I would add: How to love and be loved. Practical skills are great but they don't hug you when you have had a bad day or laugh with you when just need to laugh to put things in perspective. Love doesn't conquer all but it can make you feel whole and special. And that makes tackling the practical stuff much easier in the long run.
I agree i will add that :-)
Oops! Looks like I'm going to have a busy year! :-S x
I like the last one...it's probably the most difficult on the list, but potentially life-changing...in some cases even life-saving.
