Science
of Life Studies 24/7 meaning
Science of Life Studies 24/7 alternative logo
'Science of Life' comes from the concept that if every child could be
scientifically shown the challenges and possibilities they would face in life
and also shown their true self, they will be able to prepare and develop all
the skills needed to live a great life. 'Life' constitutes all the time (24
hours a day, 7 days a week), and is represented now. Not the future, or after
life only.
'Science of Life' is also the name of the comprehensive program for
personal and youth development which is taught exclusively in all SOLS 24/7
training centers. This program explores human potential through a series of
concepts, discussions, activities and real life examples dealing with topics
such as 'Leadership', 'Character Development', 'Responsibility', 'Love &
Unity', 'Righteousness', 'Dynamism' and much more.
