What is a skill?

There are many answers to that question, but I prefer the one that

defines a skill as;

AN ABILITY THAT HAS BEEN ACQUIRED BY TRAINING.

We are all here to undergo training and acquire abilities in Microsoft Office Applications.

WORD = Week 1EXCEL = Week 2

POWERPOINT = week 3

Anyone who is engaged in learning can benefit from developing his or her skills. When you set out to learn ,

you are actually developing your skills …….

LEARNING

We are all born with countless natural abilities….

If I ask you all to list all your talents…..,

No two persons will have the same list….

Some will have a longer list than others….

WHY IS THAT ??

If you are thinking that it is because some people are MORE

INTELLIGENT than others…..

Then you areWRONG….!X

Learning depends on many factors including;

What we like to learn….. (INTEREST)

And how we go about learning it…!(Attitudes, Methods, Techniques

….etc)

You are here because you are INTERESTED ……

We are here to SHOW YOU HOW TO GO

ABOUT IT….!

There is no one “BEST” way to learn.

It is increasingly recognised that people learn in

different ways.

Some people learn best by doing;

Some learn best ingroup situations,

Others learn best alone.

Others prefer to learn by listening or reading.

The SECRET is to find the METHODS and TECHNIQUES that

work for you, and to maximise on these.

Here are a few things you can do to quickly master your

skills in Microsoft Office applications…

I WILL LIKE TO START FROM INSIDE….

THE MINDIn order to master any skill,

you need to GET YOUR MIND RIGHT !!!

“A man always has 2 reasons for doing

something…A good one and The real one..”John Pierpont Morgan

When you make up your mind to achieve any goal, you will face some challenges and obstacles.THEY ARE INEVITABLE !!!

There is an African saying that:

“IF THERE IS NO ENEMY WITHIN, THE ENEMY OUTSIDE

CAN DO US NO HARM”

Fortunately 80% of the obstacles you

face when trying to achieve anything

comes FROM WITHIN YOU (your inner voice)

And only 20% are from external sources like people and conditions!

Some of you might have been facing challenges in some Microsoft Office applications….

Have teamed up and taken away the 20% of obstacles that you had

before.

In order to take away the remaining 80% and benefit fully from this program, you need to start asking yourself questions like these: How bad do I want it? Am I willing to sacrifice time, energy

and sometimes money? Under what conditions will I give up?

Here are a few things you can do to

GET YOUR MIND RIGHT…..1) STATE YOUR GOALS !!!

State the goals you want to achieve by

undertaking this particular course.

If you don't believe that you can achieve your goal, you won't.

BELIEVE

Success is not just about hard work -

Get a Positive Attitude!

It is also about your attitude to your studies and your belief in your ability

to succeed.

ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING!!!

When you are done with your inner self, the rest is going to be super easy!

Every skill has procedures especially in Microsoft office applications.

One of the MOST IMPORTANT factors that can make you MASTER YOUR SKILLS is your ABILITY TO REMEMBER the procedures involved in the skill in question…

So you need to make good use of your MEMORY…

1 very good memory killer is Alcohol…!

There are memory killers….and memory boosters…

2 very good memory boosters are physical exercise and rest…!

In order to develop a mastery of your skills, it must be stored in your LONG TERM MEMORY….

Here are some few ways to transfer information from your SHORT TERM MEMORY to your LONG TERM MEMORY…..

….. whenever you learn a new procedure. The very process of writing down procedures, increases your chances of remembering them.

WRITE IT DOWN..!

…as often as you can…. Share with others…

The more you talk about it, the easier you’ll

remember…

Talk about it…

PRACTICE, PRACTICE and PRACTICE AGAIN…..!

TAKE A BREAK AND REST….Sometimes the only solution is to take away from it all. Even a walk around the block can do wonders …

PERSISTAbility to persist is what makes people to succeed.

Success never comes after first attempt.

How many times did you stop trying after the first failure?
