Remember that adult learners are diverse.
They independently learn things that they
choose to learn. Thus if adult learners stop
flexing, they will stop learning.
Learning is a lifelong process like what flexing
is doing when try to stretch our body parts. It
continuously grows, blood circulation
improves and keeps oxygen travel throughout
our body. These natural anatomical
processes keep us alive. It gives life us.
Like the slang word of the generation, “Flex”,
we can show off if we don’t have it. Same as
learning, we cannot help others learn if we
ourselves are not learning. We can only flex
in life if we have life skills.

Life skills are the skills that a person must
possess in order to successfully live in today's
world. These include knowing how to work at
a job and be part of a team, manage money,
manage time, live as part of a family and
learning effective communication skills.
Unfortunately, many people grow to
adulthood lacking necessary life skills to
successfully thrive in their own lives.
Therefore, life skills training for adults may
become necessary.
According to the Center on the Developing 7-11 8 minutes
Child, Harvard University, we all need a set of
core life skills to manage work, family, and
relationships successfully. These include:
Being able to make plans, Carry them out,
and set and meet goals (PLANNING);
Concentrating on what’s most important at
any given time (FOCUS); Having the ability to
control how we respond to our emotions and
stressful situations (SELF-CONTROL);
Noticing people and situations around us and
how we all fit into the picture (AWARENESS);
Being able to adapt to changing situations
(FLEXIBILITY).
