The gist of life lies not in length but the strength of skills.
‘Life skills’ are the skills needed to deal well and effectively with the challenges of life.
As per a report of UNICEF, “The Basic Life skills provides readily available tools to deal with challenges/demands of daily lives the youth face, from managing their emotions to make an informed decision”.
Along with academic knowledge, a lot of other skills such as personal finance, filing taxes, self-defense, yoga, swimming, cooking, dancing, driving a car, using a computer etc. are required in long term to live a happy and prosperous life.
One requires life skills to move forward. These not only help in survival but also help develop one’s personality, talents, and mental and physical abilities.
Once a skill is acquired, it pays back whole life.
