Everyone should know these life skills
Life is all about learning and developing who we are as human beings. These essential skills help to shaped who we are, and how we see the world at large. It’s vital to be a critical thinker, decision maker and a great communicator. These skills may be overlook some way or the other but it carries weight in the world we live in.
The most powerful of them all is being a critical thinker, this is my subjective point of view of course. The ability to think is like our own superpower, our thoughts can be manifested, rationalizing a situation can help us developing a sense of understanding. Every parent should emphasize critical thinking to their child, this allow them to see things from their perspective, for instance if a child grows up in a home and his/her parent is associated with a particular political party, while always speaking against the other. In most cases that child may be sucked into the same behavior but once that child can think critically, they now formulate their own believe and would be able to judge the bias. Critical thinking helps us to solve problems, problems that can only be dissected with our ability to think things through.
On the other hand, being a decision maker is another life skill. In the field of business, being able to make decisions is essential, because all faith lies in the decision you make. It’s not the ability to make a decision, anyone can do that but it’s the ability to make a decision that if it falls through, you hold yourself accountable and continue pushing forward. This translate to our everyday life, we make decisions that we may regret, but it important to know that during that moment in which you made that decision. You felt it was the right one to make, until we are face with the adversity of that decision, we must not crumble but the beauty comes in understanding that you have to live with the decision you make and the decisions you continue to make.
Likewise, communication, out of the 3 might be the most overlooked 1. The way in which we communicate is important, we all communicate in some form or the other. However, due to poor communication skills many of us may not know how to speak to others, especially in the workforce. There are some superiors within the workforce environment that feel they can speak to their subordinate however they please. This shouldn’t be the case since no matter who you are speaking to, you should always demonstrate a sign of respect. Communication may also be misunderstood, based on how a person speaks, others might read the wrong energy off that person. This sometime results in arguments between persons where there may have been a simple misunderstanding between the parties.
Life skills are survival skill, to survive in the world we live in. Day by day we should aspire to test these skills in the situations we are faced with in life. There’s gold in being a critical thinker, the firmness to make a decision and the ability to communicate to other gracefully.
