Meta-Skills
"Become the ultimate artist. Create yourself." - TR
All life activities require meta-skills.
At the foundation of every expression is a meta-skill, a capability enabling others to come alive.
To become an effective professional, knowledge of the profession isn't enough. To perform, the profession's meta-skills are also necessary. When the meta-skill is awakened, it can be applied to any profession or life experience requiring it.
For example, persuasion is a meta-skill. With it, you can enter any sphere involving persuasive skills.
If you have a powerful memory, all domains needing such a memory are yours to enter.
The more meta-skills developed, the more capable you are.
This approach flips the focus from the job to the skills, and from the skills to the meta-skills.
Instead of just blindly searching for the job, you identify existing and desired meta-skills, and then the role.
Through this discovery, you may realize the role doesn't yet exist. With your meta-skills, you can create it.
Education is needed: to know what the meta-skills are, how to develop them, their reversals when in excess and the adversaries blocking their ascent.
