Three Pillar Skills

I have written a little bit previously about three pillar skills. So what are they?

Three pillar skills are skills that relate to critical thinking, self sufficiency, and self defense: what we call the three pillars of adulthood. These three broad categories define the core essence of what it means to be an adult: the ability to think and make decisions, the ability to provide for ones self, and the ability to defend ones self from harm. With these skills, we are at mercy of external forces that do not generally have our best interests in mind.

Growing up means more than being old enough to buy beer, drive, and have a job. Growing up means taking your life into your own hands. Being a child means leaving your life somebody else's.
