Computer familiarity Computers have become the life line of today"s high- tech world. There is no work, in our whole day, for which we are not dependent on computers or the technology products. The use of computers has overpowered our life and we have got addicted to computers to a great extent.

To excel in one"s activity and to achieve greater career growth computer skill set is very important. Not only in our job activities, but also Computers have entered in our social world which interconnects us through technology .Wherever we look at computer and technology have become a basic need for every person. Communication skills Communication has been prevalent since the beginning of mankind and had played a significant role. It plays a vital role in every aspects of life. It comes right after the demand of quality education. It is the ability to put across our thoughts and ideas to others in a clear manner. People who have high Emotional Quotient have greater communication skills. To achieve happiness in life communication skills plays an essential part. It helps a person to have a satisfying relationship with other people. It is very conducive to a person"s health both physically and emotionally. A person with average IQ and high communication skills succeeds in life much better than a person otherwise. Though it is an inborn trait, people can be trained to improve their communication. In today"s world communication goes hand in hand with specialization in technology for success in life. Many of our great leaders such as Kamaraj, Annadurai have a great prominence in life by their great communication skills even though they are not very highly educated. People who are well educated and also had great communication skills reached their zenith in life. For example our former presidents such as Dr. Radhakrishnan and Dr. Abdul Kalam who started their career as teachers" achieved greater heights and where known worldwide. One of the religious leader Swami Vivekananda was well known all over the world for his famous speech in Chicago. He addressed them as "Brothers and Sisters". The Americans were very much impressed by his speech and many of them revered for his deep knowledge on spirituality. Personal initiative Initiative is doing the right thing without being told."" Victor Hugo, French writer For any person to succeed in life, the first step is personal initiative. It is the personality trait that enables a person to direct his actions on his own towards achieving his goal. It is an essential trait that forms the fundamental cause that inspires him to achieve inner directed goal. External rewards like grades, winning awards, and money are not the sources of personal initiation. Such an Initiative is developed only through internal rewards, like creativity, dignity, autonomy, making a difference for others and activities that help youth to create their own futures. Let me tell you an incident that happened in real life. The recent flood in Chennai affected almost all the communication channels. A leading company was under tremendous pressure to deliver a project on a tight schedule. It was one of their critical projects with a major client affecting business in millions of dollars. The team members took the responsibility to stay behind in the office and worked through odd hours to deliver the project on time. This resulted in high customer satisfaction and after 2 months they got another big project from the same client. This clearly shows how personal initiation has helped the team members to achieve business growth. To conclude we can say that we have to cultivate not a single skill set but all the three as they all have high demand in today"s world. We cannot simply choose one skill over the other. In fact they are all inter-connected. In terms of practicality we may say self-initiative is very basic and it is followed by communication skills and computer literacy. IQ accounts for less than 25% of life success. Emotional intelligence, including initiative, accounts for the rest. Kids who lack initiative are more prone to depression. DEAR HERE COMMUNICATION SKILL MEANS - the way of speaking , pronouncing word,impression of speaker etc.
