I think 27 and 28 are critical to show about taking care of Life and
not just things

Speaking of which...
30. Dress a wound
31. Comfort a frightened child
32. Rock a crying baby to sleep
33. Cook a meal from basic ingredients
34. Speak in front of large groups
35. Play a musical instrument - any instrument
36. Open a clogged drain

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion,
butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance
accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders,
give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new
problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight
efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.
