Here's the point, the skills that made a person successful won't last forever. That's why it is essential to develop new skills and expand one's network. For example, my first work involves legal research and legal writing. Thinking that I won't be doing it forever, I need to learn academic writing, business writing, management skills and even blogging. I did widen my horizon by studying many other writing-related skills.
I'm afraid of the risks in not updating my skills, too. Why? The demands of time are always changing, it's safe to prepare for whatever circumstances to come. I can't imagine if writing skills will become outdated in the next twenty years. Lastly, it's also important to become valuable in the organization where you belong. It's one way of expanding networks and having opportunities.
