TALKING TECH

The amazing thing about this video is that AT&T predicted all of this technology back in 1993 and today, almost everything in the video is now in existence. The reason why corporations such as AT&T have been able to survive for such a long time lies in the fact that they are always thinking ahead to predict what the market will eventually need.

Humans are restless; give us an internet connection speed that loads pages in 2 seconds and soon we will be complaining that it’s too slow. The world is ever-changing and nothing survives without a plan for the future. To succeed, your ideas must be vast, life-changing, and adaptable.

“In times of change, learners inherit the Earth, while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists.”

That commercial never gets old, no matter how many times I watch it.

We often find ourselves seeking security in careers very far off from our passions. Why? Because we don’t think differently. We follow the norm. We do what is expected of us. Even if all you cared about was making money, I guarantee you that you can still follow your passion and do just that.

How many times have we just lay awake in our beds at night thinking about our purpose in this world. I’ll tell you what I believe. Your purpose is to follow the things you love and make the most out of them. Be great. Be amazing. Find a way to change the world doing something you love. Every single person featured in that commercial LOVED what they did and that’s why they were able to change the world. Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., Einstein, Bob Dylan. They might have been considered crazy in their early stages of life for pursuing the things that they did but look at them now. They are etched in our history, forever part of this world. You want to live forever? Then leave a legacy; let people a thousand years from now remember your name, and that is how you will live forever.

Defy the norm. Think differently.
