A crippling blow! Sizable chunks of skills considered crucial to career competence, enterprise competitiveness and sustained community progression are now rendered nonessential (see the C-list); a good many more swiftly losing respected value. Why? How? Rapid technological evolution compounded by a wise progression into as well as  new builds of BETTER-BRIGHTER intelligent communities. That is the up-side.

Throughout this swiftly expanding paradigm (toward ‘super’ intelligence) three ESSENTIAL SKILLSETS dominate the landscape: RESILIENCE,  ADAPTABILITY,  and CRITICAL THINKING. Superior problem-solving is crucial to cutting edge leadership, particularly through storms of information overload.

Smartly-prepped children, smart youths, smart adults, growth communities, are proving themselves HIGHLY COMPETENT in the aforementioned three skillsets, absenting which throngs are left behind (a severe down side). 

The SIGNIFICANCE of embracing this growth mindset CANNOT BE OVER-EMPHASIZED or taken for granted. Better yet, It is a leap-frog capability when paralleled with technological competence.

Spring ahead.  SEIZE THE MOMENT.
