I have checked the topic of the ladies of Hive's contest, and after reading the topic, I have started thinking about that topic.

Can building a strong foundation in technical skills be a game-changer in life?

Today's world does not depend on hard work, but it depends on smart work. And the first step of smart work is learning technical skills. Technical skills are our powers; if someone adapts technical skills in life, they not only achieve success in life but also walk one step faster over time.

Just think there was a time when basic education was enough, but now the systems have changed. Now, if a person knows Excel, video editing, online data handling and even how to use AI properly, they have many more options for growing faster than the one who is only relying on a university education.

Does technology open the doors to new opportunities not offered previously?

I think this is true, I have dozen of examples around me that shows that technological skills are grooming my life a lot.

Firstly, technology has widened access to knowledge for everyone. The skills that we could only learn in universities or colleges, now we can learn them even by staying at home, just by using our smartphones on YouTube, and other free websites that teach skills. I have also learnt freelancing, dancing, sculpture making and lots of different skills online on YouTube. And honestly saying if there were no such technology available, it would be impossible for me to learn these skills by going out.

A year back i was over weight and i needed a strict disciplined workout plan and trainer that can hold track to my activities and guide me for my next moves but my family is little strict and they never allows me to go gym for body training, in such case it was my mobile phone who has guided me about my next move, i had so many fitness apps in my phone that helps me to complete my journey smoothly and i have lost 10 kgs, without technology this is impossible.

If I talk about daily life implications of technology, I make my grocery list on my phone, I have apps that monitor my health and my footsteps, and in my weight loss journey, this technology was the one that controlled my calories and held track of my steps too.

And I think people with a curiosity of learning new things and self-control can achieve a lot by using technology in daily life. Because they will not only use technology, they can also mold technology according to their needs, as I have done for my weight-loss journey.

In the future, people with technical skills will never fail, and they will always bloom in the rarest places, too.

Just try to stay focused and keep learning 😊
