"And the kind of chaos that is happening. We sometimes forget to understand the difference between life living and livelihood. Right? So life is what you are gifted with living is your breath every day that you do you are alive in the moment right here all alive right now and livelihood is about earning money right getting into occupational tasks businesses owning money and giving you know life right?"

Many time’s people say why should I know or think like a futurist or have foresight or strategy or why should I have no vision because I am going to be an employee. How would you like to be a Kodak?
Or how would you like to be an employing Blackberry or maybe Nokia? So you have to be very careful in choosing organizations. Even if you're going to be an employee because mind you at the end of the day when you become part of the organizational vision mission and strategy Etc. You have to ensure that your commitment is respected and the value that you create for the organization. The organization also needs to create value for the employees if you are. In business you have no options but to you know, understand futurism have strategic foresight and of course till you know acting, today's maximum in the world is if you don't innovate your table and you can see what is happening in the terms of Destruction.
