If you could instantly max out one of your skills, what would it be?

I knew a guy at university., a friend of a friend who was a smooth talker but also a scumbag. For example, he had a girlfriend back home but had a lot of one night stands. He cheated on his "girlfriend" constantly. She was none the wiser and as far as I know, faithful to him.

Anyway, he didn't attend many classes and eventually dropped out (or maybe was kicked out). Not to worry tough, because he is "an entrepeneur". Which you should read as "scam artist". Started some pyramid scheme (he admitted this to our mutual friend).

He did a lot of travelling for "work" and continued to cheat on his, at this point live-in girlfriend. She found out and one day he came back from a business trip, in the middle of the night to a completely empty house (his girlfriend had paid for the house and the furniture).

His scam survived a bit longer than his relationship but that also in the process of collapsing. Kind of nice to see that there is some karma in the world.
