Futurist Jim Carroll

"Whatever it takes. That has to be your mindset." - Futurist Jim Carroll

Many people seem to be engineered to give up too easily. Pack it in. Move on before the hard work. Never give what it takes. Abandon the effort. Never do what it takes.

The question is - why?

People seem to understand what success requires, yet consistently fail to take the necessary actions.

What's behind this attitude? 

Comfortable complacency. Too many get trapped in what I call the "good enough zone" - where they're just comfortable enough to resist real change, but not successful enough to thrive. This dangerous complacency is like a slow-acting poison in today's rapid-change environment.

A "not-my-problem' attitude. Too many people see the need for change but respond with "not my department" or "not my responsibility." This abandonment of responsibility creates a paradox: everyone sees the problem, but no one takes action.

Fear is the default setting. People are too scared to move and choose inaction as a strategy, mistaking it for prudence. But here's the reality: in 2025, the risk of doing nothing far outweighs the risk of action.

A lack of confidence. A lot of people have convinced themselves they can't adapt or master new realities. They've created their glass ceilings, limiting their potential before even trying.

Here's the stark reality: Success requires more than just knowing what to do - it demands the courage to do it. You need to move beyond understanding to action, beyond planning to execution, beyond fear to calculated risk-taking.

Here's the thought you need to plant in your mind - the future doesn't belong to the smartest or the strongest - it belongs to those willing to do whatever it takes to succeed.

So how do you do that?

Here's my list.

"There is a chasm in outlook between the global climate policy-making elite with their focus on distant goals and slow, non-disruptive change, and activists and key researchers who see the world hurtling towards climate breakdown and social collapse.

What light does recent evidence shine on these dissonant views?”

Putin's IBS

#Russian 'war correspondent' filmed a #Russian_T_90M_Proryv ("#Breakthrough") tank torn to pieces. It had ordinary bricks instead of reactive armour.

The explosion, caused by mine, tore off the tank's turret and its gun stuck into the ground.

At first, the 'war correspondent' can't figure out what tank it is, mistakes it for a #Leopard, and happily takes selfies near it. And only then does someone say that the tank is, in fact, #Russian.

#Vaccine #breakthrough means no more chasing strains

"...there is little chance of a virus mutating to avoid this vaccination strategy... researchers believe they can ‘cut and paste’ this strategy to make a one-and-done vaccine for any number of viruses.

“There are several well-known human pathogens; dengue, SARS, COVID. They all have similar viral functions,” Ding said. “This should be applicable to these viruses in an easy transfer of knowledge.”

This vaccine development technique works on babies with under-developed immunity or immunocompromised individuals because it doesn't rely on the person's own immune system. And it can work for any virus.

"This could be the universal vaccine that we have been looking for.”
