Training, Re-training and On-going Training

Many people, maybe just too many people have this very skewed perspective about the concept of training. Even the definition of Training found in Wikipedia is too obscure for a person to really understand what the heck training is about.

To this, I tend to be very simplistic. It's ALL about repetitively performing some predefined tasks in order to adapt to a particular work.

Strictly following this definition of training, I don't think any creative minds would like the idea. As a matter of fact, any currently highly trained workforces are all very likely to be replaced by computerized automation or robotic solution in the future. YOU'RE FIRED.

I'll despise myself if anybody tagged me as highly trained. No no, that's not me.

Creativity, innovation, revolutionary, evolutionary, dynamic, spontaneous and even FUN are the attributes I will value for any senior personnel I'm going to hire. Well of course, in any organizations we need foot soldiers or so called highly trained specialists to actually do the jobs.

The truth is even a person like me need to bow down to the dreaded cruel reality in order to make a living, so YES, you can just viewed me as highly trained (and I would like to add the word) sophisticated specialist but make sure you compensate me well.

The bottomline is any such highly trained person shouldn't forget that they too can make a difference by thinking out of the box. Don't just be a fool. LOL

Now, I'm thinking about training a data mining model to do my analytical thinking, YEAH BABE YEAH !
