In an article titled "Learning To Keep Learning" in the New York Times, dated December 13, 2006, Thomas L. Friedman states:

"I listened to this with mixed emotions. Part of me said 'Gosh, wouldn't it be nice to have a government that was so focused on innovation -- instead of one that is basically anti-science.' My other emotion was skepticism. Oh, you know the line: Great Britain dominated the 19th century, America dominated the 20th and now China is going to dominate the 21st. It's game over.

"No question, China has been able to command an impressive effort to end illiteracy, greatly increasing its number of high school grads and new universities. But I still believe it is very hard to produce a culture of innovation in a country that censors [Google] which for me is a proxy for curtailing people's ability to imagine and try anything they want. You can command K-12 education. But you can't command innovation. Rigor and competence, without freedom, will take China only so far. China will have to find a way to loosen up, without losing control, if it wants to be a truly innovative nation." (access through ProQuest Data Base in the Keller library-article 94 of 239 listed therein for that issue)

Comment on how one can stay abreast of changes that will likely affect a career plan. How will we keep up to date in time to make effective career transitions?

Expert Solution

There is now we can replace knowledge by anything because we have been unable to find a substitute of knowledge. Academic education is an aspect which is quite important but I believe that the knowledge one gathers by actually working is the ultimate form of knowledge and that is constant and tends to stay with us throughout. The world has advanced a lot in the last few decades and it is difficult keeping pace with the advancement but if we do not then we will be lagging behind because in order to sustain change is the key and individuals need to be dynamic and flexible enough to accept such changes and adapt. As we are talking about China we can see the transformation that they have gone through because they had the zeal and urge to learn which has actually helped them to formulate ideas and implement them which has also made China an innovation hub and this is one thing which cannot be taken away from individuals.

An individuals in order to sustain has to walk side by side with the changes and have to accept, learn and actually execute the changes. As conveyed that the day an individual is stagnant, the day that individual stops growing because being dynamic is the key and therefore we have to learn more and have to keep ourselves enable with the latest in the world and only that will help our cause to be successful because individuals do not limit themselves to a particular career today, rather they change their field so that they get more exposure and understand what they actually learn and this attitude of the generation has helped them reach the peak.
