Expanding your skills

Developing crucial life skills are necessary to succeed in life.  Most of these skills are out of bound in traditional or mainstream learning process.  If we wish to and if we are lucky enough to realise the usefulness of these skills, we may acquire these skills by hard and laborious ways of trial and error.  To succeed in life, we need to appreciate and acquire the skills needed to help us get by, flourish and succeed in life. It is crucial that we become competent in these skills and acquire the confidence to see us through the challenges and opportunities that life present to us.  Merely acquiring these skills will never be enough without the element of self-analysis and self-feedback.  It is crucial to remember that without the process of self-feedback and self-analysis we are likely to quit before we give these skills the chance to be developed and mastered. Quitting prematurely leads to cynicism, negativity and also results in the negative habit of giving up at the slightest sign of difficulty.

• Self-Reliance
