Soft skills and Life Skills are widely heard and the least understood concept in India . Even if it is understood by some , it is predominantly misinterpreted . It is often being understood as personality grooming and almost all the Soft & Life Skill Training Programs on this subject attempts to bring only cosmetic changes in the participants . From psychology point as well as from practical realization & experience point of view we undestand and appreciate Soft & Life skills more as Non - Academic skills rather than as they are popularly known as .
Why do we call them " Non - Academic Skill " ? The reason is simple . In today's India , for success in life we definitely need to have academic affluency , no second thought on this . But is it sufficient ? Are we all , academically brilliants / good , are as successful in life as we are / were in our School & College and University ? Most often the answer is NO .
Here comes the relevance and importance of the term " Non - Academic Skills " . But why are we not as successful in real life ??
Our academic upbringing almost always happen under a structured and by and large organized format , be it the school / college / university curriculum or the preachings that we get from others during our growing up years . Which ever school we might have been , which ever board we might have been on , this holds true . Has any body ever told you - " Do Not Study Well ? " Of Course No....
But how scientifically we have been brought up as far as other than Academic upbringing is concerned ?? Probably Most Un - Scientifically. What ever we learnt , we learnt from our experiences . Isn't it True for You and Us both ?? Yet , People around us expects us to be Highly Successful in life , at least as successful as we were during our school and college days . Here comes the relevance and importance of Non - Academic Skills . Do we have it in us ??
If Not Lets be Cautious About this !!!! We can't do anything about our past . But , What about our Future ?? Yes , it's Very Much Under Our Control . So ?? Let's Build it UP !!!!!!
