Namaste, Welcome to SAM-VAD (Together In Conversation), where we try to draw your attention to things that matter and why is that? Because \u2018let us remember this again, \u2018What we give our Attention to matters.\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our life\u2019s experience would ultimately amount to whatever we had paid attention to. Attention: is as fundamental as food; and we go blundering about, seeking ways to assuage the craving, instead of learning how to provide ourselves with what we need, sensibly and calmly. Once our attention is drawn to the mechanism of why and what we give attention to, it is as if a veil has been stripped off and we become freer in our action and choices. And that is our endavour.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week I bring to your attention another excerpt which we have titled \u2013 Uncertainty and Human Capacity<\/em> from the book titled \u2018Uncharted<\/em><\/strong>\u2019 \u2013 How to Map the Future Together<\/em> by Margaret Heffernan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In her bold and invigorating new book, Margaret Heffernan explores the individuals, organizations and mindsets that aren’t daunted by uncertainty but seize the challenge of making the future for them-selves and explores answers to these questions, how can we think about the future? What do we need to do – and who do we need to be? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Uncertainty and Human Capacity<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every generation of human being has lived with uncertainty and unpredictability; that’s how we developed the staggering human capacity for invention, discovery, improvisation and creativity. Our ability to invent and explore came from necessity, not comfort. It’s been in the interstices of uncertainty that we have found and used freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While we can never render complexity simple, we could embrace it as an adventure, calling us to investigate the infinite permutations of life that it contains. Surrendering agency, action and adventure for convenience is a miserable bargain. In an uncharted world, who is content to be left hugging the shore when we could use our freedom to explore?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
