Did You Miss School? NO PROBLEM.

Did You Miss School?  NO PROBLEM.

Did You Miss School?  NO PROBLEM.  Yes we did learn a lot in school, no debate on that.  Having said this, there are some things that you DON'T.  These LIFE LESSONS are NOT taught in school.  It would help if you learned them the HARD WAY though.  True, school teaches us the sound fundamentals to be successful in life.  Name it.  Math.  Science.  And even History📗📙📘

BUT, we hope we reach a consensus here that NOT everything is taught in school.  To name a few of these LIFE LESSONS:

SWOT - Strength, Weakness, Opportunities and Threats.  Acknowledging your strengths and weaknesses is one of the biggest challenges you will face in your life.  We need to take a long and hard look in the mirror and find out WHAT we are good at and HOW our strengths can help us succeed💦💦💦

MANAGE EXPECTATIONS - A big chunk of the disconnects in our life is caused by EXPECTATIONS not being aligned between the person executing OR delivering something versus his stakeholder to whom that expectation is vested.  As it is normal that two expectations CAN'T be identical at the outset, MANAGING EXPECTATIONS is a MUST-DO not just for alignment but being on the same page pre-empts the probability of a disconnect.  As we all have different expectations, and we like to project unto others WHAT we deem as important, we tend to count on others to have the same OR similar expectations as we do💧💧💧

CRITICAL THINKING - Unfortunately, even psychologists admit that CRITICAL THINKING is a learned ability that must be taught.  Unfortunately, most individuals NEVER learn CRITICAL THINKING, putting everything in their lives at risk.  Frankly, CRITICAL THINKING involves logical analysis and comprehension of the links between concepts, making it a fundamental skill for success.  WHAT happens if we DON'T have this ability?  We may fail to process and analyze information effectively💥💥💥

Our takeaway:  Much as we spend close to two decades in school [till we graduate from university], there are tons of LIFE LESSONS we need to learn by heart.  You might ask, are there consequences if we DON'T learn those LIFE LESSONS?  Yes, there are tons of ramifications and we can't understate the importance of all these LIFE LESSONS.  Heard of folks who even graduated With Honors from their university but have been noticeably flops in their real life?  Quite a lot though but that jinx can be cut and cut clean if we acknowledge the need for us to pick up and lear these LIFE LESSONS way after we have stepped out of our school's portals✅✅✅
