Famous Nicky Verd Quotes

“Many of us bought into society’s social contract of success, which states – go to school, get good grades, get a job and live happily ever after. But this doesn’t work anymore. At the most basic level, disrupting yourself will demand that you breach this contract of social conditioning and conformity.”

“Put your future in good hands – your own! Personal disruption means not waiting for the government or your family members to hand something to you. It means rethinking the parameters of your life, and perhaps even of your community, maybe even your country.”

“Human labour does not stand a chance against disruptive technologies. Artificial Intelligence can handle insurance claims, do basic bookkeeping, manage investment portfolios, do legal research, and perform HR tasks.”

“Machines do not require leave, lunch breaks, smoke breaks, toilet breaks or any breaks for that matter. Robotics do not come late to work. Robots are drama free, they don’t organise protest action and they don’t complain about workload.”

“Robots cannot be injured or killed in the line of work, and can be used in situations far too dangerous for human risk. Robots are more hygienic and deliver a finished product at a fraction of the time it takes a human. Faster output leads to increased sales. No matter how cheap human labour may become, buying highly skilled robotics is still cheaper as one pays only once.”

“The Fourth Industrial Revolution is ushering in a new economic era, exposing new sources of value and growth. New opportunities, businesses and markets can be created as a result of this new economy.”

“Fourth Industrial Revolution has democratized entrepreneurship. The old entrepreneurial model was capital intensive – premises, equipment, brick and mortar stuff. But now there’s opportunity for businesses that can even be run from a smart phone or Internet cafe. Some businesses can be set up in a day or two and with minimum risk and capital. As I mentioned in Part One of my book, titled, Disrupt Yourself Or Be Disrupted. “You can do more today with your life having just an internet connection; and that’s an opportunity our parents and grandparents never had.”

“Understanding what 4IR is all about will help put into perspective how some of the world’s most cutting-edge technologies like Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, Blockchain, IoT, AR, 3D Printing and many others will impact your own life.”

“The Fourth Industrial Revolution is creating a self-employment economy based on creativity - gig workers, freelancers, Apps, investments and entrepreneurship. It is now much easier to start your own thing than any other time in history. Don’t focus on the threats; focus on the opportunities! There's more to sell than just labour.”

“Society puts too much emphasis on academic excellence forgetting there’s a real world outside the classroom. Measuring intelligence through ‘one size fits all’ is limiting and sometimes those who fall by the wayside can be the most important of them all”

“Don't date just to escape the "Im Single" status. Don't marry just to tick off a checklist. Life is NOT a grocery list. Find yourself first, then find someone who can accommodate the talents, the vision and the ambitions in your heart, someone who can be the enabler for you to emerge into your greatness. Find someone who believes in you, supports and encourages you even when the world laughs at your guts. But first, find yourself because it is far more important to be the right person than it is to date/marry the right person. Become a person of value. Don't go looking for a good woman until you've become a good man. And ladies, don't go looking for a good man till you've become a good woman. If you want a loving, honest, faithful, supportive and rich partner; first become what you are looking for. You must meet the requirements of your own requirements! Leaders, vision bearers and dream chasers look for character, commitment, vision, grit, faith, etc...but ordinary people look for coca-cola bottle shape kinder girl, a six pack kinder guy and a heavy bank balance...but dear men, it's her character that will raise your children not her beauty. It is character that makes a great wife. Dear ladies, It is character that makes a great Dad/husband not a car or a big wallet. Take note good people, you don't need to die to go to hell...misalignment of core values/purpose In your relationship/marriage is the beginning of your own hell right here on earth. In my humble opinion, misalignment of core values is worst than cheating. Yes, both are evil but cheating is a lesser evil compared to misalignment of core values. Trust me, you don't want to test this theory, you may not come out alive. So, leave the girl/boy down the road to a boy/girl down the road. Leave slay queens to slay kings. Leave party queens to party kings. Leave nyaope boys to nyaope girls, drug addicts to drug addicts, leave weed girls to weed boys, playboys to playgirls..,,AND legacy builders to legacy builders!”

“Instead of the education system banning ChatGPT from schools, the focus should be geared towards educating students on how to properly use AI tools. Schools should be at the forefront of innovation and technological progress NOT a place for preserving obsolete learning methods and clinging onto archaic practices that are no longer relevant for the world we live in.”

“Digital disruption is not about new technologies or new Apps. It is about: A new era New ways of thinking New ways of working New ways of leadership New ways of doing business New ways of making a living, etc”

“Instead of resisting technological progress, embrace it. Embrace the AI revolution and learn how to use it. Learn how to talk and communicate better with AI tools. The key to unlocking human potential lies in collaborating and improving our communication with AI systems.”

“In the age of artificial intelligence, it is essential to improve your communication skills not only with fellow humans but also with software apps. As technology continues to advance, the ability to effectively communicate with Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems and other technologies is crucial. Refining your communication skills in this regard will not only benefit your personal growth but also enhance your opportunities and keep you relevant in the fast-paced digital world.”
