I'm glad you've made it through to another new year. Since yesterday I have started seeing new year resolutions flying on social media platforms. That's cool, it's good to plan to avoid failure. But, you will do yourself good to reflect on how well you have achieved your last year resolutions. I'm sure many of these resolutions were not achieved because they are not strategic but mere words of mouth. I've seen some organizations/multi-nationals commit this same planning error. Should you continue to commit this avoidable blunder? No , you shouldn't. My $1billion advice to you is to plan for the next decade, that is, have a 10years plan( 2020- 2030). Say, in the next 10years, I want to achieve this or that (....) However, that doesn't warrant you shelve your new year plans or resolutions. No!

I was watching television yesterday, when I saw an invention of a self-driving car,which means humans will face extinction in that particular field. Don't forget it's a machine (car) that is being run on a software,what about if the software was hacked or was corrupted what to you think will happen to the passengers? Tech will render people jobless in the long run. That was the statement of a friend when we were engaged in a discussion about "future of work and present unemployment problem". My response was that,technology improves business productivity than man power and It cuts cost of production. Truly,tech will make some people jobless because it will make some jobs go into extinction. Yet,Tech creates new jobs with new ways of doing it. It changes the narrative of how works are being done. Technology will surely make some businesses go into extinction, but some will continue to wax stronger because they are flexible enough to
