The economic situation in the world right now is very scary. People are losing their jobs. Companies are struggling. Fear and worry are running rampant.
So what can we do? How can we protect our careers? How can we ensure that we continue to protect ourselves and our families financially?
In my opinion, learning is the best protection. Learning is the best guarantee of continued career success. Learning is the best guarantee for economic success.
Those that learn- thrive. Those who don’t, sink.
Learning is not something you do in school. In my opinion, schools are usually mediocre places to learn. Most learning happens after school or outside of school.
To succeed and thrive, we must be lifelong learners. We must develop an intense passion for learning. We must awaken our natural curiosity. We must constantly be learning new skills, new information, new ideas.
And when I talk about lifelong learning, I’m not just talking about English. Of course, English will make you much more competitive in the job market. English opens the door to many jobs and careers.
But don’t just learn English. Learn anything and everything that interests you and excites you. The more knowledge and skills you have, the more career opportunities you will have. Make yourself indispensable to your company. Constantly learn and make yourself a remarkable person.
Remarkable people are always in demand. Remarkable people can always find jobs. Remarkable people will have security and financial opportunties, even during tough economic times.
Don’t become fearful. Don’t surrender to worry or pessimism. Instead, focus all of your passion and energy on learning. Learn. Grow. Thrive.
