If you ask what are the 3 most important things human beings need to have to survive, you will likely get the 3 answers you also imagine. They are probably necessary, but are they sufficient?
Let's look at the problem from a different perspective and get some interesting surprises.
The 3 things humans need to survive the next 100 years: Resiliency, networking, and time management
1. THE 3 THINGS HUMAN BEINGS NEED
TO SURVIVE
TO THE NEXT 100 YEARS CHALLENGES
#FutureOf
Massimo Cardaci – 20.10.2013
2. If you ask people what are the
3 factors
allowing Human Beings to survive
to the next 100 years’ challenges, the
responses will aggregate around 3 themes
5. But…
There are many people dying for having too much
food…
There are many people suicide even if they have
sufficient food…
There are many people surviving with insufficient
food.
8. But…
The history of human beings shows that there were
always wars (big and small) and some people
always survived…
There are a lot of people in peaceful countries
killed by a fight with the neigh borough…
11. But…
Still the history of human beings shows that there
were always new diseases for which there was not
a cure and human beings always found ways to
survive…
Absence of food and water kills more than medical
diseases.
12. All these are for sure useful.
Probably necessary.
But are they sufficient?
17. Strength of will
is what allows:
waking up regularly at 5am to go running to
stay fit, or
to stop smoking, or
working 14 hours per day to get a reward or
promotion.
18. Resilience
is what allows
to absorb the hits of the life and restart;
to bend under these hits, but then to stand again;
to feel the energetic pressure of the many
“no”, humiliations, injustices, life and medical
issues, and then, against any logic and sometimes
human comprehension, to start again.
24. To be resilient,
we must ensure we have time…
to recover from life hits
to control and re-set our list of values
to build, feed and grow the network with
other resilient drops, starting from your own
family
25. Time is the only good that has not a price:
you cannot buy it
Everyone knows it’s precious, but we always
waste it
and it does not return
27. THANK YOU!
