如人意的生活。

　　Accept that everyone in the world can't behave the way you want them to.

　　接受世界上每一个不按你希望来表现的人。

　　Accept that you can't keep everyone happy.

　　接受你无法取悦每一个人。

　　Accept that unrealistic goals can never be achieved.

　　接受不切实际的目标永远无法实现。

　　Accept that you can't change things which are not in your hands.

　　接受你无法改变不为你掌握的事情。

　　Accept that worrying won't do any good.

　　接受担心忧虑没有任何好处。

　　Accept that your happiness lies in your hands.

　　接受你的幸福掌握在你自己手中。

　　If we accept these, life will be much simpler.

　　如果我们能接受这些，生活将会简单得多。
