SUCCESS IN THE 21^ST CENTURY

            There are important things that I think are to be taught to us for us to succeed in the 21^st century. The three most important things are, working with others, comprehension skills, and shutting up skills.

            You can’t expect to be a success if you can’t work with others, because you’re going to have to work with your boss, your co-workers, and maybe even the people that will work for you. Teamwork helps build confidence and trust. You can make new friends as well. Working with others is a very critical thing that you need to know in order to be a success.

            If you don’t have any comprehension skills, there’s no way you’ll survive two minutes in the 21^st century. Comprehending is when you can understand, explain, and evaluate things. It’s also when you get the meaning of something or become aware of what’s happening around you. If you can’t do at least that, you’ll never get a job. The world around you will be more confusing. This is what you should be taught at school. It’s crucial that you are taught this because you’ll have to use it every day for the rest of your life.

            The most important skill to be taught is how to shut up when you’re supposed to.  The most annoying people that you could meet or work with are the people that talk, and talk, and keep talking, but they don’t know when to shut up. Learning to shut up is important because when you need to listen and remember important things, you can’t because you’re the one with the big mouth that keeps interrupting. You talk so much that other people can’t.

            These are the most important things that should be taught in order to succeed in the 21^st century. How to work with others, learn comprehension skills, and shutting up skills. By learning I’m confident that I’ll be a success in the future.
