What Skills Will Actually Help Our Kids in the Future?

I keep thinking about what I can pass on to my kids - not just money or values, but real-life skills that will actually help them thrive in the future.

Obviously, it’s not the old Soviet-school gentleman’s kit: academic hard skills in every subject. In the age of AI and smartphones, who really needs encyclopedic knowledge of biology?

The Real Edge — Collaboration and Creation

So what matters?

Думаю, самое важное — это умение договариваться с другими людьми и создать что-то вместе. А значит, языки и много-много практики коммуникаций вокруг неочевидных ситуаций, психологии и бизнес-этики. С приправой по финансам, инвестициям, управлению и программированию. Немного юриспруденции… Стоп.

But Where Do Kids Learn These Things Today?

Why “Time Is Money” Doesn’t Apply to Entrepreneurs

Everyone who says “time is money” is lying - at least for entrepreneurs.

Over the years, I’ve realized that the most valuable resource isn’t time, money, or even your network.

Focused Attention Is Everything

The real currency is focused attention.

All the right decisions come from a state of deep flow - when no one interrupts you and you’re fully immersed in the work.

You know how your best thinking happens on airplanes? How do you get into that state daily?

ust fly more often))) Kidding (sort of)

hree Habits That Keep My Mind Clear and Focused

Here are three things that help me stay in flow:

1. Mute everything. Total silence across all devices. This is baseline. No further explanation needed.
2. Cold water immersion. I swim in icy water daily - it gets me into the right mental space faster than any meditation.
3. Delegate the small stuff. Attention is a muscle. You can’t do 1,000 pull-ups in a row, right? Same here.

Admin Tasks Are the Fastest Way to Waste a Day

Gave a courier directions? Booked a dentist appointment?

Congrats, your day is done. Go get yourself another one.
