Self Knowledge Skills
To know who you are, who you can become, where you belong and how you can excel in life.


To know what your life purpose is and the things that create meaning and bring joy into your life.


To understand the challenges, opportunities, and obstacles in each life stage and be able to maximize the benefits each brings to you.


Work Skills
To know how the business world works as defined by the worldwide labor market, global economics, industry dynamics company structures, hiring practices and career paths.


To be an intelligent, productive, hard working and ethical employee or employer.


To not only be self sustainable, but to earn a good living -- enough to be able to provide adequate food, shelter, clothing, education and medical care for you and your loved ones.


Managing Money Skills

To not only be able to do simple math, but handle money, budget, spend and save wisely.

To be able to identify obstacles, understand their impact and significance, and know how to overcome them or go around them.



Communication Skills
To not only be able to read well, but be literate in all the best examples of the written word so you can spot common themes and think about universal ideas.


To be able to not only write, but communicate well with others about your thoughts, feelings, ideas, opinions, tastes, preferences, values and beliefs.

And if you are already grown up, you can create a list of your own to reflect the needs of your environment and your dreams.
