“Delight others. Make a connection.” - Adam Robinson (fascinating guy – long-time friend of Warren Buffet and Bobby Fischer – 2 of the best in their respective fields, ever).
Delight others.
Make a connection.
Every single interaction is an opportunity to delight.
Going to a pitch? Don’t sell the product. Delight the potential client. Connect with them.
Texting a friend or loved one? Delight her. Delight him. Connect.
All interaction touch points – delight, connect.
I’m willing to bet we each have at least 20 interaction touch points per day – between real life family, friends, colleagues and random strangers, as well as their digital counterparts we engage with on social media. That’s 20 opportunities to delight or connect on a daily basis.
Too often, we play games. We only act positively if we are treated positively. We have a chip on our collective societal shoulder. But why? What if we could change that? Go first – delight, connect.
We each have 20 opportunities a day to “create magic” (as Adam Robinson would say).
That’s a pretty cool way of looking at life. I am stupidly self-absorbed and too often caught in my own mind, so these words here are specifically targeted at my own thick head. The joys of blogging, eh?
So, let’s take focus off ourselves, and let’s make life an exciting series of opportunities to create magic with others.

Billboard: "It Won't Make You Happy"
Let’s say you get it.
The promotion you’re after.
The flashy BMW.
The sexy apartment, house, jet.
The *insert x brand here*.
The flashy BMW.
The sexy apartment, house, jet.
The *insert x brand here*.
Will it make you happy?
Let’s say you get the status symbol you seek. Does it tick
the boxes others have set for you to be successful? Are you simply pleased that
they’re pleased with what you’ve accomplished?
Perhaps, a hollow joy.
Or are you pleased…
truly meaningfully pleased?
Derek Sivers, when asked, “what would you put on a
billboard?” answered simply with:
‘It won’t make you happy’ referring specifically to any form of “retail therapy” – on a big and small scale.
‘It won’t make you happy’ referring specifically to any form of “retail therapy” – on a big and small scale.
Don’t get me wrong. Western measures of success can be
stimulating, and to some, can provide genuine personal happiness. That is what
we are after – making decisions that lead to an authentic joy for reasons that
are right for you.
But I have noticed a trend in myself. A terrifying trend. A
trend that makes me question my own make-up as a strong-willed individual. I frequently,
instinctively, default to choose a big brand or popular choice rather than
something that “feels right” purely because of public perception of success. I
have to actively identify this instinct, challenge it, and try figure out my
reasons for the decision.
Most of the time, I find more personal joy from choosing the road less travelled, the road with more unknowns, and the road more puzzling to the masses - A sense of empowerment; autonomy; that anything is possible.
What if we could choose the right thing for us, rather than
the right thing for what others want for us; expect for us; or set for us as
success?
Do it to make yourself happy – not because it looks like
success to those around you.
Being personally happy and helping others - That to me, is a successful life.
Being personally happy and helping others - That to me, is a successful life.

Clean Slate: The first day of a new year
I've been thinking a lot about the value of experience and experiences.
What good is an achievement if the process of achieving hasn't improved you as a person?
What good is a degree if you haven't learnt anything?
What good is a relationship if you haven't become a better partner?
On that note.
What good was 2016 if we can't be better in 2017?
Where is the value in one day if we can't use that experience to be better the next?
If you look at Facebook right now, the negativity around 2016 will make you choke on your rusk and spill your coffee. Status after status about how we are so happy to see the back of 2016. We default to the lowlights of the year, the disappointments and the "world is falling apart" view.
Then we make new year's resolutions that we don't stick to. We do the same next year, over and over. We do it because it's normal, not because it works.
I propose a different way of doing things.
Let's reflect on 2016.
Let's reflect on the highlights. Our favourite events and experiences.
Let's reflect on the bold decisions we made. The choices that made us feel alive.
Let's look at the experiences that enriched our lives. The experiences that challenged us and made us dig deep to understand ourselves. Let's reminisce on those experiences - take active lessons from them to make us better people going into the new year.
So, 2017.
Our glass should be so full of hope that it spills over and messes our proverbial jeans. Let's be stupidly ambitious.
Why can't we make this year our own?
Why can't we achieve our 10 year plan in the next 365 days?
Let's be excited. A clean slate. Every mistake you made in 2016 no longer exists.
We go again...

Finding yourself on the side of the Majority
“Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect”
People agree on things because people in the past agreed on things without knowing why they
agreed on things but because agreeing on things was the thing to do.
People agree on things because people are too lazy to grapple with the shades of grey.
People agree on things because it’s easy.
Who said that’s the right way?
Who said that’s the only way?
“Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect”
Challenge.
Why do you believe what you believe?
Your path is your path.
You are an artist with a fresh brush, pristine paint, and a clean canvas.
Paint the future you want.

One Young World - the Odyssey
Grab your coffee, your empanada, poutine or whatever morning treat your culture deems conducive to a good read... And by good I mean long, though hopefully good in the most literal sense. You be the judge.
Get comfy.
One Young World. 196 countries. One hundred and ninety six countries. Allow me to repeat that one more time; 1-9-6. That’s a lot of countries. Depending on who you ask, that’s pretty much every country in the world.
A lot of countries.
1300 young people. Young leaders. Young human beings who want the world of 2026 to be better than the world of 2016. Not only “want” it to be better, but most of whom are actively fighting each and every day to ensure that becomes a reality.
When you have six passionate people at one table, passionate people representing Guatemala, Japan, India, Mexico, Canada, South Africa (or any permutation of 196 countries) – you have possibility. What are the shared experiences of such vastly different countries? How can they challenge each other on media-led misconceptions? How can their vastly different perspectives demystify worldwide wicked problems? How can their networks be forged together to create a global super-force for good?
When you have young people from across the global, passionate, awakened, hungry – you have possibility.
That was One Young World.
Allow me to share some thoughts on the experience. Some may cogent, relevant and directly applicable to the summit. Hopefully most fall in that category. Others may be thoughts spurred on by the scenery, observations, conversations and the introspection and life lessons inferred thereof. Let’s commence…
We should start thinking "What world do you want to see?" What world would you create if you could? What world do you want to shape your life for? This thought was inspired by Professor Muhummad Yunus – a crazy man, crazy enough to follow his crazy beliefs and actually impact millions of lives because of it. Imagine thinking that a poor Bangladeshi uneducated woman can turn a $300 loan into a flourishing family business. Imagine being even crazier and giving that loan out, unsecured, without any intentions of getting anything back for it. Imagine doing it over and over again. That’s madness.
What can that teach us? If he can be crazy and follow his crazy convictions, why can’t we?
What is so crazy about envisioning the world we want to see and putting the steps in place to bring the world there? Surely we are not powerless and confined to living a shackled life? Surely we can imagine change, structure our lives around change, and bring change?
I believe we can. I believe many of us will.
There is something special about the notion of ‘different’. Different intrigues. Different entices. Different is mystery. Different is scarce because it is finite compared to that which we have grown accustomed. And we all know the power of scarcity. Beyond that, however, different begets different – if we expose ourselves to others with perceptions different to ourselves, we are forced to view life differently – to have information from all angles before forming an opinion.
Different is powerful. I had breakfast with ridiculously cool people from Albania and Hong Kong. I spent countless hours bonding with incredible guys from Japan and Guatemala. I had an amazing dinner with funny and inspiring (in equal measure) young change-makers from Canada, Argentina, Thailand, Switzerland and India. It was different. It was eye-opening. Through this experience reveals the power of travel. The power of exposing ourselves to the notion of ‘different’. Different countries, systems, structures, processes, cultures, people, and opinions – Imagine the potential.
Embrace different – let different ignite something in you.
Meeting new people is difficult. Nobody likes clichés. “Nice to meet you.” “Mucho gusto”. “Muito prazer”. “What do you do?” “What are you studying?” Same old pleasantries, small talk, platitudes, the need to impress. Some people like to be guarded stone-cold-shells until you have peeled them away. That works for some, it’s even cultural for many. However, I have seen intangible but very real value in some level of vulnerability. Exposing full personality and sense of humour early on in conversation is key to building a genuine connection. Show who you are and others will show who they are. Networking situations can be very tense, forced or awkward. Most are reluctant to take the mask off first. If we are bold enough to take that step, others will follow our lead, and a connection is accelerated.
Want to catalyse an acquaintanceship into a friendship in just a few minutes? Simply be real and connect – that’s what life is about.
As a tourist, I think we find it much easier to engage with people because of the novelty, and because we are already out of our comfort zone. Also, we have that “in” that makes initiating a conversation so much easier – the intriguing accent, the backstory of “this is my first time here – *insert tourist question here*”. Back to the ‘different’ thought process mentioned earlier. Should this always be the case? I want to engage more wherever I am. In daily routine life, we are constantly in a rush. We don’t see the opportunity for a story in the everyday people we meet. We are desensitized. From this experience I have learnt there is potential beauty in any chance conversation with a stranger. Making people smile, laugh or learning their story can be beautiful whether abroad or at home.
I want to remember that and “live like a tourist” all the time.
It appears many ambitious young people face the opportunity cost problem. What if I study or accept a job overseas? Great for career but terrible for existing relationships. What's more important? What if I am a CEO? Great to impact but difficult as a family man. What if I am a great husband? Difficult to be a great CEO too? Why have so many top leaders in society cheated on their loved ones? I don’t want to be at risk of an empty adulterous life if it means being a top-level influencer. Can you only be a great family person or a great career person? I don't have any answers. I can only recommend a book called ‘How will you measure your life’ by Clayton Christensen. As young people, budding young leaders, we must ponder this question, grapple with every dimension of it, because I fear all too often that I will measure my life by the incorrect things, if incorrect measurements even exist. Do we want to be admired by many and loved by few? Or do we want to be loved by many and admired by few? Is that an entirely misguided way of even looking at it? Is it perhaps more about how many and how deeply we have loved? Do we want to measure our impact by the depth of our influence or the volume of our influence?
Now that you are completely overwhelmed by the torrent of rhetorical questions, I hope you have a buffet for thought - and please, enlighten me when you have the answers – definite or not.
Inequality. The great bane of society’s existence. If you look at any civil war, any rebel faction, and any uprising, the common root cause seems to always be directly or indirectly the result of socioeconomic inequality. We solve this, we solve a lot. How do we do this without becoming an oppressive shackled communist society? I wish I was more answer than question. Alas, I hope someone much smarter than me reads this and has the solution.
One final life-thing that has come to me since One Young World is this – I’m not sure it is possible to be truly happy unless all key facets of your life are pulling in the same direction. Remember earlier I spoke of structuring our lives towards the world we want to create? If we have a particular passion and we commit the vast majority of our days contrary to that passion – how are we supposed to feel fulfilled, and how are we supposed to create that world we envision?
So there it is. Words. Thoughts. Expressions. I have been and will continue to grapple with many of these until the day I leave this planet. Oh… One Young World also touched on the not-so-small matters of refugees, extremism, peace and security, education, global business, gender equality, LBGTQ and mental health too. Some would say that was the whole point of the summit. I always knew the world was a complex place. This experience made me realize the world is a very complex place.
To close off, I think the greatest realization of many realizations is this:
It doesn’t have to be my fight to fight the fight. I am busy. Self-absorbed and consumed by daily routine. But I am privileged and there is a lot I can do with that.
I am male, but I can combat gender inequality.
I am white, but I can combat racism.
I am heterosexual, but I can combat homophobia.
I am not directly affected by extremism, nor am I directly affected by many of the social issues of this world.
If those not affected step up for those that are, we, as a society, can make major steps, strides, leaps forward.
We are often frustrated by the political landscape in our respective countries, but One Young Wold revealed to me how we, as young people with bold convictions, have the power to effect change.
So let’s leverage the network effect.
Let’s catalyse each other’s projects and passions into progress.
Get comfy.

The Unreasonables
I read this quote on Friday, one I have seen before but not never pondered.
"The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man." George Bernard Shaw
Be reasonable. Adapt to the world. Live a good life.
There is literally nothing wrong with that. This leads to a world that most consider functional.
"The normal way".
Be unreasonable. Get frustrated often by the way things are. Refuse to accept those frustrations.
Ask why a lot. Confuse people with your convictions.
Get called "mad", "bizarre"... "a dreamer".
The unreasonable see the need for change because the world does not fit into their crazy idealism. They see their crazy idealism as "normal". The unreasonable not only create products; they create markets. They see what you and I need and want before we know we need and want it. They create it, then they make us need and want it. They move the world forward.
You didn't know you needed Uber.
On an arbitrary evening in 2008, Travis Kalanick and Garret Camp had difficulty calling a cab.
A common frustration we previously accepted.
They didn't adapt themselves to a frustrating world, they adapted the world to them. Uber.
You didn't know you need Uber. Now you do. Market created, the world moves forward.
What are your main frustrations in the world? Have you adapted to them?
Ask yourself, are you unreasonable? Can you use your frustration to drive the world forward?

Call for Vulnerability: The Russian Doll Story
It's called a matryoshka. Or as I know it from school, a "skilpop".
A Russian doll. Many layers, to be removed one at a time.
We are all matryoshkas (a word that sounds cooler than it probably is).
We meet new people. We start guarded, cynical, mysterious, with the desire to be emotionally numb.
We are so intent on ensuring we will not get hurt like in the past, that we actively resist removing the layers of emotional vulnerability as quickly as before.
As life goes on, we become more guarded. More closed off to people getting to know the true "us" because of previous hurts. We decide the possibility of pain is not worth the possibility of unparalleled joy.
We are a society of matryoshkas not willing to shed layers. A cold connection-less society.
This is a call for vulnerability. A call for us not to let life's previous missteps endanger life's future hope.
Yes, vulnerability comes with the risk of 2/10 moments along with exhilarating 10/10s... an emotional rollercoaster. Is that not more thrilling than a constant 6/10 life? A dull predictable emotionless limbo.
I am an open book. Too open. I allow myself to feel and to feel fully.
It is delightful. It is horrible. At times I wish I could switch it off.
But then I feel the joy again of soul-soul connection. It is a gift, it is a curse.
But life is going to be one mad journey.
The way it should be.
