Which one is more important -language or mathematical skill for a happy day to day life?This question has just arisen in my mind after failing to get a reply message from one of my mylot friend to my private message .
For a happy living we need many things . Friends and money are two significant ones among them .
Since money is always a scarce resource, skill in money management is very important for maintaning a certain minimum level of happyness.For this, mathematical and logical aptitude is necessary .
But more than equally important for happyness is friends . You are emotionally attached to each other . You share your thoghts .You try to understand each other so that you can help each other in need . But if you fail to convey what you want to speak from your heart you may end up losing good friends . And your happyness is gone . Lest such sorry thing happens, you cannot afford to be unskilled in language .
And since the happyness from friends is of higher quality that that from money, language skill is more important .
Do you agree or not?

I think you make a good point. I think that language is very important and something that you will have a lot of trouble with if you aren't very good at it.
Also, many people are able to get jobs because of their firm grasp of language and their people skills, which could solve their money problems.
However, I think there are many other skills that contribute to being able to handle money and maintaining friendships than math and language skills. It is a bit more complicated, but I agree with your overall argument.

Overall, I agree that communication skills are probably the most important. Even to be a successful business person, you must have good communication skills. Not all businesses require great math skills and you can always hire other people with great math skills to do that for you. But your home life and your relationships do require good language skills.
