Mythology Vs Marvel: Reinventing To Stay Ahead Of The Curve

If you aren’t relevant then you are redundant (or soon to be)! No nicer way to say this.

With the ever-transient dynamics of today’s world, you need to constantly adapt, keep up with the new ways of working and the changes of the world around you - skills, technologies, acceptable norms, and culture, repurposing knowledge.

Yes, the subject intrinsically could be, but the same, what matters is the application and packaging.

You sure have watched and followed the Marvel series with all its glorious superheroes, villains, fantastical powers, and the never-tiring good vs evil.

The same many of you may have heard of the Indian Mythologies but may not have actually watched it or read it. While this was no less a prime-time blockbuster of the late 80's.?

Hope that you did know they have their versions of superheroes, villains, the similar fantastical powers albeit technological prowess, with the same bait of good vs evil. Clearly, Mythology and Marvel featured similar core elements.?

Yet, one is more popular, widely recognized, and more actively consumed today than the other. While the other is the lesser-known, in the global and generational audience. What are the Marvel stories doing differently compared to the mythological ones?

Because as professionals, we need to be doing precisely that, find that mojo in varying contexts. Safeguard ourselves from becoming a one-project wonder or a one-decade star, retain an evergreen status.

The devil’s in the details and maybe apply this individually and collectively. With the relatable expression of their high-interest characters, Marvel has the attention of their target audience on lock. Even with the age-old narrative of good vs evil, Marvel has cracked the code of staying relevant just by reinventing.?

The plethora of opportunities are wide open and so is information. With that in mind today, you and you alone drive your career - you know you better than any other. If you are finding your career or growth stagnant it’s on you, not the organization.?Get clarity and be real with yourself - take stock, unlearning, and relearning could be the superpowers that you were looking for.?

Knowledge is replaceable, in the application of it comes wisdom and experience - thus reigning in the relevance.

Unlock it!

It has never been as important to focus on communication - on-point packaging of language and tonality.?

The channels and platforms to speak your mind, and share honest opinions is ever rising, however, the bar on being thoughtful and respectful one that resonates with the climate is set higher (about time).?

How we say and what we say is determined by the relevance of the current climate. Old-world usage of language or behavior is questionable in the now-world.

Only by constantly questioning ourselves, accepting contextual changes as individuals and organizations, can we manage to stay relevant if not a step ahead.
