What kind of world will we be living in the future
what kind of world are we living in
an uncertain and complex world
just take a look at this generation it’s
so
different and incomparable to any other
previous generations
take a look at this year in particular
your 2020. i remember
how a new year’s eve last year we had
these amazing plans for the new decade
who knew kowitt would take our world
this pandemic has completely
revolutionized the way we look at our
lives
which is obviously not surprising right
as change has always been permanent and
universal
it’s always been happening with us
evolving with us evolving
for us evolving due to us
covet has truly shaken our world economy
our education systems are pressurized
health care systems have stretched
their max unemployment levels have risen
and the list goes on
this has been going on for too long and
i think it is important to adapt to this
level of uncertainty
so what would we call this world
more precisely the vuca world
how many of you have heard about revuka
vuga stands for volatile
uncertain complex and ambiguous
mooca has gained a lot of popularity in
the recent years
it was first used in the us army
colleges
now used to describe a rapidly changing
world
volatile where changes are vigorous and
uncontrollable
as we all have seen from the current
pandemic which has been unfolding
uncertain why changes make the future
unpredictable
due to the advancing technology and
what kind of careers would thrive in the
coming years with the emergence of
artificial intelligence and other
technologies
complex where there’s chaos and conflict
due to rising unknowns
we’ve all experienced the extent of
drastic changes
this year particularly these 10 months
be it in
employment government policies
education systems and general lifestyle
patterns
ambiguous where there’s lack of clarity
due to rising unknowns
and there is always a need to take risk
so it is fair to say that vuca has
become a way of life for us
right do you all agree
and will always be
don’t it so what do we do
simply accept it and deal with it
or learn how to solve it
but can we really solve it
let’s take a look eric mcnuttly
has said that vuca isn’t something to be
solved
it’s simply it’s attempts to simplify
complexity
break down volatility uncertainty down
into smaller and smaller parts
in hopes that each one can be decoded
encountered
will not make them go away this means
it’s definitely not something we can
master
because not everything is in our control
if we take a look at the covert 19
pandemic
it truly disrupted our world
and surely it wouldn’t have been avoided
or mastered would it
we don’t really have the survival
instincts to thrive
because not everything is in our control
so who is going to survive and thrive
those who are open to new changes
and thrive on new experiences
let’s take a look at the kobe 19
pandemic
we’ve all been adjusting to it and
surely we will have to adjust
in the future talking about change
as youth we have really changed
we are very different from the
millennials
there’s a common stereotype followed
whenever we are about generation zed
that they learnt how to swipe
even before learning how to talk
well that’s funny but not much linked to
the youth of my age
so now the question arises
are we able to truly survive amidst
these uncertainties
are we adapting well because the future
is going to be
all about getting ahead of the curve
with the right mindset
and capabilities the ability
to think differently learn differently
act differently and feel differently is
going to make us stand out
to manage our futures
but however these days most youth face a
common issue
which is very important for the build-up
of self-esteem
to trigger uniqueness and innovation
it’s the lack of self-belief and
self-confidence which acts as a major
disadvantage
in maximizing potential with this in
mind
i started an initiative called globe
uplift
globe uplift aims to bring youth
together from different parts of life
in hopes of creating a better future for
all of us
we are a team of over 65 individuals
from different parts of the world
passionate and willing to contribute to
today’s societal issues
by bringing economic social
political and environmental issues to
light
to foster youth involvement in today’s
issues
we conduct live virtual talks and
discussions
we truly hope to create a world where we
as youth
feel empowered and we understand
our abilities understand our
responsibilities
and sense the power we have
in our voice i feel
together as a stronger force we can
drive change
or at least reinforce action
or individual reflection
to turn a rapidly changing world in our
favor
it will require each of us to reform our
mindset
what do i mean by reforming our mindset
in order to grow get stronger and get
better
each one of us here needs to move from a
disruption
anxious mindset to a disruption
embracing mindset radical acceptance of
our reality
is necessary change
is not always good but it’s never
always a threat either although
we’re vulnerable we are equally
resilient
than we imagine ourselves to be
charles darwin has said it is not the
strongest of the species that survive
nor the most intelligent that survive
is the one most adaptable to change
soon this world is only going to stuff
with those
who are open to new changes and thrive
on new experiences old ways
are not going to open new doors for us
in the presence of luca we need to start
cultivating
change as part of our culture as
that’s how real magic would be created
thank you
you
