As a futurist, I am frequently asked, “What will the future look like?”

My response, in two words, is: predictably unpredictable.

This then begs the question: How does a person prepare for such a paradoxical future?

The answer lies in embracing other paradoxes such as learning to unlearn, thinking about the unthinkable, embracing failure as a key component of success, and acknowledging that an awareness of one’s ignorance is a key component of wisdom.
