Be like the dragonfly – define your paths.  #bebold

To thrive in markets, you must accumulate capabilities. But greatness comes when you master how to compound those capabilities. Do not allow your environments to constantly define your paths, like lifeless feathers do on waters. For those feathers, the water will toss them and move them wherever the water flows. Be like the dragonfly, which despite going against the mild water currents, reaches its destination.

The world is going through a structural redesign across many vistas, economic, technological, etc. The innovation society era which began towards the end of the 18th century, ending the invention society era, is now making way for the accelerated society era. For people, for organizations, and for nations, only the bold and dynamic will thrive, because scarcity, in the midst of abundance, will be unprecedented, for many who cannot adjust and recalibrate.

In the innovation society era, the performance of a great carpenter to an average carpenter could be a factor of 3. In the accelerated society era, with AI and autonomous system, across many areas, you can see orders of 1000s, between the deployed and non-deployed, on performance. The implication is massive because a new basis of competition will be created – and that will change many things.

Be like the dragonfly – define your paths.  #bebold.
