All good ones!

My additions:

1) Financial planning and management
2) Working with a diverse group of people
3) Communication - writing, reading, speaking
4) Time management
5) Using logic to make informed decisions
6) Networking
7) Self-discipline
8) Relaxing!

Number 8! Yes, adult life is far too stressful and we all need to find time to relax once in a while.

Although I'm not the greatest as doing this from a mental standpoint (I have no problem relaxing physically), I am quickly learning that stressing about stuff I can't control is pointless. It's a difficult thing to turn off, but I hope I'll get better at it with age.
