KEY TAKEAWAYS:
✅ Rethink education for long-term success: Traditional education often fails to prepare students for ill-structured, complex problems. Focus on developing critical thinking and learning-to-learn skills for long-term career success.
✅ Adapt to AI-driven job markets: As AI takes over well-structured tasks, professionals need to focus on developing skills in problem definition, strategic thinking, and emotional support that are harder to automate.
✅ Cultivate curiosity across domains: Following your curiosity, even outside your primary field, can lead to unique insights and competitive advantages. Don't limit yourself to traditional domain boundaries when solving real-world problems.
