“Rich in eyes, poor in hands” – our ancestors have summarized it like that for thousands of years. Indeed, life always holds countless surprises, and if we are not well prepared, we can easily be swept away by its currents. So, what is the necessity of equipping ourselves with life skills? Why can’t we “go into life empty-handed” and need “luggage” of essential life skills? Life skills psychology books can help you answer this question.
Why Are Life Skills So Important?
Do you remember the story of the young man who, after graduating from university with honors, encountered countless difficulties when applying for a job just because he didn’t know how to write a professional job application email? Or the young woman, despite being beautiful and talented, who always faced obstacles in relationships just because she didn’t know how to control her emotions?
These are just two of many typical examples showing that professional knowledge alone is not enough; life skills are the golden key to opening the door to success in life.
Life Skills – A Powerful Weapon for Young People
According to Dr. Nguyen Van A, a leading expert in life skills education in Vietnam, “Life skills are like an immune system, helping us cope with challenges and upheavals in life flexibly and effectively.”
Imagine, when faced with a difficult situation, how would you react if you were not equipped with problem-solving skills? Or when work pressure hits, how would you manage if you didn’t have time management and stress management skills? What is the definition of skills? It is the ability to respond flexibly to the situations you encounter.
