Do you see a man skillful and experienced in his work? He will stand [in honor] before kings; He will not stand before obscure men.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭22‬:‭29‬ ‭AMP‬‬ Functional skills are abilities or talents that are inherited at birth and developed through experience and learning. Self-management skills are the behaviors you have developed in learning to cope with your environment and the people and conditions in it. Special knowledge skills are those having to do with mastering a specific body of information related to a particular type of work, profession, occupation, educational, or leisure activity.
