Maybe this missing part which turns a potential into reality is the actualization itself. Just looking at this almost posted comment here and thinking what makes it done.. That button? Dunno...

When I mean skill, I am regarding it mostly in terms of self development. But if we consider it in terms of theatrical methods, it is obviously very complex, and defining it as a skill doesn't cover it. So, you do have a point here. In terms of self development, still this can be looked at as a skill. It is not an obvious one, and few people talk about it. But Maslow does for example. Just think of what he calls 'self actualization' which represents almost the utmost in personal development. A state rather than a skill. But actualization can be a skill also, a tool which you develop inside yourself to get there. teodora, I am not denying that it is much more complex than it seems.

And I think an ability doesn't always lead to an act. What makes someone actualize something? Just that ha "can"? Maybe we have a different dictionary :) it’s too complex for me to be one skill.

How? Attila has explained above. <em>"To actualize something means to give it actuality, to bring it forward, to bring it to the present time"</em>. Actualization as a skill refers to the ability to recall, to bring something to the present. For instance if you have to make a decision, you have to recall the most relevant informations and experiences to support the present moment. This kind of attitude can be a skill indeed!

It's something that is important to do, but the actual skills letting someone accomplish this are many. A few of them may not be skills but qualities like having a good memory or imagination, empathy, logic, whatever. These can be improved as skills but what brings them together into (the act of) "actualization" is the question, imo. A desire maybe? I can’t see how actualization could be a “skill”.
