“As you prepare for the future of education, we must all look at ourselves. Let’s think about the advantages that we have, what privileges do we have over others? And how we can be ok with feeling uncomfortable to serve others… To having more equitable work, especially more equitable education. You’ll want to have 21st century skills, but most importantly, continue working on your soft skills. Communication, leadership, creativity, being a team player, emotional intelligence, a critical thinker, and the ability to adapt. All of these I am sure students have who participate in Hack for Global Good. But, most important is the mindset. Be empathetic and mindful of those who have less opportunity and those from different backgrounds. Be open-minded to everything - especially INNOVATION. You see. Banks do not like bitcoin, hotels don’t like AirBnB, and taxi companies do not like Uber. People do not initially accept a new idea. Be OK with that. Be OK with failing. Failing is our best teacher. .”
