As children grow into adults, they become capable of doing more things for themsleves. 

Being an adult means more self-sufficiency; looking after one’s own needs. 

Young people need to develop themselves, both in character traits, and in jobs skills. 

Job skills, and with positive character traits, increase the opportunities for young adults to live happy, productive lives. 

The point of this section is to tell you about things you can learn to make your life richer,

jobs skills that make you more employable,

things to make you capable of owning a successful business,

which will also make you a better parent.
