The future belongs to lifelong learners

Recently, we have been frequently reminded of what Charlie Munger said - the future belongs to lifelong learners

I have met no smart people in my life (smart people from all walks of life) who don't read every day - not one, not one. It might surprise you how much Buffett reads and how much I read. The kids all laughed at me. They think I am a book with two legs.

--Charlie Munger

The Internet has changed the way information is connected; exponential technology is rapidly subverting the existing business world; artificial intelligence has begun to seize human jobs …

What kind of talents are needed in the future?

The only strategy to change your destiny is to become a lifelong learner. In the future, the world will no longer need single skilled talents, but comprehensive talents with a complete knowledge structure, strong logical thinking ability and high perception. Excellent people often build strong enough abstract thinking abilities through reading, and gain thinking and integration abilities that are different from others. The future will belong to lifelong learners! And reading must be inseparable from lifelong learning.

Many people read books, looking for practical information and immediate and effective solutions. In fact, this is a reading method that stays in the comfort zone. In this era of uncertainty, the answers will not simply appear in books, because there are no standard and exact answers in life, and you cannot expect that past experiences can solve future problems.
