Anything in life is skill based. Right from talking, reading, writing, singing, walking, swimming, driving, etc. Is there anything that we can do without skill? Even sleeping is also a skill. Many people are losing that skill due to stress and other disorders. Being calm and composed is a greater skill. Eating by properly chewing or avoiding craving the food are all skills. Will it be effective if we apply a wrong skill ? Do we try to swim with bycycling skill ? What kind of skill is trading ? Is trading not a business ? What kind of skill is business? Is it just an art or science or psychology or philosophy. Business is a philosophy / discipline / principle in the first place which is commonly known as business principle or business discipline. Psychology and creativity are the two vital aspects of business skill. Business is not just a psychological skill. It is a philosophical skill powered by psychological and creative skills.
