🔰 the difference between skills and abilities


✳️ A quick look in a good dictionary will show that the two words, skill and ability, are so close in meaning that each is used in the definitions of the other, so you will find that the words are often used interchangeably.

🔸When the two words are distinguished from each other, the likeliest point of distinction is that an ability is more natural (“natural aptitude“) and a skill is acquired (“learned power”).

🔸For instance, a coach might say that some athletes have enough ability that with new skills their abilities can be further improved.


✍🏻Best explained through this example:

I was recruited as a software engineer in a reputed company. I did not have knowledge of computer programming neither I was having skills of software development but I was having the abilities to learn and master those skills.

⭕️see through rose-coloured glasses | rose-colored glasses

✍🏾Meaning:
If someone sees things through rose-coloured glasses, they see things as being better than they really are.

❕For example:

🔺If you have the courage and maturity to see things as they really are, you'll no longer need to see things through rose-colored glasses.

➕Note: 1. "Rose-coloured glasses" is British spelling and "rose-colored glasses" is American spelling. 2. This idiom can also be expressed as "see through rose-tinted glasses" or "see through rose-tinted spectacles".
