I have a skill that I definitely picked up from my mom and drives my husband as batty as it did my dad back in the day.
I am able to drive until the gas tank has just enough gas to get to the north side of the lake where there is a gas station. The light dings just as I round the last curve to get to the gas station. I have enough to get there and not one more mile.

Learning to recognize & deal with the Sunk Cost Fallacy is not only good advice for makers, learners & businesses - everyone should learn this in school.
If most people knew how to depart with the logic of "I already have too much invested in this to let it go" & take a sober look at things instead, something like half the world's Big Hairy Problems would be gone & most of the rest would be a lot easier to solve...

So, I am noticing a significant bifurcation of those who have been through some shit and have an array of adversity skills, and those who, well to state it politely, just don't.
In the hopes of shifting that a bit I would love to hear from you brilliant beautiful tenacious humans about skills you learned, how you learned them, that sorta thing.
As usual I will mostly 
boop, but am listening.
Teaching my son how to paint #LifeSkills he has also picked the design and colours we will be doing his room in. #mastodaoine he's doing great but it is hard work so we are having an extended lunch
