Tony Wagner has a list of "Seven Survival Skills."

Polonius told his son Laertes 14 pieces of advice, saying, "These few precepts ..."

At West Hollywood Private School, we have collected over 90 skills and tips that we have found valuable.  We found these tips in the writings of Confucius, Shakespeare, Churchill, and Ann Landers (and her sister Dear Abby).  We want to share these tips and skills with you under the name of 87 Skills.  There are 12 GLobal SKills, perhaps 7 Survival Skills, and at least one Golden Rule.

You can get the free Ebook, available in Chinese, English and Spanish.

And you can submit your own suggestions after you look at the list.  There is an unorganized list growing below.  You don't have to agree with the wording (and we teachers are arguing every week about how to add to the list).  But you can be sure we will spark interest.

Coming in 2017:  The 87 Skills App, available for Android and Apple phones.
