Brief Overview
Having people keep to the time limit really allowed more discussion time in class which was a great change in my opinion :D
We talked about the industrial/production system changing from a liner to a cyclical one and how the entire economy is moving towards a new frontier.
Interesting Observations
Prof Shahi "Opportunities are created in times of crisis (危机）"
This is such an intriguing point!!!! I totally agree that times of urgent crisis bring out the best (sometimes worst) in people.
I was taught a similar analogy about women "Women are like teabags. You won't know how strong they are until you soak them in hot water".
Looking at today's context, such a situation applies too >< It is only when we realise that we're running out of all sorts of resources and feeling the impact of environmental degradation (global warming) THEN we start to panic and find solutions to correct them!
It is true that prevention is better than cure. But frankly, which sad emo dude would start to think about all the possible 'go-wrong' cases in every situation everyday and try to prevent them?!
So the best way is still to make the best out of the opportunities that arise in times of crisis!
Key Takeaways:
1. 3 types of opportunities (Valley, Summit, Cloud)
2. By Tom Peters: Life is pretty simple, you do some stuff, most fail. Some works. You do more of what works. If it works big, others quickly copy it. Then you do something else. The trick is doing something else.
Issues for Further Discussion:
1. The 3 types of opportunities (too few airtime for it ><)
2. Cyclical industrial models (some examples)
Personal rating:
6.5/10
