There are millions of skills available for acquisition by the discerning mind. One thing is that you don't know the day it will come handy. Most people sit aloof concentrating only on their jobs not knowing that they should aspire to possess alternative means of income or additional source of livelihood. They are caught unawares when suddenly the broom of life sweeps across and they have nothing more to hold onto. There is no known wealthy man who is focusing on only one source of income.
