Logical reasoning and interpretation:
Teach students to be reasonable in all their conversations and dealings with people and institutions around them. Students must be able to logically explain their point of view on things, with precision and accuracy. Aiming to arrive at the best answer may be situational.
Comparing ideas, analyzing evidences, drawing suitable and apt conclusions would fortify their interpretation skills.

Complex future for students? Ways to prepare them

Being responsible:
As mentioned success comes when one becomes responsible. Students must be taught how to take up responsibilities. This will enable them to make decisions according to the changing circumstances without being dependable. This teaches them to be independent.

To be creative:
Creativity is a stream that never stops flowing. The moment a person becomes creative, numerous opportunities open up. These opportunists are vital for survival as they lead students to keep growing their knowledge. The moment there is no creativity, life becomes stagnant with no positive results. Hence, the students have to be taught how to use their subconscious mind, which is the storage of innovations.

To think in a broad spectrum:
Limiting oneself can be a the worst thing to do. If students stick to thinking in box they will never be able to cope with the changing world. They must be taught to think in all aspects so that they will be able to decide what best can be done in a worst situation.
