The Future Belongs to Those Who Create It
Imagine having just ten minutes to evacuate your home as wildfires approach. What would you take? For Frederik Pferdt, this crisis moment wasn't about choosing between possessions - it was about choosing between mindsets: fear or opportunity. This pivotal moment crystallized the core philosophy that Pferdt champions: the future isn't something that happens to us; it's something we actively create through our choices. Most of us think about "THE future" as some distant, one-dimensional construct filled with AI and robotics - a picture painted by futurists. But what about YOUR future? The truth is, your future isn't distant - it's being woven right now through countless choices you make or don't make. When you actively choose, you create your own path; when you don't, someone else determines it for you. We fear the future because we fear change, which is ironic since we're entirely products of change - built by change but not built for change.
