I have said it time and again that to build a remarkable career, company or country, one has to subscribe to what is called continuous learning.
Still many of us believe that if we study for 15 or 18 years, take a good degree that has a high potential of getting a highly paid job, we will be safe.

Continuous learning and reflection are only two ways to challenge our dominating premises, learn from the experiences and make corrections that are necessary.
