                 Following are some of the skills you must master to succeed in life:
                 •  Self-awareness: Pay attention to what people say about your strengths, and areas where you can improve. Also,
                   take time to reflect on your daily interactions with others. Think about the situations you handled well, and those
                   you could have managed better.
                 •  Responsibility: It means being accountable for your tasks and actions. It is crucial for personal growth. Taking
                   responsibility shows that you are reliable and committed to improving yourself, even when things don’t go as
                   planned. For instance, if a teacher gives you an assignment, make sure you take full responsibility for it. This means
                   doing your best to complete it on time. If you can not finish it on time, you should inform the teacher about the
                   delay, and work on fixing the issue.
                 •  Time Management: Time management is about organising your tasks effectively to make the most of your time. It
                   is important to prioritise what needs to be done, focusing on the most important tasks first. This means identifying
                   what is urgent, and what can wait.
                 •  Adaptability: Adaptability is the ability to adjust to new situations, and changes. To be adaptable, it is important to
                   keep yourself updated with the latest practices, and stay informed about new information.
