Educated Professional:
The Important Things that an Educated Professional/Student can’t Live Without
or
(The Qualities and Abilities that an Educated Professional Must Possess)

Possessing good grades, first class degrees or titles do not necessarily imply that a person has acquired good education. An educated person or professional must know how to gain knowledge and skills. There is a gap between where you are and where you want to be. This gap is that of knowledge and skills. An educated person should be able to identify this gap and should know how to fill this gap by learning new things. Learning is the key skill.
It is rightly said that -“an educated person must know, that he/she has the ability to discern and act in a measured manner. Education should incline us to think that every violent reform deserves censure, for it quite fails to remedy evil while men remain what they are, and also because wisdom needs no violence.”
So an educated professional must know -
• how to find, consume, and comprehend information and identify what’s most important in the face of a problem or challenge.
• how to communicate thoughts and ideas in written form clearly and concisely.
• how to communicate thoughts and ideas to others clearly, concisely, and with confidence.
• how to accurately use concepts from arithmetic, algebra, geometry, calculus, and statistics to analyze and solve common problems.
• how to identify critical issues, prioritize, focus energy/effort, recognize fallacies, avoid common errors, and handle ambiguity.
• how to interact with other people in a way that encourages them to like, trust, and respect you.
• how to anticipate potential sources of conflict and resolve disagreements when they occur.
• how to create, clarify, evaluate, and communicate a possible future scenario that assists in decision-making, either for yourself or another person.
• how to identify the necessary next steps to achieve an objective, account for dependencies, and prepare for the unknown and inevitable change via the use of contingencies.
• how to accurately perceive and influence your own internal states and emotions, including effective management of limited energy, willpower, and focus.
• how to recognize, understand, and make use of key features of systems and relationships, including cause-and-effect, second and third-order effects, constraints, and feedback loops.
• how to go about learning a desired skill in a way that results in competence by finding and utilizing available resources, deconstructing complex processes, and actively experimenting with potential approaches.
And also an educated professional must always try to acquire -
• the ability to ask hard questions which challenge prevailing assumptions.
• the ability to quickly assimilate needed data from masses of irrelevant information.
• the ability to work in teams without guidance.
• the ability to persuade others that your course is the right one.
• the ability to conceptualize and reorganize information into new patterns.
• the ability to discuss ideas with an eye toward application.
• the ability to think inductively, deductively and dialectically.
• the ability to conceptualize and solve problems.
• the ability to think independently.
• the ability to take initiative and work independently.
• the ability to work in cooperation with others and learn collaboratively.
• the ability to judge what it means to understand something thoroughly.
• the ability to see connections among disciplines, ideas and cultures.
• the ability to understand human nature and lead accordingly.
• the ability to identify needed personal traits and turn them into habits.
• the ability to establish, maintain, and improve lasting relationships.
• the ability to keep one's life in proper balance.
• the ability to discern truth and error regardless of the source, or the delivery.
