Hey friends
[1]
You know that according to Forbes Magazine
[3]
the net worth of Jeff Bezos
[5]
is more than the net worth of the entire British Royal Family.
[7]
Their per minute earning is about 1.7 crores and
[12]
by the end of this video Jeff Bezos must have earned so much
[15]
some people will not be able to earn even in their entire life
[18]
Now I am not discouraging anyone by saying all this.
[21]
Rather I am making you realize that Jeff Bezos is a living proof
[24]
If you have a learning mindset, extraordinary skills, both hard skills and soft skills
[30]
so you too can become a self made billionaire.
[33]
And you can become richer than a royal family.
[35]
In today's time the world is changing very fast
[38]
but even today we see education as just an event that went to school
[41]
went to college, got good marks, got job and just finished.
[45]
But we ignore some statistics.
[47]
You know that out of all the jobs available in the world today
[49]
atleast 25% of the jobs have been created in the last 25 years.
[53]
And an average person changes more than 7 jobs in his career
[56]
Again, I'm not telling you all this to discourage you.
[59]
And I am not saying that whatever you are doing, leave it and start doing something new.
[62]
No, it's not going to help.
[64]
Rather I want to tell you one thing that to keep learning attitude, keep learning
[68]
that too 2 important things, 1. Some hard skills and some soft skills
[72]
it is very important for you which even after being at any age in any field
[76]
Both of these things are very important to move forward.
[78]
Only then you will be able to achieve big things like big people
[82]
So remember that first of all it is important that
[84]
you have a learning mindset and after that you should focus on the skills.
[88]
As I have already said that there are 2 types of skills,
[91]
One is hard skills and the other is soft skills.
[93]
On one hand, people focus only on hard skills,
[96]
while on the other hand some people focus only on soft skills
[100]
But the truth is that if you want to move ahead in life
[103]
if you want to move forward quickly
[104]
then it is very important to have both the skills inside you.
[106]
You see, all the people who are successful have both these skills.
[110]
What are hard skills? Hard skills are usually those
[113]
that you use to work actually, according to your position.
[117]
Like if you are a chef then cooking is one of your hard skills.
[120]
Or if you are a software programmer then coding is one of your hard skills.
[123]
Now, schools and colleges focus more on these skills, which is good
[127]
And the good thing is that
[128]
in today's time learning these skills has become much easier than before.
[131]
On the other hand the soft skills which are there are normal day to day basic skills
[135]
which many times you may not major well but they are useful.
[139]
For this, usually you do not get all these certificates
[142]
but its actual certificate shows in your character, your behavior, your mindset
[145]
which can sometimes be important even with hard skills.
[148]
That is why today I will share with you 10 such skills,
[150]
Out of which 5 will be hard skills and 5 will be soft skills
[153]
which are in great demand and If you learn them
[155]
then you will go a long way in life. Now lets start.
[158]
Skill no. 1 of hard skill – digital marketing
[161]
plus soft skill - influencing and persuading skills.
[163]
You must have already heard about digital marketing many times
[166]
because this skill is very much trending nowadays.
[168]
And the reason for being in trend is that
[169]
in today's time everything from shopping to education has gone online.
[173]
Infact, you know, an average person
[175]
spends 2 hours 24 minutes every day only on social media.
[179]
You can say, people are giving a lot of attention on social media, on internet.
[184]
That's why thousands of brands are fighting to get this online attention
[187]
and this is what helps digital marketers to get this attention.
[190]
Marketers use their skills to grab the attention of more and more people
[194]
towards a specific brand.
[195]
There are SEO, Google Ads, Facebook Ads
[198]
and many more things which are used here.
[201]
Look, the simple thing is that in the future, many businesses will keep coming
[205]
technologies will keep coming, so that everyone wants to sell something.
[208]
To sell, they need the attention of the people
[210]
which is maximum nowadays on the internet.
[212]
That's why digital marketing is a skill whose demand is very high even today
[216]
and as long as there is internet, it will be in demand.
[219]
The 2nd soft skill is – Influencing, Persuasion.
[222]
Look friends, you have to influence people every day at some point
[226]
whether it is to influence a person to crack a deal
[228]
influence someone to spend time with someone, take a favor from someone
[231]
If you want to impress the boss, sell something
[234]
then at every such time you need the skill of influencing.
[238]
Where you can speak, you can manipulate people a little bit,
[242]
but for some good reasons.
[243]
Whether it is your team members, your family members, your friends or anyone else
[247]
There is a very great book on influencing, Influence – The Psychology of Persuasion
[250]
I have also made a video on this, I will give the link for you to checkout.
[254]
The 3rd skill is the hard skill which is related to Blockchain technology.
[257]
When the Internet came in the 1990s, many webisites were being made.
[260]
People were slowly shifting to the Internet, and today such a time has come that
[264]
today we cannot even imagine our life without the Internet.
[267]
If the net does not work even for a short time, then we get upset
[269]
we have become so dependent on the internet.
[271]
The thing is that blockchain is being called the new internet.
[274]
It is quite new, people are moving towards it fast and it is expanding.
[278]
And there is a lot of chance that in today's time it will become so hit that
[281]
people will not be able to spend their life without it.
[283]
Bitcoin, Ethereum, cryptocurrencies, all this is going on, NFT
[286]
everything that is going on, blockchain technology is behind all these things
[290]
It has so much power that it can change the whole of the current financial system.
[294]
And it can help people in many things
[296]
because of this very good changes can come in the world.
[299]
So learning about this technology, having hard skills will be very beneficial for you
[303]
4th skill is soft skill which is very important but many people do not understand its value
[308]
that is time management.
[309]
In today's time, it has become very difficult for people to manage your time
[312]
because there have been so many distractions.
[314]
This skill is very important not only for your career but also for your personal life
[317]
your relationships, your health, mental health even physical health
[320]
For all of these, its very important.
[322]
Because you must know that the thing which is the biggest asset for us
[325]
the thing which is more important than money is our time.
[328]
And if we are not able to manage our best asset well,
[331]
keep wasting it, then it will hurt us a lot
[334]
So, I would only say that after watching this video, if you really want to learn,
[338]
which you can learn easily, then that skill will definitely be time management.
[341]
If you want to learn about time management
[343]
then there are many great books related to time management,
[345]
*Eat that frog*, *Getting things done* on which I have also made a summary
[348]
of which I will also give a playlist in the description.
[350]
The 5th skill which is a hard skill is Data Science.
[354]
Look, you must know that data is also called new oil.
[357]
Some people also call this digital oil.
[359]
One who understands the value of this oil, understands the science behind it
[362]
learns related skills from it, there is a lot of demand in the market today.
[365]
Because with the help of this, today a big company is earning a lot of money.
[368]
Look, in today's time everything is data driven.
[371]
Data is being used in almost every field.
[373]
By using data, using statistics, people are able to predict
[377]
which thing will sell more, who will vote for whom, who is where
[380]
when is he doing what, when can he do all these things because of AI & machine learning
[386]
because People are able to predict humans, predict their moves
[389]
by analyzing data
[390]
Data is also used a lot in marketing, to reach direct customers.
[393]
Many such things are happening related to data.
[396]
Therefore, the demand for Data Scientist is also increasing very fast.
[399]
Big companies are in need of such a big specialist,
[402]
who can use the data they have to make the process more efficient
[405]
and can help in making money.
[407]
That's why trust me, if you learn this skill too,
[409]
then you can earn a lot of money from this too.
[411]
6th skill which is soft skill, that is work ethic and motivation.
[414]
Look, I think one thing that differentiates a successful person from an average person
[418]
that is an exceptional work ethic.
[421]
For example, Elon Musk works regularly for 10 to 16 hours a day.
[425]
You must have heard this line, hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard.
[430]
This thing is true to some extent if you mix hard work with smart work.
[434]
Author Malcolm Gladwell says that
[436]
it takes 10000 hours for you to become a master of any skill
[439]
and if you practice any skill for 10000 hours then you can achieve mastery in it
[444]
the thing will help you to do big things, that will make you world class.
[448]
That is why, while understanding this thing, you have to remember that
[450]
never be afraid before doing hard work. Always try to stay motivated.
[454]
Be in any field, whatever work you are doing, if you have a strong work ethic
[458]
if people start getting impressed by your strong work ethic
[461]
if your work ethic is so good, you come on time. If you work hard, give extra effort
[467]
then every person likes this thing very much
[469]
This thing will motivate your colleagues, will motivate your employees
[473]
infact Universe also likes this thing very much
[475]
after which Universe also gives you a lot in return.
[478]
So also keep this thing in mind that you have to have a good work ethic
[481]
and stay motivated in life.
[482]
Before moving on to the next skill, if you have listened till now
[485]
and if you want to learn a lot of hard skills then you must have heard about Upgrad.
[490]
It is an online higher education platform where you can learn many valuable hard skills.
[494]
Look, the problem in today's time is that most of the children are busy in school, college
[498]
some are busy in jobs.
[499]
They are busy due to which they are not able to learn some new things.
[504]
And this is a huge problem.
[505]
And as I have told you earlier also, the world is changing very fast
[508]
and it is necessary for us to keep pace with this rapidly changing world.
[512]
It is very important to learn new skills which we can't do by relying on old things.
[517]
That's why it is very important for us to use new things.
[520]
Upgrade solves this problem too.
[522]
This is a new thing that can solve your problems in a new way.
[526]
Like many online platforms, it does not only give you online courses
[529]
but here you can take formal education from reputed universities IITs
[532]
many universities abroad like Deakin University
[536]
University of Arizona, Duke University
[538]
and also from top 1% universities of the world using Upgrad.
[544]
that too with the support of world class faculty.
[546]
For example, if you want to learn data science
[548]

[553]

[555]
And then not only data science, upgrade also gives you a chance to learn many skills.

[574]

[576]
then you can checkout any upgrade course by going to the link given below.
[580]
Now let's come to the next hard skill which is Product Management.
[583]
Product Management has recently emerged as a new skill
[585]
but in actuality, this hard skill is a combination of your many different skills
[589]
where you manage a product, take many decisions about that product.
[593]
Design, features, price everything is in your hands
[596]
where your analytical and critical thinking is used a lot.
[599]
You can assume that you are the CEO of that product
[602]
where all the final decisions are in your hands.
[605]
This skill is very important because with this you learn
[608]
how to create a product whether it is digital or physical.
[612]
Obviously, different types of products will keep coming in the future.
[615]
that is why if you become a product manager, then there is a lot of demand for it
[617]
and money is also good in it.
[619]
Even if you think of doing business, this skill will come in very handy for you.
[622]
The infact truth is that product management can also make you a CEO in a company
[627]
For example, if you give an interesting example
[629]
Susan, CEO of YouTube, was the product manager of Google Adsense before.
[633]
Google CEO Sundar Pichai also started his career in Google as a product manager.
[639]
Where he used to manage Google's toolbar.
[641]
Next comes soft skills which are leadership skills.
[644]
Many people confuse leadership skills with management skills.
[647]
Look, being a manager is a job title where some people work under you
[651]
which you have to manage, check whether the work is being done properly or not
[655]
On the other hand, being a leader is not a title
[658]
Leadership is not just a specific position
[660]
Being a leader means that you work together not by keeping people under,
[663]
not by supervising them but by guiding them
[667]
Chasing your goals with your entire team, keeping everyone motivated
[671]
and having this small difference in human beings
[674]
is sometimes very important to create big results in life.
[676]
You notice, what happens many times
[678]
people with same education, same qualification, same hard skills
[682]
go to do some work
[683]
But one gets promotion early, starts early doing well in life
[687]
why? Because he has leadership skills, which isn't seen in maximum people
[692]
That's why you should also have this skill in you.
[694]
Now coming to the last hard skill which is coding.
[696]
According to Indeed, web development is the highest paying job today.
[701]
In today's time, where the quantity of computers is equal to that of humans
[705]
that is why it is very important for you to learn their language.
[708]
Just as English is in high demand in the language of humans
[710]
Same, there are computers languages, in which many languages are in great demand.
[714]
If you learn them from this, then you will be able to talk well with computers
[717]
you will be able to get many things done from them
[719]
which if you do not learn, you will not be able to get them done.
[721]
Look, coding has become a very important skill in today's time
[724]
which if you learn it, you can achieve many things.
[727]
Because nowadays we have become very dependent on computers.
[730]
All our work, you can say, is related to computers.
[732]
If for some reason something happens to the computers,
[736]
then the whole world will stop.
[737]
People will not be able to do any work well
[739]
because we are so much dependent on this technology, so important.
[742]
That is why understanding this important thing, if you learn computer language,
[746]
then this thing can also help you a lot in earning money.
[748]
And this hard skill will definitely be very much in demand as long as there are computers
[752]
I think it will be there for a long time to come.
[755]
The last soft skill that you must possess is Emotional Intelligence.
[759]
Many a times in our professional life we forget that we are all human beings.
[763]
We start treating ourselves like robots and others too
[766]
that we should do this work, this work should not be done.
[769]
We set many rules and don't want to do things apart from them.
[773]
Due to which a lot of problems start coming in our relationship.
[778]
Remember, human is not a more logical creature but an emotional creature
[782]
that whenever it takes action, it takes it on the basis of emotions
[785]
and not on the basis of logic.
[786]
Look, remember one thing, the people you work with are not computers
[790]
they are not robots. Yes robots and computers can be controlled by coding
[795]
but not humans. If you want to work well with humans
[798]
sell products to humans, do something big with them,
[801]
then understanding emotions is also very important.
[804]
Without understanding human emotion, you will never be able to achieve big things
[809]
You should understand this thing that when people are happy, when they are sad
[812]
when they are motivated, by what things they are motivated
[815]
why they work, why they do not work, all these things happen because of emotion.
[819]
You can say, understanding all these things is the key to success.
[822]
If you understand these things, if you increase its intelligence,
[827]
then you can do a lot, you can get people to do a lot.
[830]
I have also made a very good summary on emotional intelligence
[833]
I will also give the link of that video in many descriptions.
[835]
Now, to end, if you want to learn all these hard skills from the Upgrad
[842]
then I will also give the link below in the description.
[843]
You too can fast forward your career with the help of Upgrad.
[847]
Now, all the skills I am going to tell you, I want you to comment
[851]
which one of them is the most important according to you.
[853]
Or else I want you to comment and tell which is the skill which I have missed
[856]
which I should have put in this.
[858]
that's it for now.
