MAHAMA MIMI, 2024

I reckon it's a bit of a mess out there, right? We've all been told this whole life thing comes with a roadmap, but you grow up and find out, nah, no one's handing you a map. It's all trial and error, mate. You're figuring it out as you go along, and often it feels like you're just chucking spaghetti at a wall, hoping something sticks. I mean, sure, you get those unit degrees, do the courses, go to the workshops – but do they really set you up for life? Do they teach you the stuff you actually need to stay afloat, let alone thrive? Not always. Take a step back for a second and think about what really lasts. Forget the fads, the trendy buzzwords that'll be gone in a year. I'm talking about skills you can fall back on when everything else goes to hell. The kind of skills that'll always pay off, no matter how old you are, what job you're in, or which side of the planet you've decided to call home. You've probably heard this before, "learn something once, and you're sorted for life." Yeah, nah, not quite right. Life's not that straightforward. But here's the thing: there are skills out there that, once you've got them under your belt, they're like your personal toolkit, always there when you need them, no matter where you are or what life throws at you. These are the skills that'll carry you through, whether you're hustling in the city or chilling in the countryside. But, look, I'm not here to feed you a bunch of empty motivational waffle. This isn't about just finding what you love or getting some "life hack" that'll solve all your problems in three steps. Life's way messier than that. What we're talking about is how to get a grip on the chaos, learn to navigate the world on your own terms, and pick up the kind of know-how that'll keep you ticking along long after the latest bit of tech becomes obsolete or the world shifts gears again. Now, I'm not going to sit here and pretend I've got all the answers. I'm not some guru with a magic formula. But over time, and after a lot of stumbling around myself, I've learned that certain skills just never go out of fashion. They're evergreen, mate. You can take them with you wherever you go, and they'll get you by. These aren't just for making money – although they sure as hell can help with that. No, we're talking about skills that make you a stronger, more capable person. Skills that give you a sense of purpose, that help you connect with people, make you a better mate, a better worker, a better human being, really. You know that mate who just seems to know how to handle any situation? Whether it's a broken-down car, a dodgy Wi-Fi connection, or a room full of people at some awkward work party – they've got it under control. That's not magic; that's someone who's spent time learning how to deal with the world. That's someone who's learned what actually matters. And yeah, they're the ones who'll always land on their feet because they've got these skills that just don't fade away. So, what are these magic tricks, then? Well, they're not tricks. They're the hard-won, sometimes painfully simple things that you never realize you needed until life smacks you in the face. It's stuff like learning how to communicate with someone without sounding like a total idiot. Knowing how to fix basic things around the house instead of ringing your old man for help every time the sink clogs up. Figuring out how to make a bit of cash when your main gig's on the ropes. It's knowing how to manage your time, not just so you can fit more work in, but so you can actually have a life. Skills that might not sound fancy, but man, they make all the difference.
