What might one advise the upcoming generation?
It is a very fast changing world in every way, and the future needs a mindset of adaptability, innovation, opportunism, resilience, initiative, and collaboration.
You do not know what new ways the world is going to change, but you need to know that it will change fast and surprisingly. So, be prepared to grasp opportunities, leverage like hell, communicate, and shape prospects proactively.
Most important of all, learn skills and ideas from various mentors, but don't model yourself entirely after any one of them – as the world you will occupy will be different from the ones they have occupied.
The future belongs to the creative and to the fearless, who know how to take risks and how to collaborate and share credits and power.
