Part 1 for your business success,,
Never let your ego block your progress
Progress in business is all about making your pitch higher. The first challenge for your ego in your business is changing how you act in life. You should learn to switch from acting out of your ego, meaning your assumptions, beliefs and convictions, to acting out of feedback that you regularly gather from your environment by performing experiments. It’s the best way to stay flexible.
The second challenge is facing the results when data disprove your ego assumptions. The feedback you get from your environment is different from what you expected. It hurts. It seems impossible. It lowers your feeling of self-worth. You don’t feel so smart anymore. But all you need to remember is that success is a result of good judgments, which are as a result of experience, which is a result of bad judgments. You can be beaten up in one instance or another but that doesn’t mean you are defeated.
It’s hard to face the fact that you’re wrong. It’s so hard to admit that the objective reality is different from your subjective reality, just because your subjective reality feels so real. That’s why you build illusions in your head. You also have a tendency to finish things that you begin. For example, you usually watch a movie until the end, even if it’s bad. Those are all reasons why you want to persist at things that don’t work. It’s hard to stop doing something that you’re so sure of and on top of that you want to finish what you have started. That’s why you need the search mode in your life – to start small, to gather feedback from day one, to fail fast and stop doing things that are not working.

I just want you to have an overlook of how last year jobs were ranked in US to urge you guys on the need of being interested in big data,because it is not only in US but worldwide.So mathematician must be ready to major and perfect in this sector to make them more perfect and marketable ever.

According to April 14 2016 ,the US annual Jobs Related report based the rankings on four core criteria: environment, income, outlook and stress.

Data scientists were given pole position due to a “promising employment outlook” and “lucrative opportunities”.

The careers site noted that out of the top 10 professions listed, four of them were maths-intensive: data scientist, statistician (second place), mathematician (ranked number six) and actuary.

It said this equalled a “booming market for those who deal with numbers”. Last year, the role of an actuary topped the list.

CareerCast explained that data science was a relatively new field. The job combines information technology, statistical analysis and other disciplines to interpret trends from data.

Within the top-10 best jobs, actuaries came fourth in terms of annual median salary ($96,700) after data scientists, mathematicians and software engineers.

For growth outlook, actuaries and information security analysts have 18% of projected employment growth by 2024, after statisticians, audiologists, diagnostic medical sonographers, mathematicians, computer systems analysts and speech therapists.

The profession of information security analyst was a new addition to the report, making third place.

“With an increasing number of data breaches and hacking attempts affecting companies and governments around the globe, there’s a greater need for information security analysts to keep personal and top-secret information safe from cyber-attacks,” explained the website.

By contrast, the worst job was newspaper reporter, followed by tree logger, broadcaster and disc jockey.

“Declining employment opportunities contributed to the inclusion of many of the 10 worst careers in the 2016 Jobs Rated report,” said Kyle Kensing, online content editor at CareerCast.

“Traditional news media is particularly hard hit due to newspapers folding or moving to digital-only, and waning advertising revenue.”

Top 10 best jobs and how they fared in 2015 in brackets, with annual median salary and growth outlook to 2024:

1. Data scientist (+5) – $128,240, 16.02%

2. Statistician (+2) – $79,990, 34%

3. Information security analyst (N/A) – $88,890, 18%

4. Audiologist (-2) – $73,060, 29%

5. Diagnostic medical sonographer (N/A) – $62,540, 24%

6. Mathematician (-3) – $103,720, 21%

7. Software engineer (+1) – $97,990, 17%

8. Computer systems analyst (+1) – $82,710, 21%

9. Speech pathologist (+2) – $71,550, 21%

10. Actuary (-9) – $96,700, 18%

The actuarial recruiters at Smith Hanley Associates would like to share our view of the 7 Key Industry Disrupters that actuaries must pay close attention to in 2017. In the ever evolving, ever more complex insurance environment, here is what to watch out for.

1. Smart Cars

For everyone that attended this years Annual SOA conference in Las Vegas we were provided a unique insight to what the future of automated transportation may look like. The evolution of smart transportation raises some interesting questions in regards to the actuarial & insurance profession. Calculating and assigning risk will be just one of the challenges we begin to look at in 2017.

2. Affordable Care Act

Anyone who paid attention at all to President elect Trump’s campaign knows the future of Obamacare (ACA) is very much in doubt. Whether certain portions are replaced or repealed entirely remains to be seen but certainly many healthcare actuaries are paying close attention to the changes expected to take place under the new regime.

3. M&A

Not content with over a decade of 2 to 3% GDP growth, organizations are instead looking to grow through mergers & acquisition’s rather than through organic endeavors. In the actuarial profession no where is this more evident than in health insurance. The proposed mergers of Aetna & Humana and CIGNA & Anthem, if allowed, will pose some interesting questions regarding operating synergy between the new organizations.

4. PBR

Principle based reserving which goes into effect January 1, 2017 for many in the US life insurance market will provide more accurate reserves based on the true risk of individual products. This system will allow companies to adjust reserves based on economic outlook and increased data, leading to more accurate and effective actuarial work .

5. Climate Change/Catastrophic Events

The insurance industry has incurred record losses in recent years due to extreme weather,and one of our most pressing matters is climate change. It will be paramount for insurers and reinsurers to invest more time into catastrophe risk. In order to anticipate the actual consequences, actuaries will need to use more forward projections and not just rely on historical data when creating CAT Models. Demand will only increase for this type of modeling expertise.

6. Insurance Taxation

With a new President and a Republican controlled congress, controversy has already begun to stir about new tax proposals. It is apparent that all insurers, regardless of size or specialty, should tighten up on operating costs and be meticulous about spending capital. The reserving work of actuaries will be a huge component in allowing companies to maintain a competitive edge and avoid costly and time consuming regulation penalties.

7. Cyber Insurance

With the amount of data being generated daily by the internet, wariness of cyber risk is certainly widespread. However, it is still an underutilized opportunity by insurers and reinsurers in today’s marketplace. Today’s actuary must be aware of the growing threat of cyber risk as well as the growth of cyber insurance. This is an exciting new product area, however, there are many challenges for actuaries: limited availability of data, weak policy standards and ever evolving risks.



Actuarial work has never been more exciting or more changeable. If you are interested in hearing where your skills fit in this new environment,just call.
