How about empathy and self control? How about humility? These 3 skills are sorely needed.


I very much agree with the Buddhist thought process that compassion, empathy are pivotal to well-being. I was a bit disappointed that these were absent from the list. In my opinion they are foundational in regards to points 4 through 7.


Empathy is probably the greatest thing we could teach children or anyone for that matter.

We do a very poor job in general of teaching emotional skills such as these in schools.
