Skills and abilities

Skills are the specific learned competencies that enable you to perform tasks effectively, such as programming, writing, or operating machinery. Abilities are innate or developed qualities that influence how well you can do those tasks, like problem-solving, communication, or physical dexterity. Skills are often acquired through training or practice, while abilities are more about your innate talents or natural predispositions. Together, skills and abilities determine your overall capability to complete various jobs or activities efficiently.
