What, in your opinion, are three things that everyone should do well?

[SnowedIn]

Doesn't have to be your top three or your only three. Just three things that you think that everyone should do well.

Here are mine:

1. Be able to cook at least one complete meal.

2. Write a thank you note (whatever the medium it's sent through).

3. Read.

1. Save your money. Do not be wasteful or frivolous.
2. Understand the U. S. Constitution (or whatever system of government your country has.)
3. Communicate respectfully. (Be more like the British. They're kicking everyone's ass as far as this is concerned.)

[SnowedIn]

Particularly like the know your government part.

[Jamie05rhs]

Thanks!

[Jamie05rhs]

Read and write.
Earn a living.
Grow food.

[SnowedIn]

"grow food". I love that. So cool. I can maybe keep a pine tree alive on a good day. On the other hand I've kept my kids alive. 🤣

[Lliam]

Then ya done good. :-)
A lot of people don't even know where food comes from. Knowing how to grow food could come in handy. It's interesting to see how veggies grow, instead of just seeing the finished products on grocery store shelves. Plus fresh veggies are healthier and taste better.

[SnowedIn]

So true. Nothing like fresh green beans or corn or tomatoes.

Taking accountability for your actions

Prioritizing education

Learning basic life skills

[SnowedIn]

Wonderfully insightful. Well said.

[Dnice1]

Be kind

Be helpful

Work hard

[SnowedIn]

This is wonderful. And you have them in the right order, too.

[AmandaYVR]

Good q.

1. Manage their finances, no matter what their income.

2. Be able to feed themselves healthy meals, not relying on restaurants.

3. Treat others with basic respect, even strangers.

Bonus? 4. Give themselves their own orgasm.

[SnowedIn]

These are FANTASTIC thoughts. I like the bonus... that's actually something folks should better learn, I think.

[AmandaYVR]

Thank you, Snowed. 🙏

These are AWESOME! Thank you for sharing!

1) Do unto others as you would have them do unto yourself.

2) See #1.

3) See #1.

[SnowedIn]

#1 really does apply three times, you're right.

[Chazmatazz269]

Be meaningfully informed and be completely honest all the time.

[SnowedIn]

[berwise13]

That list is good the one thing I would add is everyone should be able to read a tape measure

[SnowedIn]

Brilliant! Very useful skill.
