Everybody  out there know quite well that the school education is essential, but it’s not sufficient.

School education provides the students with tons of knowledge and information they need to know.

They are exposed to millions of pieces of information about different disciplines,

knowledge in books …… endless list.

But no one talks about that that school education lacks practicality and

implementation. This education has no skills to teach its students to face this

competitive world.

It depends on the “one-size-fits-all” principle which lacks the individuality differences,

and the various abilities and interests of most of the students.

On the other hand, that concept doesn’t fit this crazy world, which is full of hunger

people for growth and success.

That is why the majority of students intend to take training courses besides their

ordinary education.

Unfortunately, some of them simply dropped off to learn more skills that benefit them,

and make them capable to face this fast-paced world.

They believe that these new skills will expose them to multiple chances to get their

dream jobs.

Surprisingly enough, that is because the school education is not enough for them to

achieve what they want in their life.

Let’s talk nitty-gritty

Besides some majors and hard skills you need to master, there are massive numbers of

other life and business skills you are oblivious to.

And now we will talk about these skills as they are significant and essential to be

taught.

Let’s dive in

Empathy

Unfortunately, our Empathy is selective. We are biased in our feelings towards some people, some incidents.

Some people are kind of racists when it comes to religion, race, color ….. the list goes on.

To feel Empathy for others is a virtue. We need to care about each other, feeling Empathy reflects our humanity.

Regardless the fights you are going through your life, don’t lose this virtue in deep inside you.

This important skill you need to be learned.

Conflict Resolving

Have you ever been in a fight over words with your colleagues or your friends?

then you reacted in a very sever way. It was furious reaction, and later you regret it so much!

Always happens, right?

That’s because you didn’t manage your emotions, you released that anger energy and let it devastates every green around you.

That is why you must learn to resolve any conflict without losing your temper.

Learn to respond, not to react.

Responding in an effective way will enhance the situation and will make you managing your emotions faster and stronger.

 Managing your emotions, and having those few seconds to think and visualize the consequences before you respond in the critical situations is a real skill not all the people can do.

Conflict is unavoidable in this high-tech, high speed world.

 As the people are mostly in bad temper and hold huge responsibilities upon their shoulders, which make them vulnerable to any small disagreement or opposing opinions.

Nevertheless, you can change this perspective with learning how to resolve the conflict and alter your respond to the situation.

Ask Great Questions

The art of asking questions is frequently ignored by the schools and universities.

Most of the time people ask vague, useless questions, and nobody has ever tried to correct this concept for you.

This art is a powerful skill; it has to be taught to people.

It’s essential in communication.

The good communicator is the one who is able to ask great questions to have great answers from the people around.

The good communicator motivates others to dig deep in themselves and explore their thoughts and ideas. The one who urges people to be

Negotiation

Another essential skill is ignored. Nevertheless, it’s the most needed skill in the market today.

To avoid conflict from the very beginning in any aspect in your life, you are in deep need to learn this skill which is The “Negotiation”.

To be able to negotiate means that you’re able to make a deal, win- win business situation.

However, if you’re not fully aware with this skill, which basically means you will lose a lot.

You are going to miss huge benefits in business and even in your social life.

Knowing this skill makes you assertive and confident enough to know your rights and seek to make the best out of them.

 On the other hand, ignoring such powerful skill adds no value in your practical life, as you will fall an easy prey for anyone who will use you, and try to make benefits at your cost.

It’s surely another best way for good communication.

Making Money

One of the greatest sins that schools do that it never teaches us how to make save or invest money.

Making money is an essential skill that should be taught and learned. School should start to teach kids how to make money to reinforce the roots of entrepreneurship in kids souls and mind as todays’ market demands more of creative business men/women and entrepreneurs.

Body Language

As there is a verbal type of communication, also there is a non- verbal type which is truly essential to be aware of others communication postures and gestures.

You will know more about people and their attitude towards you without even speaking with them.

You will know the things they say and the things they don’t say.

Sounds amazing, right?

It’s important to know how to talk to people to know them better, but it’s more importantly to know their body language which it has tremendous secrets behind the scenes.

Their eye contact, body gestures, their vibes towards you.

Add to do this, you’ll be in a position to know more about people and know exactly how to deal with them in a proper way.

Moreover, this will benefit you in business as you’ll be fully aware of the unspoken language of your clients, and their vibes towards you and your business.

On the other hand, it will be amazing to handle all the situations you may face in your personal life as you become not oblivious to the body language of your family members.

Generally speaking, the knowledge you’ve been learned for almost your life time is not enough to go fearlessly into this crazy life.

You need to wrap up this knowledge with more skills and big action.

I mean by this actionable perspective that you need to master like these essential skills, some among others, to be able to handle situations and face fearlessly and courageously any situation to get what you deserve in this life

Keep in mind that education is not an ending process; it’s a long journey throughout your life.

Brian Tracy once said: “be a lifelong student, the more you learn, the more you earn, the more self-confidence you will be.”
