Important skill

I think the useful and important skill for a person to make a more better life is E.Q. and social contact. E.Q. can let people handle difficult problems by using easy way or not so serious attitude to treat problems and get along with others. It also can make you express your thought funny and useful. Social contact is about the talking skill. I think talking skill is more important than E.Q. You must practice your talking skill to expand the interpersonal relationship. Besides it also can let you easier break the ice with people , such as classmate or co-worker who you first meet. Talking skill is important for everybody, but it is also difficult to improve and practice. Maybe someone would say language is important, but I think the above-mentioned skills are definitely basic tools for language, for everyone. Right?
