It is a common misconception about soft skills that even most of the professionals enlist the skills such as leading and management, creativity, team work etc etc., whenever they are asked about soft skills. Soft skills are those which are purely related to one's social behaviour; what has one learned in the life before starting one's professional life. The most important skill is one's ability to learn new things, (A good learner).Then comes the second skill that is to value and appreciate other's opinion, (not a self-centered person). The third skill is about the ability to say 'NO', (Courageous). Fourth skill shall comprises one's articulation, listening, vision and vigilant sense skills, (powerful senses). Fifth skill is decision making power, atleast one should be able to make one's opinion based on one's own perspective of a situation, (well-informed person). And the list goes on... In a nutshell, one should reflect one's life learnings being a normal person.
