1) Long-term Thinking. There are projects that you simply cannot complete within the frame of 2-3 years which is a classic span for corporate projects. There are some big bets like Amazon Web Services and Amazon Prime that take much longer than this time horizon. And that’s where long-term thinking could be applied. Just because in the longer time horizon we can do more and better, by thinking long term we unfold a whole new set of opportunities for ourselves. But that requires something - understanding of what we need in the long term. People always say - how is it possible to plan long term when tomorrow is so uncertain?

Seems like both, right? Or what about being a flexible person? Same. So, how to build personal and/or professional development plans? Here is the answer I got:...
What to focus on - result or process? That is the question that people ask all the time. We’ve got the answer - both!) And here’s why: When you are focused on the result - you are effective which means you are doing the right things. When you are focused on the process - you are efficient which means you are doing things right. Obviously, you need to do the right things in the right way. But there’s more to it. And that’s why we need both effectiveness and efficiency which means that we need to be result and process oriented - centralized and decentralized!

What side do you take in the global polemics around AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) - the super humanoid that is smarter than all human beings in the history altogether? Is it possible or just another story from Silicon Valley?
