It\u2019s a rapidly changing world out there, and you\u2019ve got to be prepared to ride the waves.\xa0So just how exactly can you futureproof yourself. There is no one way, but here are a bunch of ideas that will point you forward.\xa0They say that the best way to predict the future is to create it. With so many positions being made obsolete, training yourself in new areas could make the difference between a promotion or a layoff. You may even discover a new career path that you enjoy even more. Become a lifelong learner, because your education doesn\u2019t stop with your degree. As my good friend Arnold Penney used to say in his 90’s, “Here’s the future!”\xa0We\u2019re Drowning in Information, While Starving for Wisdom.\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0 \xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0 \xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0— E.O. WilsonToo much of a good thing. That\u2019s what today\u2019s abundance of data has become. Too much. In fact, the more we come to know, it seems the less we actually do know. It\u2019s like a book full of random words that fails to tell a story. Then again, it may also be your opportunity:\xa0The world henceforth will be run by synthesizers, people able to put together the right information at the right time, think critically about it, and make important choices wisely.\xa0 — E.O. Wilson.\xa0Bottomline: data without analysis and insights is nice and worthless.\xa0Become Friends with People Who Aren\u2019t Your Age. Hang Out with People Whose First Language Isn\u2019t the Same as Yours. Get to Know Someone Who Doesn\u2019t Come from Your Social Class.
