CRITICAL THINKING
 An important life-skill as it
inculcates the tendency to
evaluate information objectively
and from wider perspectives.
CREATIVE THINKING
 Refers to seeing and analyzing
ways. It helps us in having new
perspectives about things and
allows us to have out-of-box
thinking.
 Creative thinking requires
flexibility, so that while attempting
to solve a problem we are not
stuck to a given way of solution
whether or not it is working.
IMPORTANCE OF LIFE SKILLS
 It teaches us how to make our
lives easier and simpler, how to
live a positive life, and how to
spend our time wisely.
 It hones the ability to adapt to a
variety of situations and succeed
in all aspects of society.
