"THE EIGHT BASIC SKILLS NEEDED TO SUCCEED IN LIFE"

Life requires our best inputs if it will ever be meaningful and fulfilling at all. Success in life does not happen by accident or overnight. It requires a number of important skills that must be mastered, understood and applied correctly to the life situations or the daily challenges of life.

Skills are the abilities that a person who is very deligent in life has acquired over a period of time through training and experience. Skills are the principal weapons of success in life as well as problem-solving power. The absence of life's basic skills in a person is an avenue for failure, misery and problems in life.

The eight principal life skills  required and needed by anyone in life who desires primarily to be successful in any type of life endeavour under the sun are the following skills: Reading Skills, Writing Skills, Communication Skills, Problem-Solving Skills, Critical and Creative Thinking Skills, Teamwork and Collaborative Skills, Listening Skills and Time Management Skills.

Education or schooling is also an avenue for acquring the life's most important skills. Skills are useful in every situation of life. Life challenges vary in their nature and different life skills work uniquely in different life challenges. The Bible has these things to say about skills:Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding - Proverbs 4:7.
