World is flat 

This video was pretty much how the world has change over the years. For me the big message was that we have to worry more about our education, because maybe over the years the work we study for won’t give us the best income. Also China’s population is greater than Americas, which means that they would have more educated people. For example, who would of thought that China would soon become the #1 English-Speaking country in the world. If you would like to know more about this you can go ahead and look at this video, Did You know.

The most significant quote on my wordle is that China has more honor kids than we do. This is important because that shows that the kids in China are most worried about their education than we are. They do think about their future, and we don’t. This really means that even though we are as smart as they are we choose not to show it and latter in the future China will have a better education that us and better jobs as well as better lives. This affects my future a lot, because latter in in the future people from China or India will have better jobs because they would have a better education, honors, and they will ask for less pay, and that’s what companies look at.

This video definitely made me look at my future. It made me think about the career I want to take, because now I have to think about the career I want to take that will still be available in the next years, because if it’s not, than it will useless having an education if you can’t use it for nothing. I also think more about whats going to happen in the next few years with education and the top jobs. Even though the career you choose to take will be a good job, it will be better if you choose to take one with better income and better future.

This movie (Did You Know) was created by Karl Fisch, he did a great job, because he not only changed my mind or yours but he changed the life of many others. You can check out his website here.

You did a good job on your blog! i really understood the effects these changes are going to have on us in the future. we really need to start worrying about our education because we aren’t going to get any reliable jobs if we don’t!

I agree with you when you say that people should focus more on their education. The U.S is the leading country right now, yet a lot of other countries are catching up to us is we don’t step up and encourage eduacation to our children, the U.S just might not be in the lead anymore. Plus, a good education will give our children and younger generations successful career options.
