Modern work de-mands knowledge transfer: the ability to apply knowledge to new situa- tions and different domains. Our most fundamental thought processes have changed to accommodate increasing complexity and the need to derive new patterns rather than rely only on familiar ones. Our concep- tual classification schemes provide a scaffolding for connecting knowl- edge, making it accessible and flexible.
Dance Across Diciplines
They aren't giving students the tools to analyze the modern world, except in their area of specialization. Their education is too nar- row." He does not mean this in the simple sense that every computer science major needs an art history class, but rather that everyone needs habits of mind that allow them to dance across disciplines

They must be taught to think before being taught what to think about

It all raises the question: Just what magical training mechanism was deployed to transform the orphan foundlings of the Venetian sex indus- try, who but for the grace of charity would have died in the city's canals, into the world's original international rock stars?
Do not rely on particular example for learning
That is, the more contexts in which something is learned, the more the learner creates abstract models, and the less they rely on any particular example. Learners become better at applying their knowledge to a situ- ation they've never seen before, which is the essence of creativity.............You don't know what's right or what's wrong. You don't have that in your head. You're just trying to find a solution to problems, and after fifty lifetimes, it starts to come together for you. It's slow," he told me, "but at the same time, there's something to learning that way."
One of those desirable difficulties is known as the "generation ef safect." Struggling to generate an answer on your own, even a wrong one enhances subsequent learning.

Short Term Planning
No one in their right mind would argue that passion and persever- ance are unimportant, or that a bad day is a cue to quit. But the idea that a change of interest, or a recalibration of focus, is an imperfection and competitive disadvantage leads to a simple, one-size-fits-all Tiger story: pick and stick, as soon as possible. Responding to lived experi- ence with a change of direction, like Van Gogh did habitually, like West Point graduates have been doing since the dawn of the knowledge econ- omy, is less tidy but no less important. It involves a particular behavior that improves your chances of finding the best match, but that at first blush sounds like a terrible life strategy: short-term planning

Facing uncertain environments and wicked problems, breadth of experience is invaluable. Facing kind problems, narrow specialization can be remarkably efficient. The problem is that we often expect the hyperspecialist, because of their expertise in a narrow area, to magi cally be able to extend their skill to wicked problems. The results can be disastrous.

Just as Tetlock says of the best forecasters, it is not what they think, but how they think. The best forecasters are high in active open-mindedness. They are also extremely curious, and don't merely consider contrary ideas, they proactively cross disciplines looking for them. "Depth can be inadequate without breadth," wrote Jonathan Baron, the psychologist who developed measurements of active open-mindedness.
