There are three areas that I specialize in and have for over 30 years: 1-Interpersonal Relationships From how to start one, repairing one and how to keep one going in a positive direction. There is a lot of false information out there about this area of life, which is why it is the most troublesome area. Usually one tries to navigate it by not doing what their parents did or just using one's "gut"-neither will work out in the long run. Knowing some basics will give you the foundation to build a relationship successfully on or to repair or keep it growing. 2-Study If you can't study you can't learn and failing that you will have a very hard time getting on in life not to mention being successful. While asking questions and looking at things can substitute for "book learning" and help one to learn about things, they are limited in practicality-finding people who are willing to answer all your questions and in the subjects you want to know about and "looking" will not get you through technical subjects. By far the preferred and most common method used today around the world is learning through studying the printed word and is the fastest IF you can do it easily. But how do you do that and navigate through the various mental and physical barriers that lay in wait for you and not end up quitting? Again, knowing a few basics will untangle you or speed you up. 3-Organizing Oh for the want of knowing how to organize! Yet every successful endeavor from personal, inter-personal relationships and business is utterly dependent on knowing how to and applying it correctly. Walk into anyone's personal area or office or working area and you will immediately know how successful that person or group is and how well they know and are applying the principles of organization. People who are well organized are pleasant to be around, their spaces are comfortable and easy to be in-such people and their well-ordered environments can actually make others feel better. Knowing the basics or organization can help you put better order into your life and bring about more success. I have been around the block, as the saying goes and having seen and done a lot! From those experiences I have learned the right way to do quite a few things.
