The Four Life Skills

If you observe, the education system is geared towards building skills rather than life skills. Schools create the foundation for college by offering streams such as humanities, science, and commerce. Innumerable courses at college and university teach law, business administration, engineering, finance, medicine, marketing, hospitality, and literary theory. Why is this so? This is because schools and colleges primarily cater to the job market, which will give you money and the ability to lead a good life. While specializing in skills is essential for employment, honing life skills is a much more critical aspect of personal development. So, now the question which arises is: which life skills will help us the most when it comes to marrying spirit and matter? There are four:

Sales
Personal Finance
Mindfulness
Nutrition

Essentially, it introduces you to not only these four life skills but also the twenty-three habits that have shaped the author’s path.
