In this article, Mark Manson says that there are three "important" life skills we were never taught. The first one is to stop taking things so personally. This one is hard for me because I do take everything personally. I am a very sensitive person. Everyone always tells me not to take things so personally but I cannot up out of the blue just stop doing that. I wish I could because it would be a lot easier, but I just cannot. The second life skill he states is how to be persuaded and change your mind. It is just like changing your mind. He says in the article that you are wrong most of the time so it is okay to change your mind. You can admit that you are wrong. It is actually a good thing. You can change your mistake. The last thing is how to act without knowing the result. This means that we never know what we are doing. We just DO things. Do I really like a girl with a plan? No, and neither do you. You just learn as you go.
