Will you be part of the new third world?

Since the industrial revolution we in the UK have believed ourselves to be part of a world conquering super-power. And for a few decades that was true, and we exported "British Made" goods all over the world.

It isn't true any more.

We live in a world in flux. Our stability and future prosperity is not guaranteed. This is down to the actions of individuals. Individuals like you.

You might prosper, while the person sitting next to you might not - purely by making different decisions and having different priorities.

But while individuals are the key to their own success, individuals often still need a reason to change.

In nature individual change occurs through competition with others, and adapting to new environments.

In life the same applies.

Take a glimpse into the future, the up-coming competition, the new environments you will need to adapt to - then ask yourself - "am I doing enough to be ready?":

One thing is for sure. Change happens! We can prepare ourselves to cope with change, by learning to learn, by expanding our mental faculties and increasing our work ethic, or we can hang back pretending none of what you just saw will happen.

But you know it will, because it is happening now. Ready? Or not!

Your job is to recognise that you can do well in this changing world, but only if you work hard and consistently. Increasingly there will be fewer options available to the lazy or complacent.

Stand up and be counted, and don't let others decide your future. It's all down to what you decide, and how you respond.

The new third world may not be one of geographical boundaries, but boundaries of imagination, work ethic and ability.

Start preparing now by working at your studies - learn to learn effectively - and in future there will be nothing you cannot do.
