This is the key to a child’s future development

I mentioned in a micro class a few years ago that we are educating children for the future world, so parents must be forward-thinking and focus on the future. I have listed the research results of multiple institutions and experts around the world on what kind of talents are needed in the future. I also talked about my personal conclusion after synthesizing these research results. In the past few years, I have seen many articles with this idea. Everyone is thinking about how to educate my children so that they can better adapt to the needs of the future world. Here I write down my thoughts again in the form of a simple list. When our children grow up, how will the social environment they live in be different from today? I think the biggest difference is that they will have more choices and freedom. For example, they have more channels to receive education. At that time, everyone was no longer crowded into the single-plank bridge of the college entrance examination, nor was it necessary to take the college entrance examination or go abroad. In the future, children may be able to go to school at home, take courses from foreign universities online after school while attending middle school, or start a business after graduating from high school while studying part-time, obtain certain professional skill certificates that they need, and learn about themselves. What you want to learn. Employers\’ recruitment standards will also become more flexible, and a college diploma may not be as valuable as a skill certificate in a certain field. Of course, this does not mean that higher education has no value, but that diversifying educational pathways allows students to have more autonomy. For example, I suspect that a profession called \”youth growth planners\” will soon be born, who specialize in helping parents and students tailor educational paths and plans for their children. In this case, the ability to learn throughout life becomes extremely important. People who continue to learn, even if they only graduate from high school at first, will develop better in the future than college graduates who do not study. Young people in the future will also have more choices and freedom in terms of career, city of residence, lifestyle and other aspects. Everything in society will become diversified, niche, and fluid. Recently, I often see articles mentioning \”class solidification\” and \”class decline\” when talking about education. I think this is probably just using the concepts of our generation to express our own anxieties. In the future social structure, it may be difficult to divide people using single standards such as income and consumption level. All different lifestyles will be accepted. There is no mainstream to speak of. For example, people do not all pursue quick accumulation of wealth, because that often also means high stress and a drain on health. Some people may be highly educated and actively choose a pastoral life with low income and self-sufficiency. Some people may work intensively in a very small field throughout their lives, just for love, regardless of profit, and do not regard this as a business model. Or, some people don’t want a stable job at all, and they will live a life that changes at any time. Sometimes they work several jobs at the same time, sometimes they are idle for a few years, and sometimes they go back to school for a few years… The progress of a society, in a certain period, To this extent, it is reflected in the ability to support people with different ideas to have the opportunity to live the unique life they desire. Today\’s parents are desperately trying to make their children rise in class, which may be completely incomprehensible to the young people of the future.It\’s ridiculous – I don\’t want to work so hard, do things I don\’t like, and spend my whole teenage years just to make more money, and I may not be able to win the bet!

In such a diversified, changing and fluid society in the future, which qualities and abilities of young people will become important? When we raise our children now, what should we focus on to help them live better in the future world? This certainly makes for a long list. I think one of the most important things for Chinese parents is to be self-driven, have the ability to control life independently, and have an entrepreneurial spirit. Self-driving and controlling life sounds very general. If it is detailed, it includes at least the following: 1. Have a clear self-understanding. Understand yourself, be good at listening to your inner voice, and know what you want at every stage. In the past, when everyone was about the same, you could just follow the pack. Now everyone has to take their own unique path. Where does your path lead to? No one can tell you except yourself. That is to say, this kind of life requires you to be at the helm at all times, and you have no chance to follow the crowd. So on what basis do you steer the ship? Based on what you know about yourself. 2. Have goals, passion, ideals, dreams, and missions. Know what you like and are good at, and find a way to create value and benefit society. I know exactly what I plan to do with the next few decades of my life. Life becomes simpler – just one thing. In fact, in the future, more people will have the opportunity to do the work they like and are good at. They work with passion and enjoy every day at work. The products they create or the services they provide contain their unique passion and love. This passionate energy not only nourishes themselves, but can also be conveyed to others. Therefore, people who work in this way are both happy and easy to succeed. 3. Be responsible for your own decisions and results. They do not wait for others to give them opportunities or help, but take the initiative to find and create. You need certain skills that you don\’t know at work. Instead of waiting for the company to provide training, you should find opportunities to learn by yourself. When you encounter problems, don\’t blame the outside world or others, don\’t blame society or the times, but find the reasons yourself and solve them. Taking charge yourself means having the courage to take responsibility. You no longer have the opportunity to blame your parents for choosing the wrong major for your application, or for not finding you a good job, or for the company\’s poor development, or the times are not right… 4. Be diligent in self-examination and adjustment. We all want to live a life with more choices and more freedom. When that kind of life is really before us, are we just Ye Gonghaolong? A life with freedom and many choices requires you to have independent thinking and strong decision-making skills, because you will make various judgments and decisions independently every day. Moreover, it is not enough to have strong analytical and decision-making skills. More importantly, you must be able to challenge your own inertia, be diligent in introspection, often jump out and reflect on your own paths and strategies, and make timely adjustments once problems are discovered. People in the past were used to following the crowd, because this wayIt’s safe, and it saves effort and worry because you go with the flow. However, when times change, people are divided, and there is no longer a \”big gang\” for people to follow blindly, everyone has to explore their own personalized path. At this time, you must have the ability to constantly monitor and adjust your path, and develop the habit of doing so. You no longer take the bus mindlessly, but you will always be your own driver, identify the road, hold the steering wheel, and walk on the road you want to take. 5. Willingness and ability to continue independent learning. The changes of the times require you to continuously optimize your capital. For example, in the era of artificial intelligence, people must continue to learn in order not to be replaced by machines. You may want to cross more boundaries, you may want to go deeper into a certain field to a level beyond the reach of machines, you may want to find a way to integrate robots into your work, or you may want to completely give up your existing industry and major. Skills, start everything from scratch, learn art, learn to work in high-end service industries… In short, looking at the benefits, people will have the opportunity to continuously improve themselves throughout their lives. In times like this, you have to think about what you want to learn, what you need to learn, and how to learn it at all times. Take the initiative to find ways to learn. As long as you are willing to look for it, you can create various learning opportunities: books, the Internet, communities, finding apprentices with professionals in the field, and learning in practice… There is a young man in the United States named Dale Stephens. When he was 12 years old I felt that studying at school was too boring and ineffective, so I decided to study on my own. Unlike ordinary homeschooling, he did not follow a certain textbook outline, but came up with various ways to create learning opportunities. He was eventually admitted to a top polytechnic in the United States and called on more teenagers to try his social learning approach. In the future, young people can still bring this spirit into school learning even if they do not leave campus. After leaving the campus, this is the way to learn. Lifelong learning will no longer be an empty talk, but a necessity in the new era. Now, our children are attending classes on campus as planned. Even so, children can be cultivated to have the concept of independent learning. For example, when your child is in the senior grade of elementary school, if he is more motivated and has a better vision for the future, you can ask him what and how you plan to learn if it is not required by the school or for exams. This way, he can see why I am taking these classes and what else I can learn on my own outside of class. Children should have this sense of taking the initiative in learning and being the masters of learning from an early age. Also going to school, he can have an active thirst for knowledge, like a hunter hunting, instead of being driven to work like a prisoner. 6. The ability to obtain information, integrate resources, and comprehensively coordinate. In a diverse and changing society, does a person have the ability to filter out what he or she needs from massive amounts of information, keenly find beneficial resources, and integrate resources from all parties? , overall arrangement, for your own use, this will become very important. The young people of the future must be able to master digital technology and be able to surf the waves instead of being drowned. 7. Adaptability, resistance to frustration and resilience, the enthusiasm and courage to continue to create life. On the road to creating life independently, every setback is just an attempt and learning.Xi, the whole life is a process of constant decision-making and revision. Instead of complaining about the situation, look at what you learned from it and how you can use the lesson in the future. Being able to do this not only lies in cognition, but also in accumulating enough love and fun from childhood life, and also experiencing the value of perseverance in hard work, and the process of going through challenges and constantly expanding the comfort zone. No matter how great the society changes, or what kind of troughs we encounter, we can start over. This is not only a character, but also an ability that can be learned. Always be full of hope, be able to tolerate and accept yourself, be passionate about life, and have the courage to start over. These will be like fuel to support you all the way forward. Summary: In the future, even if you don’t start a business, you must start your life with the spirit of an entrepreneur. The industry is transforming and old jobs are disappearing. Everyone must optimize and update their skills at any time, market themselves globally, create new needs, exert their uniqueness, and find their own unique position. If you stop moving forward, you will let yourself go. Not much space. Society needs you to create innovations with passion, not an inert screw who only listens to instructions and pushes step by step. Even machines are doing things independently and seemingly independently, let alone people. If you cannot be proactive and enjoy challenges, you will have no choice but to receive relief and indulge in virtual games for the rest of your life. Is this scary? On the contrary, perhaps this will be the best era for mankind! In the industrial age, people are expected to be screws from education to work. This is the alienation of human nature. Now, maybe society is finally becoming more and more \”humane\”! Everyone can have the opportunity to realize their potential, grow into the best version of themselves, do what they choose, get up and go to work every morning with hope and enthusiasm, and be satisfied and enjoyed at work… This is what our generation can do. A life that is hard to come by is a life that is very likely to be realized by the next generation! My parents\’ generation worked in the same company all their lives, lived in houses allocated by the company, and waited for salary increases based on seniority. Most of my generation still work in fixed positions for many years, and a few become businessmen or freelancers. People in the future may all be freelancers in a certain sense. They will truly be the writers, directors and protagonists of their own lives! So, educate your children for the future with hope! Don’t use our experiences to judge their world. Rest assured, they will create a brand new world!
