Life Skills

Youth are considered as the most productive members of the society, due to their physical and intellectual capacity. But it is sad to recognize the fact that most of the youth are unable to utilize their potential in an appropriate way due to lack of guidance and motivation. Now a days a large number of youth engaged in antisocial activities which create a lot of social problems like alcoholism, drug abuse, sexual abuse, smoking etc. These habits deteriorate their physical and intellectual capabilities and also seem to be a burden to the society.

Youths are engaged in many antisocial activities and which adversely affecting other members of the society. These high risk behaviors affecting society in a large extend. This new challenge requires immediate and effective responses from a socially responsible system of education. It may be noted that to date, no university or board of school education has come forward to initiate such a programme in the country which may be beneficial to our young people. In this connection life skill education plays a very vital role to increase the awareness among the youth about all social problems and to alleviate social evils from the society.

Life skill education helps the individual to improve the decision making skill, ability to take every thing in the right sense and also improve their contributions to the society.If you have a problem waking up on time, or doing what you know you need to be doing when you should be doing it, then your success in life is doubtful.Another life skill which is indispensable is an ability to work with and recognize authority. No matter how high you rise in life, there will always be someone you answer to. If you're the type of person who has a problem with authority, you're not going to go very far.

As I always like to say: someone is going to tell you what to do, one way or another. It could be your boss or client, or it could be a prison guard, but someone is going to tell you what to do.Individuals who are argumentative, or who always think their way is the right way, are people who won't go far, because they will make so many enemies and burn so many bridges that no one will want to deal with them.
