One of the most powerful ways to make the past more valuable is to invest it into your future through reflection. Become a student of your own life, and learn to look back on your days, months, and years with curiosity and intention.

Take a few minutes at the end of each day to reflect on your experiences, and ask yourself:
·       Who did I see or meet today?
·       What did we talk about?
·       How did those interactions make me feel?
·       What happened, and why?
·       Why did they say what they said?
·       Why did I respond the way I did?

I think by exploring these questions, you gain insight, learn from your experiences, and make your past serve your future. What do you think?

Over time, the nature of work has evolved through distinct phases. In the past, during the "Muscles" era, physical labour and manual skills held paramount importance. This period, exemplified by the Industrial Revolution and earlier agricultural societies, demanded physical strength and endurance for jobs that revolved around labour-intensive tasks in agriculture, manufacturing, and construction. Nowadays we are in the "Brain" phase, marked by the Information Age and technological advancements, knowledge work, problem-solving, creativity, and intellectual skills take centre stage. The contemporary workforce increasingly values cognitive abilities such as analysis, programming, design, and management, emphasising the significance of education and specialised skills. And in the future, we will enter the "Heart" phase where there will be a shift towards a greater emphasis on emotional intelligence, empathy, interpersonal skills, and values. I think as automation and artificial intelligence progress, it is likely that roles requiring human connection, understanding, and compassion will become more prominent, particularly in fields like healthcare, counselling, relationship management, and social support.

Draw from that experience
