What do you think are some important life skills?

[Amarah0]

Especially ones you should learn before adulthood

[MCheetah]

For men:

- Stoicism; learning that life sucks for most men and how to remain calm and endure all that.
- Handiwork and shop class; how to fix things on your own, with the proper tools.
- Tax filing and money management; how to file your own taxes and everything you need to know with them, as well as how to not spend your money like a low IQ rapper.
- Three to six months of basic military training; not saying this should be mandatory, but it would help a LOT of directionless, lost men out there.

For women:

- Class and dignity; learning how to not be a slut or whore and have self-respect.
- Basic human decency and manners; how to treat others with respect, kindness, and empathy.
- Self-defense classes; especially for idiotic women who think men somehow also don't have to deal with danger when walking home alone at 2am through the middle of Gary, Indiana; as if you're not already a retard for doing that.
- Basic cooking; actually a good idea for both genders; in fact.

Probably the most important life-lesson isn't necessarily a skill but, still difficult to get right.

Always be yourself and, crucially, always be proud of who you are. Don't expect to be brilliant at everything but also, never doubt yourself. We all have our limits in certain areas but, we all have our strengths and those are what define who we are. Life's a struggle, a grind, it can wear you down if you let but it can't keep you there if don't. You control your future, you write your own story. Never let anyone tell you otherwise. 🙂

Money management, critical thinking, interpersonal skills, empathy, self-awareness and resilience are some of them.

Putting yourself first always is the main skill you have to master.

There's no Super man or Wonder woman like you see on TV with fictional characters that are going to save you or take care of you.

No one is going to look out for you better than yourself. You seriously better learn that now.

A crap load of financial education. Investing. How banks steal your money by loaning out your savings for astronomical APRs making thousands of dollars while giving you pennies on your savings. Compound interest. Gold and silver. Pension plans, retirement plans and investing in real estate.

Having read most of the answers here so that hopefully I don’t repeat anything - learn how to say “no” (some people just can’t say no), and learn how to swim if you haven't already 🙂 two good life skills I feel.

Manage money.

I see so many people who make more than I do but they are always broke because they need to have expensive toys and take expensive vacations.
