The Future Shaped by AI Evolution
By the summer of 2025, it is said that 50% of jobs will be replaced by AI. If that becomes a reality, a four-day workweek could become the norm, and human life as we know it will undergo a major transformation.
So, in this new era, what will be the role of humans?
The answer is clear.
Our fundamental role as humans
is to take the visions in our minds and forge it into reality.
The Three Principles of Vision Implementation
1️⃣ Clarity – Define your vision clearly.
2️⃣ Boldness(Overachievement) – Think 10X bigger.
3️⃣ Grit – Never give up.
In short, our job as humans is to dream and create.
(Just like what Mr. Fujimoto said yesterday!)

“Isn’t That Impossible?”
One could say that "realism is nothing more than socially accepted form of pessimism."
Manifesting
The last book on Steve Job's ipad and the book given out at his funeral was "Autobiography of a Yogi." He mentioned "bending reality" 3 times in his book.
So, what does it take to unlock that power?
Alignment of BODY・MIND・SPIRIT
BODY（Action） Are your actions aligned with your desires, or are you unconsciously working against them?
MIND（Beliefs, focus） Do you truly believe in your dreams? Are you convinced that you are worthy of them?
SPIRIT（Souls desires） Are they deep desires that come from the depth of your soul?
Example of making orders and why it comes easier for some than others
Imagine ordering at a restaurant:
"I’ll have the soup!"
But minutes later—"Actually, I’ll take the pizza!"
And then—"No, I want the steak!"
The kitchen (the universe) is diligently working to fulfill your order (your dream). But if you keep changing your mind, manifestation moves further away.
What is important is the ability to keep choosing the same thing
What kind of life do you want to live? What emotions do you want to wake up with every morning? What kind of people do you want around you? How do you want to contribute to the world?
Instead of just choosing a tray (your job), choose the dishes (the life you truly want).
AI will disrupt the tray but not the dishes.
AI may change the way we work (the tray), but it won’t change the essence of what we desire (the meal).
That’s why the most important question is:
"What do you truly want?"
The alignment of BODY・MIND・SPIRIT influences manifestation
Let’s say you want to increase your wealth.
BODY（action）
You sign up to start learning about day trading and stock investments.
MIND（beliefs）
But if deep down, you hold beliefs like:
- “Rich people must have done something shady.”
- “Money is the root of all evil."
- These subconscious beliefs act as a brake, preventing you from moving forward.
SPIRIT（Soul's Purpose）
How do you intend to use that wealth?
Will you donate a portion? Or will it be used to manipulate or control others?
The purer your intention, the easier it is for your desires to manifest.
The Teaching of Zakat
In Islam, there is a principle called Zakat—a form of charitable giving to purify wealth.
Those with a certain level of assets are obligated to donate a portion for the greater good.
Money Is Energy
The way you use it determines whether it expands or stagnates.
True abundance flows when money is circulated with intention.
Make your Wishes without fear and Surrender to the Universe
"Your desires are divine desires."
Can you truly believe that?
There is no need for guilt or fear in wishing.
Human’s Role Is to Create Wishes
- Is your wish mature or immature?
- The difference lies in whether it brings happiness to at least two others.
Launch Rockets of Desire
Many cancel their wishes the moment they make them because they wonder if they are ready or worthy or they change their mind.
The universe is always working to fulfill our wishes.
But—
The universe doesn’t give you what you want.
It gives you what aligns with your existing energy.
The Law of Resonance
That's all the more reason why it's important to
Align Your Energy with Your Wish
That very energy is the force that shapes reality.

Angela Lee Duckworth: "The Key to Success is Grit"
↓↓↓
Summary of Her Talk on "Grit (Perseverance)"
1. The Turning Point (Her Experience as a Teacher)
- At 27, she left her career as a management consultant to teach math at a public middle school in New York.
- While assessing students' performance, she realized that IQ alone does not determine success.
- Some intellectually gifted students struggled, while those who put in consistent effort tended to succeed.
2. Questioning the Education system
- "What does it take to succeed?"
→ She suspected that factors beyond IQ played a crucial role in academic and life success. - This led her to pursue educational psychology and study the determinants of success.
3. Research & Key Findings
- She studied successful individuals across various fields:
- Military academies: Who perseveres through rigorous training?
- National Spelling Bee: Which children advance the furthest?
- Teachers in struggling schools: Who lasts an entire year?
- Sales professionals: Who continues to achieve results over time?
- The result? The strongest predictor of success was grit—the ability to maintain long-term effort toward a goal.
- It’s not about short bursts of intensity but sustained perseverance.
4. The Importance of Grit
- Sustained Effort:
- Success isn’t achieved in a week or a month, it takes years of persistence.
- Much like running a marathon, it takes sustained effort over time.
- Research Findings:
- A study on high school students in Chicago found that those with higher grit levels had a greater likelihood of graduating.
- Interestingly, perseverance was a stronger predictor of success than family income or academic ability.
5. How Can We Cultivate Grit?
- The Challenge：There is no definitive answer yet to the question "How do we develop grit?" 「
- A key approach, a Growth Mindset：
- Proposed by Stanford professor Carol Dweck.
- The growth mindset suggests that abilities are not fixed but can grow with effort.
- Children who adopt this mindset tend to persist even after failure.
6. Conclusion
- Success is more about grit than natural talent.
- However, the method for developing grit is still under research.
- Teachers themselves must embody grit, continuously experimenting and learning.
- By embracing challenges and pushing forward despite failure, we set an example for the next generation.
7. Final Thoughts
"If we cultivate grit within ourselves, we can nurture grit in children."
This mindset should shape how we approach education moving forward.
