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.

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 Invitation
It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living, I want to know what you ache for, and if you
dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing.
It doesn’t interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love,
for your dreams, for the adventure of being alive.
It doesn’t interest me what planets are squaring with your moon. I want to know if you have
touched the center of your own sorrow, if you have been opened by life’s betrayals or have
become shriveled and closed from fear of further pain. I want to know if you can sit with pain,
mine or your own, without moving to hide it, or fade it or fix it. I want to know if you can be with
joy, mine or even your own; if you can dance with the wilderness and let the ecstasy fill you to
the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful, be realistic, or to remember
the limitations of being a human.
It doesn´t interest me if the story you´re telling me is true. I want to know if you can risk
disappointing another to be true to yourself; if you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not
betray your own soul. I want to know if you can be faithless and therefore be trustworthy. I want
to know if you can see beauty even when it´s not pretty every day, and if you can source your
life from its presence. I want to know if you can live with failure, yours and mine, and still stand
on the edge of a lake and shout to the silver of the moon, “YES”.
It doesn´t interest me to know where you live or how much money you have. I want to know if
you can get up after a night of grief and despair, weary and bruised to the bone, and do what
needs to be done for the children. It doesn´t matter to me who you are, how you came to be
here. I want to know if you will stand in the center of the fire with me and not shrink back.
It doesn´t interest me where or what or with whom you have studied. I want to know what
sustains you from the inside when all else falls away. I want to know if you can be alone with
yourself; and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments.

It doesn´t interest me where or what or with whom you have studied. I want to know what
sustains you from the inside when all else falls away. I want to know if you can be alone with
yourself; and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments.

The Invitation
It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living, I want to know what you ache for, and if you
dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing.
It doesn’t interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love,
for your dreams, for the adventure of being alive.
It doesn’t interest me what planets are squaring with your moon. I want to know if you have
touched the center of your own sorrow, if you have been opened by life’s betrayals or have
become shriveled and closed from fear of further pain. I want to know if you can sit with pain,
mine or your own, without moving to hide it, or fade it or fix it. I want to know if you can be with
joy, mine or even your own; if you can dance with the wilderness and let the ecstasy fill you to
the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful, be realistic, or to remember
the limitations of being a human.
It doesn´t interest me if the story you´re telling me is true. I want to know if you can risk
disappointing another to be true to yourself; if you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not
betray your own soul. I want to know if you can be faithless and therefore be trustworthy. I want
to know if you can see beauty even when it´s not pretty every day, and if you can source your
life from its presence. I want to know if you can live with failure, yours and mine, and still stand
on the edge of a lake and shout to the silver of the moon, “YES”.
It doesn´t interest me to know where you live or how much money you have. I want to know if
you can get up after a night of grief and despair, weary and bruised to the bone, and do what
needs to be done for the children. It doesn´t matter to me who you are, how you came to be
here. I want to know if you will stand in the center of the fire with me and not shrink back.
It doesn´t interest me where or what or with whom you have studied. I want to know what
sustains you from the inside when all else falls away. I want to know if you can be alone with
yourself; and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments.
