I learned this, at least, by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.
…and so I did, but it wasn’t an easy passage.
What an odd way to begin an “about” page, isn’t it? But then again, isn’t the same true for our future? We work hard through education in order to prepare for our future jobs and when we get there we realise that, despite having acquired the highest level of knowledge in human history in order to get our degrees, we lack the skills necessary to actually work, in a future radically transformed by globalisation, digitalisation and other notions that weren’t there while we were studying. Furthermore, that doesn’t just impact how jobs are changing, but the very way we go about our everyday activities and communicate with each other.
We’ve been preparing for the future, having no idea what that future will be like.
How to deal with it then?
Luckily, we’ve been long enough in this for several studies to be made and relevant frameworks to be developed that describe what skills are required for people to live and work successfully in the future, often called 21st century skills.
Not only that, but there are also related methods of experiential learning, developed for people to gain those skills in an engaging way that also helps retain them.
I’ve learned them the hard way so you won’t have to.
