Life skills enable us to translate knowledge, attitude and values into actual abilities – ie. “what to do and how to do it.” Life skills are a set of core abilities sometimes described as emotional intelligence. The ten generic life skills are: self-awareness, empathy, effective communication, interpersonal relationships, the ability to manage emotions and cope with stress, creative thinking, critical thinking, decision-making, and problem-solving. All of the ten skills are interdependent and none of them stand alone. For example, for communication skills – in order to decide what to say and how to say it effectively –one needs self- awareness and empathy. One even needs to think creatively and critically. Those “skills” or put simply, abilities, are mechanisms that help us conduct a conversation, make a pitch, and put a point across without ever noticing it. To cope with emotions, you need to talk to your best friend. When you make a decision, you need to communicate with the people concerned with that decision and try to persuade them to accept it. These skills are inter-related and reinforce each other. Together, they are responsible for our psychosocial competence, building our self-esteem and self-efficacy, to nurture holistic self-development
