No one can be good at everything, but you can make it seem this way if you focus on developing only the most vital skills. These skills generally include being smart, good-looking and athletic.



  1. 1
    Develop good time management and self-discipline. You will need both patience and time as nothing worthwhile comes easy.
  2. 2
    Hang out with many different types of people. You can learn a lot from just being around someone and you are also expanding your horizons by not only focusing a one specific group of people.
  3. 3
    Do not waste your time. No one cares if you are good at video games so don't sit around watching TV. Instead practice or study, do something worthwhile that will be rewarding.
  4. 4
    Develop hand-eye coordination. This is the most important skill in nearly all sports. Try throwing and catching a tennis ball off a wall for awhile. This will enhance timing, reaction, and depth perception.
  5. 5
    Develop a photographic memory. Be very observant when simply walking around or driving in a car. Look at something, look away, and ask yourself questions about it while you picture it. When studying, don't focus so much on the words, but rather on where the words are in your notes. Try taking notes with strict formatting, by choosing indents or dashes or numbers etc. that each have a specific meaning.
  6. 6
    Be nice to everyone and never too arrogant. It is good to be confident but understand when someone is not as good at you at something. If you act modest but then succeed at something, it will only make you look better at it.
  7. 7
    Learn something unique. Learn how to juggle or play an instrument or draw/build certain things. Anyone can do any of these things and when you are smart, athletic, and you can do something else cool on top of all that, people just assume you are good at everything.

  • Always be confident with what you are doing and put in all of your effort
  • Pick one specific thing to specialize in in each of the major categories (don't take time to practice both basketball and football, one will come with the other)
  • Find the balance between your social life along with your work or academic pursuits.
  • Being the best takes a lot of effort so try hard and be yourself.
  • Try not to focus on one thing more than another and split each skill up evenly


  • Avoid getting involved in specific things you are naturally bad at.
  • Don't surround yourself with people who are too much better than you.
