What skills are neccessary for success in Life?

Personal skills can make you successful in life. Those skills can include honesty, optimism, and social skills. Personal skills have been instilled in us since we were able to know right from wrong and can be refined to get us through life.

Honesty is the most important. Every person looks at others integrity. For example, we look to police officers to serve and protect the people from everyday criminals. But what if the officers that promised and vowed to do just that turn to a criminal themselves. Then who do we look to for protection. Well, not the officers anymore because they broke their promise, they lied. So now the integrity that they up hold is out the window. Honesty is very important not only do we look for honesty in friendships, relationships, but also in every person. Where would we be if honesty was not a skill?

Optimism is actually how we look at everyday situations. I believe that there is a good and a bad to every situation. Things happen for a reason. With the good there is always a bad. However, there are many people who do not think the same as I do. Stress the is leading cause of death just about every year. Wonder why? Well when you have someone that can just take on problem after problem and not look at every aspect of it, well, it can be overwhelming. Take time to breathe. Optimism is a hard skill to even grasp as a concept, but when you worry about what you can fix at that time and not what you can not fix, optimism can slowly become a new or refined skill for anyone.

Social skills are very important. It is how we interact with people on a daily basis. Do you think that someone who is nasty and rude have great social skills? No they do not. You want to treat others like you want to be treated. But unfortunately in today's society social skills are lacking. But if we as people work on this skill little by little everyday, just maybe there can be a change in society and just how we treat each other.

Personal skills are very important and is necessary to for everyday situations. If we just apply these skills to ourselves then dealing with others can be more bearable.
