They are the stupid learners. If we want to learn quicly, we need to build on active listening, reading and observation skills.

Choosing what to learn is important to be an efficient learner, but application of what we choose to be important is what moves the instruction into construction- the intangible into reality. The ability to merge ideas to produce a desired result can be satisfying, but application for applications sake, may not account to anything more than self validation. To be truely successful, application of what is learned needs to be relevant/useful, so I think that the ability to recognize when to use what we have learned, (sometimes it's intentional, and sometimes we get lucky)is the mark of a genius.

Speed of learning is not THE most important skill, but it is an incredible asset. Its actually very easy to get ahead in this life without being really smart or keeping up with all the developments in technology. Lots of the most wealthy people make all their money and know almost nothing about computers. Donald Trump, Warren Buffet and Bill Gates are all great examples (from how bad PCs function you would think he knows very little....LOL!!!) Seriously though. All the most wealthy people I know personally are good businessmen. Not the super smart IT guys. And what is the ONE THING good businessmen have? People skills. Social skills are the single most important skillset in the world. There have been studies about who generally gets promoted in the work place. Its usually the guy with the best social skills. These skills are important not only because they make you rich, but because they make you happy. Mark Zuckerberg and Sergey Brin are geniouses, and they are insanely rich. But are they happy? I dont know, but I know lots of people who are really rich and arent happy at all. However, I know lots of people who are pretty poor, and they are very happy because they have a very active social life. I believe this so much that I, a person who was always envied in school, a person with an IQ of 184 have devoted my life, NOT to being a super braniac. But being a super charismatic wonderful person. That is what brings happiness, and thus, that is what is the most important skill. OH, there is one skill that even with social skills without this one, you will never be happy, and that skill is charity. Loving others and doing things for them is in itself a social skill and will get you more friends and incredible and rewarding relationships than any amount of charisma or charm. Since its technically a social skill though. Social Skills are still the number one most important! Take it from someone who can learn an entire textbook in a week.
