Thomas Friedman Quotes


If you are willing to be a lifelong learner, you can be a lifelong employee.


Context

While this had become so in the early 21st century, is was only true for people who had the ability to learn complex material. For those who were poor learners, employment was then getting more and more difficult, and for many people who were bot able to learn new material that was complicated, their willingness could not help them often. For the rest of the workforce, even a very good eduction would not ensure continual employment. Continuius learning to keep up with continuous change was necessary.
