The ability to express your thoughts.

表達自己想法的能力。

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.

說真的，我認為這是我們大部分人所缺乏的。對于一個人來說，學著用語言來表達自己的想法是非常重要的——這能讓一段關系維持下去，能讓和你說話的人產生一種印象，給你一個機會去探索別人對你的想法所抱有的看法，能讓你在Quora上以其他人能夠明白的方式回答問題。

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!

盡管我不是專家，但是我能說你可以通過學會毫無畏懼地談話來鍛煉這個技能。去和陌生人、一起坐火車的乘客或者童年時的女神/男神交談，他們不會介意的(不過我不確定你的女神/男神介不介意)。這種方式能逼迫你盡可能地表達你的想法，而且這也確實能讓你學到表現自我和自己想法的藝術!

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

所以，走出門去和人交談，釋放你的內心，展現自我!

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.

講好故事的能力——如果大部分人都做到誠實，那么在生活中，他們記得最牢的人是能給他們講個好故事的人。在一生中你會遇到許許多多的人，但是你會忘記他們之中的大部分，卻一直記住那些很會講故事的人。

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.

這種技能就是不停地激勵自我、永遠不會迷失自己的目標并且不停地朝著目標努力。自我控制是實現夢想的關鍵，而自律是我們控制自我的唯一方式。
