What is ASK?

Let's take a look around!

A 13-year old boy turned to drugs when he broke up with his girlfriend.

A 15-year old girl committed suicide when she was suffered from eve teasing and her family is partially blaming her.

A 16-year old boy lost interest in life because his father forced him into studying medicine

when he wanted to be a computer scientist.

A 14-year old girl’s dream to become a teacher burst like a bubble when her parents asked her to quit school and marry a stranger a few months later.

A fresh university graduate became mentally upset when he realized that he can't represent himself in a Job interview because of his poor English!

That boy and girl, the university graduate had the right knowledge and attitude. However, their behavior did not follow their minds. Haven’t we all had the “I know…..but I can’t help it!” experiences?Besides a youth has a lot of confusions, a number of issues which they can't present to everyone!

Right information and a good attitude do not always lead us to a  responsible behavior. What are missing skill, the ability to act. 

Life skills enable us to translate knowledge, attitude, and values into actual abilities – ie.“ what to do and how to do it.” According to UNICEF,  Life skills area set of core abilities sometimes described as emotional intelligence. The ten generic life skills are self-awareness, empathy, effective communication, interpersonal relationships, the ability to manage emotions and cope with stress, creative thinking, critical thinking, decision-making, and problem-solving.

The importance of all these life skills are often well understood but ignored in the academic life of a person.

Today’s youths need to adapt to everything around them. The world will not change for anyone, a person needs to adopt in this changing world. The mission of ASK is to develop these life skills so that anyone can adopt a positive mindset and can live confidently in C21.
