The Elephant and The Dragon

I just finished a phenomenal book entitled The Elephant and The Dragon by Robyn Meredith.
In the book, Ms. Meredith does a tremendous job explaining not only the reasons behind the rise of China and India, but how their rise impacts the U.S. But Ms. Meredith does not limit her analysis to to the macro level. She also addresses how these changes in the 'World Order' will impact individual workers in the U.S. Her advice for individuals in the U.S. is that:
"Americans should expect change and embrace it, rather than expect to work in the same job for an entire career like the previous generation. Americans must be ready for disruption and willing to undergo retraining to upgrade their skills and be ready to change careers to jump on new job opportunities when they arrive...Those who successfully adapt and meet the challenges will be more likely to have stable or growing paychecks."
Sage advice for all of us as we start the New Year.
