Life skills are important, too!

It’s easy to think that school life is all about how ¹ you are; in other words, your ability to understand things. However, good life skills help you more than intelligence, at school and beyond.

One key skill is how ² you are. That is, you believe that you can do things successfully. It’s important to build this skill because it helps with many areas of life. Once you believe in yourself, you can start being ³ , using your imagination, which is helpful in all subjects, not just the arts.

Another life skill, which is a new school subject in some areas, is ⁴ . This teaches you how to think clearly and ask questions. Part of this subject also involves ⁵ . Students develop the ability to identify a problem and work out a solution. Also, students learn how to work well with others which is all part of another key skill– ⁶ .

Of course, traditional skills are important too, such as ⁷ , knowing information about the world around you. And don’t forget about being ⁸ , which means that you always put in a lot of effort, as that’s the secret to many people’s success.
