Books Are Magic!πŸ“šπŸ“š

Anthea from Lifestyle Happy Place

πŸ“š Jim Kwik talks about it all the time. Knowledge is power!

πŸ“š If you can find 45min a day and read a book you be able to learn more and open the doors of opportunity more often, just by learning something new.

πŸ“š What I like about reading is that it can take me away for a bit. Into a different life, someone's story, someone else's dream and get lost just for a bit.

πŸ“š A kind of holiday away from the hectic world we live in and it dont cost a thing.

πŸ“š One tip is to read something that can help you to improve yourself and then share the knowledge with someone elseπŸ’•πŸ™

It's the best way to retain info.

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
