MY TOP 6 SKILLS THAT WE NEED TO HAVE FOR 21 CENTURY

 I consider skills one of the best assets that a person can have. Today having gifted with many skills is a real blessing. Skills are important and will remain important in the near future. We live in a period where science and technologies are moving very fast. What we been taught in the past is not valid in the present and will not be in the future.

In today's article, I will list my top 6

Top 6 Skills for 21 century

skills that need to have to be successful in the future.


1 Communication

Seen by many as not so important, communication is perhaps the most important skill that a person can have. I have to admit communication is not my strong part, actually, I'm very bad on this. Improving my communication skills is one of my tops priorities. Having good communication skills can improve your value with 50 % according to Warren Buffet.


2 Marketing& Sales

The concept is very simple: "you can't sell, you can't make money". In life and business, sales are what count most. The example that I have in mind now is Steve Jobs, he was an extremely good marketing guy. The presentation when he had introduced for the first time the iPhone was amazing.

Developing selling skills by digital marketing today is something that a person don need to miss if wants to become successful in the near future.

3 Coding 

I discovered coding very interesting and I fall in love with this. Seen difficult by many, coding is a skill that you need to have success in the near future. The opportunities for software developers are endless. 

Having coding skills like HTML, Javascript, Java, CSS can help you to solve some problems related to developing websites, apps, and other applications. 

Coding can help you to develop complex systems using: machine learning, AI, and blockchain technologies.

4 Biotechnology

We are in a full pandemic crisis generated by the spread of COVID-19. The important biotech companies in the world are in a full race to develop a vaccine. The opportunities to be involved in the biotech field today are endless and with future perspectives.

Cellular agriculture is perhaps one of the most trendy parts of biotechnology today. There are companies startups that are working to create meat in another way that we used for. They are developing meat by culturing muscle tissues.

Agriculture is not the only domain where biotechnology is evolving. The food industry, medicine, plastic surgery are only a few fields. 


5 Creativity and Content creation

If there are jobs that will not be extinct by AI, definitely will be jobs that imply creativity. People with creative skills can be successful in the near future. Social Media platforms are places where we can find those people starting with: bloggers, vloggers, and influencers.


6 Copywriting

After communication, I consider copywriting another important skill that a person should master if he wants to become successful in the near future. The two examples that I have in mind are Richard Branson and Bill Gates. What those people have in common?  Both are successful business leaders and have a strong online presence on social media and they are posting periodically to their blogs.
