“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“The most important question a nation has to answer is if it creates the right narrative and value for its citizens. Most would agree that the best value creation is about growing the economy in a sustainable way, managing a balanced and inclusive society and making sure there are enough jobs to its citizens and well being, social positive impact and stability. This is complicated in the present world though. We live in a world that is changing at a fast pace, never seen so far in human history. We live now in a technology data driven 4.0 industry revolution - 4IR - world which is more interconnected and affected by technological innovation than ever in history. This new technology-driven world is one filled with promises but also with major challenges and risks. One of the main disruptions which is now part of our lives is the one that comes with so called 4IR, that is affecting our world in ways never seen. These ways imply a new narrative that is as challenging as it is somehow invisible, faster than ever and in many ways deeply dangerous. This narrative implies the advance of advanced digital transformation tools we use everyday, the inception of the so called Artificial Intelligence, that is creating an increasing digitisation, datification and automation of all kinds of services and industries touching the fabrics of social, economic and political with consequences that touch all parts of human and environmental life.”
