The document discusses skills and manipulative skills. It argues that while teachers, textbooks, and films can be dull, subjects themselves are not inherently dull. It then defines a skill as the learned ability to efficiently achieve predetermined results using minimal time and energy. Finally, it mentions manipulative skills but does not further define them before ending.
