- Volatile: Unexpected changes of unknown duration
- Uncertain: Lack of predictability
- Complex: Overwhelming interconnected variables
- Ambiguous: Unclear cause and effect relationships
This rapid change is creating a mental health crisis as skills expire faster than ever. However, humans are the most adaptable organisms on the planet, and our systems need to evolve every hundred years to avoid decline.
🎯 Success follows the poker principle: While individual instances may involve luck, long-term success is determined by skill and consistency.
