Navigating the future skills demand

“Many of us have bought into the cliché “pursue your passion”. For many, this is terrible advice.In your 20’s, you may not really know what your best skills and opportunities are. It’s much better to pursue learning, personal discipline and growth. And to seek out connections with people across the planet.For a while, it’s just fine to follow and support someone else’s dream. In so doing, you will be building valuable relationships, valuable knowledge. And at some point, your passion will come + whisper in your ear “I’m ready”.Chris Anderson
