“I'm enough of an artist to draw freely on my imagination, which I think is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.” Einstein
IMPROVISE D LIVES ASSET
Review of Takeaways  You can get inspiration from 100 different people and 100 different fields.  And then imagine you are a farmer and you are growing 100 creative projects: Let 100 flowers bloom!  The world needs interesting, unique, weird people – like you!  It is not easy to scare yourself and set yourself new challenges and adventures. But if you do it, you will be rewarded. You will be happier.  What kind of a super-hero are you? How will you help other people?
Your most crucial task is: Create your own creative assets. Start now! Use your semester project as an opportunity to create your own intellectual and creative assets. Do not take yourself seriously. Take your work seriously. Do not be trapped by your ego – this will make you mediocre. You cannot learn and grow if you try to be clever all the time. It is much better to be naïve, hungry, foolish, playful, and curious. Review of Takeaways
You need to live exponentially and avoid mediocrity. Life is short and you are the hero. Make a difference. Being part of something large feels good. We are a community of learners & experimenters. Create your own category and be the owner of that category. Surprises, adventures, puzzles, exciting ventures, new projects, artistic pursuits are good for your health. You need a bit more chaos, randomness, dance, singing, independent learning, writing, and creating in your life. Improvisation is magic – it improves your life instantly. Review of Takeaways
Your diary is your best friend. Your diary is a seed catalogue of all your ideas. Write, draw, reflect, capture your ideas every day. We live in an imagination economy. Ideas are the new currency. Your attention (i.e. your time) is the most precious thing in the world. Life is not only about the next goal to be captured. There is more to life than that. We are not machines. We need adventures. Sometimes, you need to relax, breathe, loosen up – just be. What if you had quadruple lives – wouldn’t this enrich you as a person? “Curiosity does not kill the cat. The cat thrives through curiosity.” Dr. Fahri Karakas Review of Takeaways
Treat 2020 as the year of ASSET CREATION Work regularly and consistently on your individual project for this semester. Create creative assets for your future. SEVEN I PROJECT (Kickstarter type project) ENTREPRENEURIAL BUSINESS PROPOSAL (Shark Tank type project) • Think about the assets you want to create for your future • Do not think like a student. Do not treat this as assignment. • Do this for your own future. • Do something real – create something exciting and fresh.
Exercise: Your Unique Strengths
Asset Creation: How will you go forward? “Draw the art you want to see, start the business you want to buy from, play the music you want to hear, write the books you want to read, build the products you want to use.” - Austin Kleon
Long Term Thinking and Productive Habits https://benjaminhardy.com/want- to-become-a-multi-millionaire-do- these-15-things-immediately/ Read and reflect on how you will apply each principle in your life. These principles will help you tremendously in your journey of asset creation.

MINI-WORKSHOP FUTURE GENERATIONS
HERE IS A PUZZLE: Which problem is the greatest that faces future generations? Climate Emergency – Global Warming
Before the Flood (Climate Change)
Ice on Fire (2019) - Climate Change Documentary
Climate Emergency
HERE IS A PUZZLE: In our times, if Trump represents the worst kind of old/blind capitalist power and greed (Goliath), who represents youth wisdom with clarity (David)? Greta Thunberg
Greta Thunberg attacks world leaders: "How dare you?"
Greta Thunberg On 20th August 2018, after a summer of heatwaves and wildfires in her native Sweden, 15-year-old Greta Thunberg decided not to attend school: If the planet had no future, she argued, there was no point in studying. Inspired by “school strikes” against shootings in the US, Thunberg’s demands were straightforward: that the Swedish government reduce carbon emissions as per the Paris Agreement. Thunberg has since inspired a wave of school strikes across the world—with an estimated 1.4m students taking part—and spoken at the UN Climate Change Conference. She says her autism, far from being a hindrance, helps her see the world’s problems in black and white. She speaks with blistering clarity.
Greta alone in 2018. 2019: Look at the scale of the movement she started
“Young people begin to understand adults’ betrayal of the planet” “The eyes of all future generations” will be watching.” Greta Thunberg
Climate Emergency As we near 2030—the year that capitalism was meant to be over, the time when we were meant to have advanced and elevated ourselves— the predictions are not rosy. In October 2018, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change concluded that global warming is likely to reach 1.5 °C between 2030 and 2052 if temperatures continue to increase at the current rate. In the event we do hit that mark, experts predict: • a rise of between 26 and 77 centimeters (10 and 30 inches) in sea level, • a rapid increase in species extinctions, • hundreds of millions more people experiencing water and food shortages, and • sustained extreme weather the likes of which the modern human species has never encountered. We have been stockpiling not just wealth, but disasters.
A new generation and a new understanding • Capitalist production has become an objective hazard for the entirety of human society. • We need to establish new standards for social well-being—standards beyond GDP growth and bottom line. • We need to get the carbon out of the atmosphere and the plastics out of the ocean, keep the oil in the ground and the undomesticated species we have left alive. Anything else is a catastrophic failure. • A YouGov poll found that support for capitalism among Americans under 30 fell from 39% to 30% between 2015 and 2018—14 percentage points below the average and 26 points below the figure for seniors. • The kids recognize that capitalism has been using up human and natural resources rather than building a better society. • Much to everyone’s surprise, Keynes’s grandchildren have become Marxists. The workforce of 2030 is the last true cohort that market capitalism gets. “Keynes was wrong. Gen Z will have it worse.” By Malcolm Harris
CLIMATE EMERGENCY How can you address this wicked problem as a future business leader?
HERE IS A PUZZLE: We have had Generations X, Y, and Z. What comes after? Which letter represents the next generation born after 2010? ALPHA!
HERE IS A PUZZLE: What are the names of generations that come after Alpha? BETA, GAMMA, and DELTA
HERE ARE THE FUTURE GENERATIONS: ALPHA GENERATION: Born between 2010-2024 BETA GENERATION: Born between 2025-2039 GAMMA GENERATION: Born between 2040-2054 DELTA GENERATION: Born between 2055-2069
The Alpha Generation is also known as _____________ There are more than 2.5 million Gen Alphas born globally every week. When they have all been born (2025), they will number almost two billion. They are in primary school now – they are the most formally educated generation ever, the most technology supplied generation ever, and globally the wealthiest generation ever. They will experience AI, robotics, 5G, IoT, and space travel. Screens are placed in front of them from the youngest age as pacifiers, entertainers and educational aids. They were born in 2010, the year the iPad was introduced, Instagram was created and “app” was the word of the year. They already interact with Google Home and Alexa on a regular basis, requesting jokes or asking for facts about the weather. They have been raised as “screenagers” to a greater extent so they are also called GENERATION ___________ GENERATION GLASS
The biggest celebrity of the Alpha Generation is not Michael Jordan, nor Taylor Swift. WHO? Hint: This is a YouTube Channel having 24 million subscribers, and $112 millions net worth as of Feb 2020. Ryan ToysReview! (Ryan’s World)
IMPROVISE D LIVES MOONSHOTS & Asset
The future is complicated
Moonshot Projects
UN Global Compact: The Breakthrough Mindset
I have recently read: Bold: How to Go Big, Create Wealth, and Impact the World– Peter H Diamandis • A radical, how-to guide for using exponential technologies, moonshot thinking, and crowd-powered tools to create extraordinary wealth while also positively impacting the lives of billions. • Part 1: exponential technologies: 3D printing, artificial intelligence, robotics, networks and sensors, and synthetic biology. • Part 2: Psychology of Bold: Larry Page, Elon Musk, Richard Branson, Jeff Bezos, Singularity University, XPRIZE, Planetary Resources, & Human Longevity, Inc. • Part 3: incentive competitions, crowdfunding campaigns, crowd- powered tools.
What is the Purpose of a Corporation? On August 19 the Business Roundtable issued an open letter titled “Statement on the Purpose of a Corporation.” One of the preeminent business lobbies in the United States, the Business Roundtable (BR) includes the CEOs of leading U.S. companies from Apple to Walmart. Sandwiched between the spare title and 181 signatures was a one-page declaration that ended as follows: “Each of our stakeholders is essential. We commit to deliver value to all of them, for the future success of our companies, our communities and our country.”

KEY TAKEAWAYS OF TODAY
Slide 1.127  To solve wicked problems of the 21st century, you need to think beyond borders and disciplines.  Invest in yourself and your learning every day. This is the biggest investment you can ever make. 1) Ask Right Questions + Follow Your Interests + Intense Curiosity + Continuous Learning + Imagination + Passion 2) Courage: Take Risks + Consistent Small Actions + Smart Moves + Hard Work + Play Your Game + Resilience + Resourcefulness  Think about where you will be after 10 years. Act according to that vision.  You can be as big as your dreams and ambitions.
Slide 1.128  You can use improvisation to increase adventure and quality in your life.  Try to apply automated writing, drawing, doodling, story- telling, ideating, designing, creating, dancing, and singing in your life.  In this life, it is never too late to follow your interests, curiosities, and passions.  Show up for creative work and use random prompts or anchors to get going. Start small – small is beautiful.  Business as usual is over. We need a new paradigm of business that solves complex problems ahead of us.
Slide 1.129  In your profession, it is not enough to know only about business or finance or HR or marketing. You need to think bigger.  Be a polymath: An individual whose knowledge spans a significant number of subjects, known to draw on complex bodies of knowledge to solve specific problems.  Be an autodidact: A self-taught person individual who initiates and manages his/her own learning and reads voraciously  Be a hunter and learner of most interesting things. Cross boundaries – there are no borders.  Go out of your comfort zone. Learn outside your discipline. Think and act wider.
Slide 1.130  This lecture itself was improvised. I learned all the things on these slides in the last two weeks. I prepared all the contents & slides in the last 60 hours.  I had to make hard choices and reduced from 250 slides. Many things I learned did not make the final cut.  All the rules of traditional lectures and curriculum – I have thrown them out from the window.  Sometimes I feel terrified: Am I on the right track? Does this make sense to you? What do you think? Please provide me feedback and let me know.  Education as usual is dead. Long live lifetime learning!  Assume responsibility for your own learning.
Slide 1.131 Thank you

    Review of Takeaways You can get inspiration from 100 different people and 100 different fields.  And then imagine you are a farmer and you are growing 100 creative projects: Let 100 flowers bloom!  The world needs interesting, unique, weird people – like you!  It is not easy to scare yourself and set yourself new challenges and adventures. But if you do it, you will be rewarded. You will be happier.  What kind of a super-hero are you? How will you help other people?

    Your most crucialtask is: Create your own creative assets. Start now! Use your semester project as an opportunity to create your own intellectual and creative assets. Do not take yourself seriously. Take your work seriously. Do not be trapped by your ego – this will make you mediocre. You cannot learn and grow if you try to be clever all the time. It is much better to be naïve, hungry, foolish, playful, and curious. Review of Takeaways
  • 16.
    You need tolive exponentially and avoid mediocrity. Life is short and you are the hero. Make a difference. Being part of something large feels good. We are a community of learners & experimenters. Create your own category and be the owner of that category. Surprises, adventures, puzzles, exciting ventures, new projects, artistic pursuits are good for your health. You need a bit more chaos, randomness, dance, singing, independent learning, writing, and creating in your life. Improvisation is magic – it improves your life instantly. Review of Takeaways
  • 17.
    Your diary isyour best friend. Your diary is a seed catalogue of all your ideas. Write, draw, reflect, capture your ideas every day. We live in an imagination economy. Ideas are the new currency. Your attention (i.e. your time) is the most precious thing in the world. Life is not only about the next goal to be captured. There is more to life than that. We are not machines. We need adventures. Sometimes, you need to relax, breathe, loosen up – just be. What if you had quadruple lives – wouldn’t this enrich you as a person? “Curiosity does not kill the cat. The cat thrives through curiosity.” Dr. Fahri Karakas Review of Takeaways

    Greta Thunberg On 20thAugust 2018, after a summer of heatwaves and wildfires in her native Sweden, 15-year-old Greta Thunberg decided not to attend school: If the planet had no future, she argued, there was no point in studying. Inspired by “school strikes” against shootings in the US, Thunberg’s demands were straightforward: that the Swedish government reduce carbon emissions as per the Paris Agreement. Thunberg has since inspired a wave of school strikes across the world—with an estimated 1.4m students taking part—and spoken at the UN Climate Change Conference. She says her autism, far from being a hindrance, helps her see the world’s problems in black and white. She speaks with blistering clarity.

  • 75.
    “Young people beginto understand adults’ betrayal of the planet” “The eyes of all future generations” will be watching.” Greta Thunberg
  • 77.
    Climate Emergency As wenear 2030—the year that capitalism was meant to be over, the time when we were meant to have advanced and elevated ourselves— the predictions are not rosy. In October 2018, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change concluded that global warming is likely to reach 1.5 °C between 2030 and 2052 if temperatures continue to increase at the current rate. In the event we do hit that mark, experts predict: • a rise of between 26 and 77 centimeters (10 and 30 inches) in sea level, • a rapid increase in species extinctions, • hundreds of millions more people experiencing water and food shortages, and • sustained extreme weather the likes of which the modern human species has never encountered. We have been stockpiling not just wealth, but disasters.
  • 79.
    A new generationand a new understanding • Capitalist production has become an objective hazard for the entirety of human society. • We need to establish new standards for social well-being—standards beyond GDP growth and bottom line. • We need to get the carbon out of the atmosphere and the plastics out of the ocean, keep the oil in the ground and the undomesticated species we have left alive. Anything else is a catastrophic failure. • A YouGov poll found that support for capitalism among Americans under 30 fell from 39% to 30% between 2015 and 2018—14 percentage points below the average and 26 points below the figure for seniors. • The kids recognize that capitalism has been using up human and natural resources rather than building a better society. • Much to everyone’s surprise, Keynes’s grandchildren have become Marxists. The workforce of 2030 is the last true cohort that market capitalism gets. “Keynes was wrong. Gen Z will have it worse.” By Malcolm Harris

They will experience AI, robotics, 5G, IoT, and space travel. Screens are placed in front of them from the youngest age as pacifiers, entertainers and educational aids. They were born in 2010, the year the iPad was introduced, Instagram was created and “app” was the word of the year. They already interact with Google Home and Alexa on a regular basis, requesting jokes or asking for facts about the weather.

Sandwiched between the spare title and 181 signatures was a one-page declaration that ended as follows: “Each of our stakeholders is essential.

    Slide 1.130  Thislecture itself was improvised. I learned all the things on these slides in the last two weeks. I prepared all the contents & slides in the last 60 hours.  I had to make hard choices and reduced from 250 slides. Many things I learned did not make the final cut.  All the rules of traditional lectures and curriculum – I have thrown them out from the window.  Sometimes I feel terrified: Am I on the right track? Does this make sense to you? What do you think? Please provide me feedback and let me know.  Education as usual is dead. Long live lifetime learning!  Assume responsibility for your own learning.
