If it’s pouring rain out, and you’re heading for a walk, you have two good options.
A completely waterproof boot, one that will keep your foot totally dry.
OR
A flip flop, one that will allow your foot to get soaking wet, but you don’t care, because it’s your foot and it’s a flip flop.
Meaning, when your external environment changes radically, there are only two smart ways to react: you either decide you use the tools you have to fight it head on and win, or you choose to fully embrace the new reality.
Unfortunately, all too often we opt instead for a soggy shoe, soggy sock strategy, one that leaves us squishy and uncomfortable because we planned poorly and didn’t fully acknowledge that our world has shifted.
(and, no, this post isn’t only about AI).
