🔰 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:
🔺Tina sees things through rose-coloured glasses, so when things aren't going very well, she won't do anything to improve the situation.
🔺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".

Perfect Woman
…Short Inspirational Story …
~ Osho
I have heard about a man who remained unmarried his whole life, and when he was dying, ninety years old, somebody asked him, “You have remained unmarried your whole life, but you have never said what the reason was. Now you are dying, at least quench our curiosity. If there is any secret, now you can tell it, because you are dying; you will be gone. Even if the secret is known, it can’t harm you.”
The man said, “Yes, there is a secret. It is not that I am against marriage, but I was searching for a perfect woman. I searched and searched, and my whole life slipped by.”
The inquirer asked, “But upon this big earth, so many millions of people, half of them women, couldn’t you find one perfect woman?”
A tear rolled down from the eye of the dying man. He said, “Yes, I did find one.”
The inquirer was absolutely shocked. He said, “Then what happened? Why didn’t you get married?”
And the old man said, “But the woman was searching for a perfect husband.
