Born and raised with preconceived ideas about the world…

…we need to relearn and rethink

– Ernst Haeckel, 19th century biologist, philosopher and artist

“Nothing is constant but change. All existence is a perpetual flux of ‘being and becoming’. That is the broad lesson of the evolution of the world.”

The world is fluid and temporary

What is The Digital Mindset? [Technology, Networks and Culture]

• Viewing the world not only in atoms but in bits

• Turning fear of failure into contagious curiosity

• Being open-minded, perpetually learn and share

• Experiment, collaborate and stay fluid and present

• Fall in love with the problem, not just your solution

What’s inevitable should be immediate
