Agostino’s Insights on Millennials and How To Reach Your Full Potential

Agostino’s Beginnings

• Agostino did not come from an entrepreneurial family.
• He pursued multiple fields, such as mechanical engineering and computer science.
• Losing interest in his previous fields, he became fascinated in history. Hence, he started his career as a professor and research in university by 2000.

Implications of the Golden Rush Evolution

• The fourth and current industrial revolution is characterized by a high rate of technological advancements that occurred in a short amount of time.
• There is a heavy emphasis on the use of the internet and artificial intelligence.
• New jobs are now emerging, but universities are not yet prepared to teach these to students.

Facing the Evolution: Three Assets

• First, Savoir Faire (Knowing How to Do) – learning what you can in university
• Second, Savoir Vivre (Knowing How to Live) – focusing on networking to position yourself in your job market
• Third, Savoir Dire (Knowing How to Be) – having the self-awareness to realize your passion

Hard Skills vs Soft Skills

• Hard skills are what you learn within the university, like medicine and engineering. These are going to be quickly outdated
• On the other hand, soft skills focus on relating to others, such as honesty and kindness. These will help us adapt to the changes brought by the golden rush evolution.
• Soft skills, despite their importance, are often forgotten, especially in the age of social media.

Four Steps to Reach Your Full Potential:

• Search for your “Why.”
• “Why will you do what you want to do?”
• Find your passions.
• Try everything you can do (e.g., gain experience, work for someone you admire).
• Plan for your goals.
• Formulate a time and action plan to develop your path to reach your goals.
• Take action.
• The most crucial step is to start walking.
• Taking action also entails growth and improvement.
• Refrain from overthinking whether your plan is good enough.
• Be consistent.
• A plan without consistency does not work.
• Being consistent means putting in the same amount of effort and following through with your plans.

Habits You Need to Achieve Excellence

• Be kind.
• Enjoy everyday life.
• Work on your uniqueness.
• Create daily habits.
• Believe in what you do.
