2. What are the main problems of
employees in tourism?
Unemployment

3. What happens to a bottle of soda when you
shake it up?
It EXPLODES!

4. Sometimes things go
wrong, and we feel
shaken up. As a
result, we might
EXPLODE on
someone or
something. This is
called being
REACTIVE. Has this
ever happened to
you?

5. When you are
PROACTIVE,
you make a choice about
how you react to the
things that happen in
your life. You act like a
water bottle.
You might get shaken
up or mad, but you stay
calm and don’t explode!

7. Ok, I can face with my future problems!
But how? Where to start?
Education

9. - The TOP 10 in-demand jobs in 2010.
did not exist in 2004.
- What students learn in their first year of
study will be outdated by their third year of
study
- Today’s learner will have10-14 jobs by
the age of 38!
Formal university education is a big
giant who is too slow and can not
follow the changes in these high-
speed informational era.
YOU will have to learn more!
YOU will have to be PROACTIVE!

10. There are some problems with FORMAL
EDUCATION:
- Outdated school and university
programmes

11. Why
do
YOU
learn?

12. There is also NON-FORMAL or
SELF-EDUCATION:

- Try to learn every day
Formal education will make you a
living; self-education will make you a
FORTUNE!
- It keeps your knowledge actual

13. Internet

What to learn?

needed!

25. Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes
up. It knows it must run faster than the
fastest lion or it will be killed.
Every morning in Africa a lion wakes up.
It knows it must outrun the slowest
gazelle or it will starve to death.
It doesn’t matter whether you are a lion
or a gazelle: when the sun comes up,
you’d better be running.
