8 things that should be taught in school

This week’s letter was inspired by jade bonacolta.

In a newsletter I read earlier this last year, “the quiet rich” jade talked about life skills that she thinks people should be taught in school and honestly I couldn’t agree moreeee.

And without wasting time,

Let’s get into it

THE 8 SKILLS are:
• Emotional intelligence: How to understand + validate emotions.
• Personal finance: How to invest wisely for long-term goals (+ do taxes).
• Public speaking: How to communicate eloquently (+ great storytelling skills)
• Time management: How to organize your calendar to prioritize the right things(+ be on time).
• Self-discipline: How to keep up healthy habits and reach your goals.
• Critical thinking: How to question existing beliefs to make an informed choice.
• Negotiation: How to think creatively about out-of-the-box solutions.
• Charisma: How to strike up a conversation with anyone (+ ask great questions.

And that’s all for today :)
