3 things Human Beings need to Survive to the next 100 years challenges
- 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
- 4. Yes Food and water are a primary biological need for life survival
- 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.
- 7. Of course If we have a global nuclear war…
- 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…
- 10. Naturally Medicines increase human beings’ capability to survive to old and new diseases
- 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?
- 13. So, what do we really need?
- 14. (1) RESILIENCY
- 15. “Resiliency” is not “Resistance” and is not “Strength of will”
- 16. Resistance is what allows to say: “I will break, but I will never bend!”
- 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.
- 19. (2) NETWORKING
- 20. Each resilient human being is like a drop of water. S/He is powerful, but his resiliency has a limit: a big fire may vaporize the water drop
- 21. But if you join enough drops, you have an ocean, and even the strongest fire will not have a chance.
- 22. That’s Networking: building a worldwide net of resilient drops across national, cultural, gender and age borders
- 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
- 26. Concrete and effective Time Management applied to our whole life is really required to support Resiliency.
