What do you you see in the world 5 years from now? Please write a couple of lines. Feel free to let your thoughts flow. Remember this - there are no right, no wrong answers. We want to understand YOUR perspective and we deeply care about it. *

Let us say you studied there, you graduated, and now you want to accomplish something - like getting a job, employment, a startup or your own entrepreneurial venture - what would you be seeking? *

Great! Are you 100% sure that you would like that direction? *

Yes - 100%. I will die for what I want to become.

Yes - but am OK to to change my college, because eventually I want a job in an area thats more important to me.

Well, no! I only want that dream school. I can change my career, or craft a different one.

Hmmm - perhaps I am not 100% sure on what I want to become

I am confident about what I want to be, but need some help to fine tune that. After all things change a lot - see how COVID has changed our world today!

Honestly, I need a bit of guidance. I see no harm in learning from others.

Last question - On your last second on the planet, what would your biggest regret of all? Why? *

Section 8: Tell us what this below means and what you can reflect from it. *

Section 9: Lets go back where we started. Remember we asked you to tell us about how you see the world in 5,10,20 and 30 years of time. Then we also asked you about the problems you are going to see face as a generation and what matters to you the most. Remember the picture below? We would like you to tell us - which problem would you like to solve if you were provided with all the power, money and freedom! *

Provide us with some ideas how your ideas, effort, your understanding of the world, your skills and intent can solve this problem. You don't have to solve everything, but at least you solve a piece of it. Make your action count. *

Section 9: See the Ikigai mentioned below. It is the center that intersects several important things. I would like you to take a look at it and tell us - if money, fame, power and everything is taken care off - what would be the Ikigai. Yes, your Ikigai? *

Section 10 : This is the last thing that matters in the assessment, please go through the video. After that answer the question below

Here is the last question. We would like to know your reflection from answering the questions in the assessment. What can you conclude about yourself? ( We know this assessment can take a lot of time to complete. It is very different from what you get in school, however, if you take a look at it deeply... this assessment is all about you, what you are, where you want to go, why you want to go there and what you really stand for. Most people never do this kind of an exercise ever in their life! ) *
