But fast forward today, you jump into Uber without even an eye contact with the driver, and visit a new city and sleep past checkout time in your Airbnb room.

An Igbo axiom suggests that you need to move around to watch a great masquerade. Indeed, you need to shift on old norms to find current opportunities because the world is changing.

Comment #1: Opportunities are unlimited in scope but we are limited by our intellectual capacity to interface with them at scale.

Some opportunities are less obvious than others. Oftentimes, the less obvious they are to perceive or acknowledge, they more rewarding. It’s pertinent to that effect that we’re constantly gaining perspectives on new possibilities to create and harness opportunities at scale.
Comment $2: Ordinarily, this is what education is meant to do, to liberate the mind, so that you do not waste your time fighting what you cannot control, rather you keep evolving and adapting, with new opportunities emerging for you to seize.

The unfortunate thing is that people spend a disproportionate amount of time defending and protecting things that are already obsolete, and by the time they realise it, they are already far behind, only to cling to another soon to be moribund practice, always in the past.

This is how you end up living your entire life in the past, for perpetually being late to the party, making you ineligible to either create a future or live in one, it’s that unfortunate.

By not rescinding old ways of doing things, you will be unable to create a new path, and the constant squabbles between defending old knowledge and embracing new one, will end up stunting your progress severely, ensuring that you remain eternally subpar.
