The Skills You Need To Succeed In 2020
By Avil Beckford – Aug 6, 2018.
The World Economic Forum reports that you need
ten skills to thrive in 2020: complex problem solving;
critical thinking; creativity; people management;
coordinating with others; emotional intelligence;
judgement and decision making; service orientation;
negotiation; cognitive flexibility.
The ten skills on this list make sense fo r the age
that we are living in. Of these, you want to focus on creative work, because that is where you are likely
to remain employable. Every professional can be
creative in the work she does.
You might have started to realize that you will
need more than the ten skills listed earlier. Alvin Toffler
once said, “The illiterate of the 21st century will not
be those who cannot read and write, but those who
cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.”
In some instances, relearning could be adapting
what you know to a new reality. Take cell phones
as an example. When they first came out, they
were used solely as communications devices.
Convergence happened, and now our smartphones
are minicomputers. People had to relearn how to use
a phone.
In terms of work, you will have to adapt some
of your skills to the jobs of the future, and you will
also have to learn new skills. Here are some of the
additional skills that you will need to succeed in 2020.
Learning how to learn. Since skills are constantly
changing, you have to learn how to learn.
Analyzing information. When you take good and
detailed notes, you can review them to pick out the
big ideas, understand, and make sense of information.
Spotting patterns and trends. I recommend that
you combine ideas from the different books that you
read. By doing this, you may be able to spot ideas and
trends.
Communicating – written and oral. You can
combine ideas that once seemed unrelated to
communicate them to influencers, who can help you
to shape and implement them.
Understanding and leveraging technology.
Technology is changing at an unprecedented pace,
so you need to understand and keep on top of it.

Learning to Speak Brazinglish
By VANESSA BARBARA
Published: November 8, 2013
Brazilians are trying hard to get ready to host the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
Despite having a big territory rich with natural scenery, Brazil is not accustomed to many international visitors. The World Tourism Organization, which ranks tourist spending in different countries, puts it 39th on the list, behind much smaller countries like Lebanon, Croatia and Malaysia. Next year, the government expects tourism spending in Brazil to grow by 55 percent, thanks largely to the World Cup. But as that time draws near, the general feeling among my compatriots is one of disbelief (...). The prevailing feeling is captured by the expression “Imagina na Copa ...” — Imagine during the Cup — spoken every time we see a 112-mile-long traffic jam, an overcrowded airport or the rising prices of hotels and flights. If things are already bad, imagine what they’ll be like during the World Cup.
Such pre-tournament pessimism is common. Last year the British were skeptical about the Olympics, which turned out to be O.K. (...)
And yet Brazilians are doing what we can to welcome tourists. (...)

Here’s how long you can work before your brain 1shuts down
I’m having a hard time starting this article. According to research out of the University of Melbourne, that might
be because I’m middle-aged and work too much. Economists determined that burning the midnight oil makes you,
well, dumber.” Our study highlights that too much work can have adverse effects on cognitive functioning,” they
conclude.
Tell us something we didn’t know. Who hasn’t, at the end of a seemingly endless workweek, found themselves
staring blankly at their computer screen or into space unable to remember what they had for lunch, let alone form
a coherent thought about the task at hand?
For some employees, of course – the average resident 2 physician or, these days, that “3 gig economy” worker who
makes ends meet by banging away at multiple projects – long hours are a fact of modern working life. And there’s
a cost. Medical researchers have shown that working too much can affect employees’ physical and mental health.
So how much is too much? For people age 40 and older, working up to roughly 25 hours per week boosts
memory, the ability to quickly process information and other aspects of cognitive function, according to the study,
which drew on a longitudinal survey that tracks the well-being of 6,000 Australians. Beyond 25 hours a week, the
middle-aged brain doesn’t work as well, the study indicates, noting that the findings apply to both men and women.

Technology brought us fake news — and it will
help us kill it
“Fake news” - websites disseminating news stories
that are false but are believed to be true – was a major
feature of the U.S. election season. Some observers
believe that it determined the outcome of the election,
although there is no way to definitively ascertain its
effect on voting.
Fake news is news that affects the digital universe
profoundly. Fake news grew because of the ease
of creating and disseminating websites and stories
that look and read as credible as real news sites
(at least to many people). It is disseminated on
social media platforms just because dissemination
of information without vetting has always been a
feature of those platforms. This was designed to
facilitate communication - no one removes a negative
comment about a restaurant on Facebook.
On the positive side, this means that everyone’s
opinion can be disseminated. The awareness of fake
news, though, reveals a downside – or perhaps a loophole
– of the freedom to post. And fake news may beget1
fake news. Facebook is not the only media company
to be an inadvertent host for fake news, but it is by far
the largest, with roughly 2 billion users each month.
Forbes indicates that the fallout2
from fake news
during the election cycle may cause advertisers to
pull back from Facebook, as it is less “brand safe” than
formerly. If unchecked, fake news could impact the
perceived credibility of online sites where fake news
runs. Since the election, Facebook has announced
plans to refine and increase automated detection of
fake news and to make reporting of suspected stories
easier for Facebook users. It has also indicated that the
current ad system will be changed, to interfere with
fake news sites receiving revenue from Facebook.

The Most Important Skill For 21st–Century Success
By Kevin H. Johnson
The world of work is changing so rapidly, as emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, machine
learning, and automation change job requirements. As technologies continue to evolve and business
conditions shift, employees must stay in learning mode so their skills don’t lose currency.
It’s one thing to keep up with skills as they’re changing in the here and now. It’s a whole different
challenge to prepare yourself for tools and technologies that may exist only in the minds of engineers,
if at all.
There’s so much uncertainty and ambiguity around the future of work, it doesn’t matter your industry
or job function. That’s why, when anyone asks what the next “hot” skill will be, I say it’s the same skill
that will serve people today, tomorrow, and far into the future — the ability to learn.
When people embrace lifelong learning, assimilating new skills isn’t a source of fear and stress — it’s
just another part of their career journey. Separating process from outcome will make you a better
learner too, as you get less fixated on immediate mastery of a skill and more appreciative of how
moving outside your comfort zone helps you grow as a person.
A learning mindset also makes it less likely you’ll be thrown off or immobilized when a project changes
scope or a job function undergoes transformation. While others scramble to figure out where to go
from here, lifelong learners maintain momentum and productivity.
