From tap water to technology, from diets to devices, from gender identification to genetic modification, from schooling to selecting a coach or advisor, our peers and mentors can often throw this line in our face &#8211; but we didn\u2019t need it, and we turned out fine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It can leave our sails windless and stall our engines before we\u2019ve even selected a gear.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But here\u2019s the thing: the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) poses one challenge that previous generations have never had to meet: prolific access.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Access to what? Everything.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the significant changes that we\u2019ve seen in the world around us over the last two decades is the overwhelmingly enlarged access to information. Before the profuse use of mobile technology and cloud-based servers, data was stored in books and brochures, libraries and archives, making it harder to access. Now, we literally have the world (wide web) wirelessly at our fingertips. And those born this century have not known anything different.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Information is now so readily available that we have a new challenge: how do we find the valuable information that is relevant to us right now? On top of that, we have comparisons that we could never quickly draw before; like how the stock market performed last year, in 2008, 1998 and 1928. Heck, we can even compare the Bitcoin bubble to the Tulip bubble in 1636.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DIY is no longer about putting up new bookshelves in your bedroom; it\u2019s about choosing, managing and prevailing on virtual shelves (platforms) for social engagement, investing, shopping, job hunting, learning, travel and just about anything else you\u2019d like.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We are overwhelmed, our parents are overwhelmed, our children are overwhelmed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The expectations are no longer what they were in 2004. Our opportunities are considerably more expansive, and the perceived consequences of \u2018getting it wrong\u2019 are infinitely more shareable. Now, the most dangerous words are: \u201cWe\u2019ve always done it this way.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We need to encourage each other to do things differently, to rely on experts, advisers, mentors and coaches to help us navigate this new revolution. These helpful people are not just for the wealthy or well-connected; they\u2019re for all of us.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As our connections grow, we need to be willing to do the inner work of building our character and protecting our values. It\u2019s not about changing fundamental truths; it\u2019s about changing our perspectives about how big the truth really is.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Making decisions in the 4IR is no longer about extracting one choice, it\u2019s about engaging in conversations.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;But we didn&#8217;t need it, and we turned out fine.&#8221;\u00a0 We hear this line more than we should.
