I'm here because I've overcome probably more failures than the average person. And that's been painful, but I've made pain part of the process and understand that if I'm not hurting, I'm not growing.

Yes. Yeah.

Yes. Yeah.

I think it goes back to that life disruption, life or death moment, life flashing past you, which you realize you can have your whole life mapped out that linear way, become obsessed with success or avoidance of failure. And that's not real life. Being stripped down and being made very vulnerable, nearly losing my life. Actually, with the wake-up call to me, life is risk.

And actually, the biggest regret, one of the things to help our listeners and viewers today is when you get to the end of your life, and I hope it's a long life, 90 years of age or 100, the number one regret is according to research, is a lack of courage.

When you look back, the biggest regret you'll have in your lives when you look back at your 90 years will be the amount of times that you didn't step up, the lack of courage, the courage to think a bit bolder, the courage to say no, the courage to walk away from something that wasn't working for you, the courage to start over. This is our number one regret at the end of our lives.

And we can use this knowledge in advance of getting to 90 years of age to our advantage and do what Steve Jobs or Jeff Bezos used to do very well, which is regret minimization. So imagine that you're 70 years old and say, what would I regret most not doing when I look back? Is it not having kids? Is it not starting that business? Is it not hitting that C-level in my company?

Whatever it is, success is very personal. But just remember, at the end of our lives, the number one regret is a lack of courage. And actually, one half of courage is the ability to embrace failure. And I recognize that that is a stepping stone to where you want to be. It's not necessarily... And of course, there are different types of failures as well, by the way.

Productive failures, intelligent failures, stupid failures. So we have to be careful here as well and understand the nuances. But the one thing to take away is we need to reframe our relationship with productive failure. and recognize that it's also an important part of success.

What I love about Generation Alpha is this incredible vision, aspirational, and I think it's very nuanced. The culturally context and culture demographics whether it's Africa or North America or Europe, there's a different risk appetite out there depending on geography. And so that's a big deal. But the good news is it can be unlearned and relearned as well, for sure.

And what I love about my work at MIT is every year we host MIT Solve. And the purpose of MIT Solve is to create a generation of solvers We post grand challenges, global challenges that the world faces. For example, climate change, lack of literacy, healthcare challenges. And we give people anywhere in the world the opportunity to pitch tech-based solutions to those global challenges.
