school can teach you many things but it rarely teaches you what you really need
to know so in today's Listbomb we cover the top five life skills not taught in
school. Starting off today's list at number 5: learning from failure
regardless of what your parents told you life sucks and if you let it it will
destroy you
there's a modern trend of quote and quote equality in schools and sports
that avoids teaching kids how to properly deal with failure they say it's
to preserve every child sense of self-confidence and as a result kids are
not being told when their efforts are substandard the problem with this is
that there's no such atmosphere in general society
no one thinks you're special no one prioritizes your well-being or
self-esteem above their own in the real world substandard work results in
negative consequences such as losing one's job
this lack of failure experience has a tendency to make children mediocre
,fearful of taking risks, and quite frankly, sends them into the world in
capable of navigating life's inevitable ups and downs. Number 4: Cooking
you are what you eat is the same and so many people these days he processed and
take-out food it's no wonder why the rate of heart disease and diabetes is
that much higher today than it was in the past with home cooking the
ingredients and dishes can be controlled and the portions commiserate with one's
appetite cooking at home is generally healthier and saves money
number three finding a job the goal of an education is twofold one to learn for
the sake of learning IE self-development and two to prepare you to enter the
workforce and become a self-sufficient contributing member of society
the issue here is that why you may learn the skills required for a job in school
it doesn't actually teach you how to get that job things like writing a cover
letter resume the interview process and employment contracts are detrimental to
your future
unfortunately schools don't teach them number two taxes Benjamin Franklin going
the popular saying in this world nothing can be said to be certain except death
and taxes this held true when Benjamin Franklin uttered those words and it
still holds true today
taxes are something that every working person is required to pay and file the
tax forms are intimidating for most people because even a small mistake can
cost you a lot of money doing taxes is something everyone should know how to do
especially considering that schools are funded by your taxes so it only makes
sense that schools would teach you how to pay your taxes but unfortunately they
don't number one critical thinking what is critical thinking essentially
critical thinking is about being an active learner rather than a passive
recipient of information critical thinkers rigorously question ideas and
assumptions rather than accepting them at face value and they always seem to
determine whether ideas arguments and findings represent the entire picture
now this may be a bold statement with some of the greatest inventors
businessmen and influential people in history where critical thinkers fame
fortune and notoriety are very strong possibilities for someone with a
critical mind now if you don't already think critically
don't worry you're not generally born with it it's something that you have to
learn the easiest way to start is to simply put question everything so cute
