1. Critical thinker
2. Learn how to learn, unlearn and relearn
3. Ability to articulate what you are thinking

I've recently have been trying to develop the third skill: learning how to articulate your thoughts. I love to write ideas, from dreams that could be films or short films inspired from existing concepts / film scenes. Whenever I try to write the plot, I always end up giving unnecessary details, as if I i was writing a screenplay. I can't articulate my thoughts in a concise manner.

A skill I must master for the years to come.

[MrtnX]

I've been having discussions about people refusing to learn the right name of things. They want everything oversimplified. I think that knowing that id essential while asking questions. The right questions gives you the right answers and we need to be willing to improve our vocabulary.

[masterkuba]

It' almost a year since I quit my job and ventured into freelancing. I've been watching every free course in the internet to widen my skills. This habit allowed me to reach 6 digits earnings. I agree with this video.

[albertina]

I love the second one. I truly think this is an ongoing process and it never stops. Although we have found ourselves where we have to maximize this particular skill right about now.

[CJVeloso]

This is easily one of the best videos I've seen. Thank you, Chris for your insight.

[abie]

thank you for the tips chris! can't wait for your break the block mini-course tomorrow!

[AMDesignAndDev]

Great video! Though Socrates would never use the word rhetoric (even though he wouldn't even use any english word), but the ability to persuade the masses was something Socrates argued against.
He argued that rhetoric is talking not from wisdom, but from ignorance of the subject matter.

[SaketNampell]

the last one is so powerful especially in the era of AI.. Thanks for this video Chris!!!

[inversemedium]

What an apt description of a futuristic possibility 👏🏽

[Shaundesigner]

Great video! Learning how to learn is so underrated, there needs to be more than this! Since when did Chat GPT have the ability to watch a video?

[NicoleOsborneWunderstars]

Chris has this amazing ability to highlight the most important points so persuasively and concise. Another super helpful video. I especially liked to be reminded of skill #2 Learn how to learn, unlearn and relearn.

[asemfkhan]

absolutely love the style of this video!

[micbab-vgmu]

Totally agree - critical thinking, learning and unlearning, and effective communication. In my case combining mention skills with generative AI change my life. I work 50% less and I have more fun at work.

[TheInterestedObserver]

Always quality and helpful content, thank you.

[usmvnjaved]

Never knew asking the right questions could become this big. Loved the approach ❤

[DominMarfa]

Thank you for this very helpful and honest video. Great advice!

I’ve been watching your YTs over the past few months enjoying some your insights. There’s something, however, that you continue to miss and I hope you’re able to possibly explore and incorporate in your “How To” videos; there seems to be a lack of genuine connection to your up-leveling messages. The messages appears to only serve the more power, more influence, more money model. Perhaps your messages are really only geared towards the young, highly driven, material and power acquiring individual but you have a strong following and a truly unique voice—there’s an open opportunity to address an overlooked but incredibly important element of work that connects to humanity beyond pricing and ranking. Genuine connection and service to the betterment of All is often overlooked perhaps because there’s a myth that capitalism can not thrive in service to the All. We may not have millions of business examples yet but it’s available. Integrating The Good, The Beautiful and The Just and then modeling it for humanity to behold may be the next great frontier. Anyway-just a thought. I’m I still a subscriber. Cheers

I stopped watching The Futur's channel months ago bc of all the shorts and short videos, but I clicked on this video and wasn't disappointed❤
