Skills you need to learn for a better life

Studying to earn a degree is not the height of becoming educated. Actually, education goes beyond the four walls of a classroom and into the streets and world at large. The truth is you need certain skills to survive and live a quality life and some of these skills are not exactly in school curriculums.
Inorder to broaden your learnings, survive and live a quality life, learn the following skills:

1. Swimming: Learning to swim is a survival skill that could come in handy and help save one’s life.

2. Driving: You don’t have to wait until you have a car or until you want to get a job as a driver to learn to drive. Driving is a survival skill that could save a life in an emergency.
Imagine you’re in a car with someone else driving and the person suffers a heart attack in the middle of nowhere and needs to be rushed to the hospital. Or you’re in a car driven by someone else and you’re attacked and the person gets shot. Now, it’s your responsibility to drive the car to escape your attackers, but you can’t drive. I know, I watch lots of movies. But driving is an important skill everyone should learn.

3. First aid, CPR, and care for a sick or injured person: Most Nigerians do not know how to perform CPR. Most don’t know what to do when a person is dying, choking, suffering a heart attack, convulsing, e.t.c.

4. At least one money-making skill:
To be independent we must all learn at least one money making skill. It could be anything: Sewing, coding, flying a plane, whatever. Just learn a money-making skill, be the best you can be at it, then monetize it.

5. Interpersonal skills:
Interpersonal skills is all about learning how to relate with other humans.
When you have a good relationship with people around you, the quality of your life improves and doors are opened for you. We all need people, so we need to learn to relate well with the people around us.
