'In life LIFE SKILLS are the vitals and most essentials. Without life skills, we can not live and entire life is a waste and all the ACADEMIC SKILLS, INTELLIGENCE, PROFESSIONAL SKILLS etc are only secondary and should be built around the life skills and without life skills they lose their meaning, importance and value!

Dear all...THIS IS FOR ALL SCHOOL/COLLEGE CHILDREN AND PARENTS...

Today the professional and social life have become highly competitive. Any time we may lose our job. Losing a job changes our life upside down in no time. Even if both spouse are working it does create a real or psychological distress.

Today getting a job is difficult due to competition. Organisations also find it too difficult to survive amidst competitions and turbulent economy world over. Mergers, diversification are too common in the complex dynamics.

So, moment we are born the stress starts. Schooling and college education have become too stressful. More than the children, parents are too stressful. They are more anxiety struck, sad or frustrated, worry-some, 'fear of unknown future' in the mind always. They are also highly stressed due to their uncertain stressful job issues.

The normal day-to-day living itself has become too complex with the phone ringing all the time with notifications, messages, far too many diversions, social obligations, visits, functions, too many friends, stressful relationships, too many suggestions-guidance and confusions, timelessness for every job, every time, no time to eat-sleep-rest-entertain etc resulting in body full of life style diseases and mind full of turbulence and NO PEACE.

So, first what is required in life?

Is it INTELLIGENCE?...Are all intelligent people successful, peaceful, happy and healthy?...Are all intelligent people getting jobs and doing their jobs well, happy in their jobs etc?

So, what is required, what is high priority, and paramount importance in life is LIFE SKILLS!!

Ability to keep our self healthy, happy, peaceful, stable, able to handle life situations in personal, professional and social life situations in a positive manner, confidence in handling any eventuality in life at home-office and social life, ability to take people along, ability to keep people and relationships at home-office and social life happy and together, being a good leader, being a good motivator, being a good manager of handling resources around, being adaptable, being flexible, adjusting with any kind of food, climate, dress code, appearance, rules and regulations of the land, society, language, caste, religion, other cultural/social sensitivities...These are the first and foremost in life!!

WITHOUT GETTING LIFE SKILLS FOCUSING ON ANY PROFESSIONAL SKILLS, ACADEMIC SKILLS OR INTELLIGENCE IS A WASTE!!!!!

To get life skills...

1. Parents should eat and live a healthy life, carry out good, healthy life style habits and activities at home...e.g yoga, meditation, positive speeches, improving moral values and ethics of living and life etc.

2. Positive life styles of eating, exercising, yoga, meditation, positive moral values and ethics of life should be the basic and fulcrum of life and primary/vital for children and everything else like academic skills, intelligence etc are secondary/essential should be built over or around the life skills.

Peacefully yours...rams...health psychologist.
