by or with

Coild I use either by or with in this sentence. If yes, which is preferred?

Skills can be developed by hours of hard work and dedication.

Personally, I would be more likely to say "developed through hours of hard work..."

Thank you! I would also appreciate it If would tell me what you think about the question I have regarding this sentence:

I would like to know what you think regarding this question.

Is the word 'regarding' appropriate in that sentence? Is it used correctly?

Hi

Yes, that's OK, especially if it is an important question or issue. In other contexts you might say:

- I'd like to know what you think about this question.
