The Student Compass

Most young students make this #1 mistake while choosing their career…

👉🏽Choosing a career SOLELY based on the Money/Income potential…even though they have ‘0’ interest or passion for it!

Yes, making good money is very important, But you shouldn’t do it at the cost of spending 40+ hours every single week dreading your work & hating life!

It’s 2021, & we’re living in a world where you can CREATE A LUCRATIVE CAREER IN ANY FIELD you choose...

Be it ‘Computer science’ OR ‘Art’,

Find what YOU like, set your goals, & then look for mentors who can lead you there!✨

What led you to choose your current career? Would love to hear your reason…

We are living in an increasingly small world, with borders and siloed thinking becoming the default reactionary behavior and damaging to the social, economic and environmental health of the entire world system. "First World" societies have been far too complacent and self-absorbed to pay serious attention to the reality that we are all in this together. If we don't grow up and build an expanded sense of shared circumstance, the continued devolution of social systems and enlightened cultural development, impacting every level of socio-economic stata, will simply broaden and deepen.

from the Philips Andover Bulletin Teenagers reflect on technology and being human, with the help of Kierkegaard, Dostoyevsky, Pascal, and Sartre. You might wonder what a group of American teenagers have in common with existentialist philosophers like Jean-Paul Sartre. Three words in particular come to mind: dread, anxiety, and despair. Existentialist thinkers, and many of their philosophical predecessors, saw these moods as central to the human predicament. [ 2,261 more words ]

All of the political mayhem the USA and around the World is sucking the energy out of focussing on the enormous issues and disruptions that humans need to prepare for NOW; occurring in the present and increasingly in the future. Educating ourselves and our children and their children to think and behave differently, creatively, with thoughtfulness and deep critical analysis about how to manage the: technology innovations; the ethical and destructive implications of continuing to ignore the coming disruptions in society; the threat to social and nation-state and global cohesion and human well-being - is absolutely pathetic and so human-like (we are flawed beings).
