Vale 2 humans



To build #ai models and achieve digital transformation , you need the foundations to be solid …. These 2 insights , in my view, go a long way to create that foundation !


“You don’t live once. You live every day, and you die once. None of us know when that day will come.” – Bobby Darin


“If you want a stronger country, start by being a stronger neighbour. Treat others the way you want to be treated—respect, dignity, and honesty. That principle builds families, communities, and nations.” – Charlie Kirk


A Philosophy to Live By

• Take nothing for granted.

• Chase the dreams that stir your soul and take action to Pursue them


and most of all  


• Treat people, animals, and the world with the respect you’d hope for in return—everything else is commentary.


So who was Bobby Darin 


Bobby Darin wasn’t just a singer—he was a fighter. Born in 1936 in the Bronx, with a weak heart, doctors said he wouldn’t make it past 16. Instead, he went on to fill the world with unforgettable music, squeezing a lifetime of achievement into just 37 years.


His life began with struggle and secrets. His mother, only 16 when she had him, let her own mother raise him as her son. Bobby grew up believing his mother was his sister. Out of challenge and uncertainty, he built resilience, artistry, and a legacy that still echoes today.


Darin’s story reminds us that life isn’t measured by its length but by its intensity, passion, and impact. 


Why Charlie Kirk’s Story Inspires


Charlie Kirk founded Turning Point USA at just 18, driven by the belief that one voice can make a difference. From college campuses to national platforms, he challenged young people to engage, debate, and think critically about the future.


At the heart of his message is a timeless truth: our strength doesn’t come from tearing others down, but from lifting each other up.This create strong communities, and strong communities build a nation worth passing on.


So what’s my gem 💎 from these 2 humans 


Dream, take action and treat people and things around you like you would like to be treated !

Power Walking takes on a new meaning


Each step you take could power the future.

Imagine walking through your city , one and every step you take generates electricity. Thanks to kinetic energy technology, a single step can light a bulb for up to 20 seconds.

Envision this implemented across your train stations, sidewalks, and sports stadiums. With millions of footsteps every day, we could:

  • Power lights and sensors
  • Reduce strain on Tokyo's energy grid
  • Transform human movement into a renewable energy source

Japan is experimenting with piezoelectric floor tiles in high-traffic spots like Shibuya and Tokyo Stations, where thousands of people pass through every day. This stepping technology is something I would love to see implemented in Australia!

This isn't science fiction. It's actually where behavioral science meets smart infrastructure. Every step becomes a step toward sustainability.

Could Tokyo lead the way as a global model for kinetic-powered cities? What do you think about this technology? What obstacles and concerns? What are pros and cons?

AI Is Reshaping Employment: How Secure Is Your Job?



We’re entering a new era where exponential business growth no longer equals exponential headcount.


Corporates are applying the FIFO method: Fit In Or F-ck Off.


Loyalty, tenure, and conformance are being replaced by capability, contribution, and commitment.


The numbers don’t lie!!

• Microsoft: Satya Nadella cut 15,000 jobs this year despite explosive revenue.

• Amazon: Andy Jassy says teams will be smaller and scrappier, with AI doing jobs people once did.

• Alphabet (Google): Sundar Pichai made clear strong growth ≠ more staff.

• Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Verizon, Intel: All cutting jobs despite profits.


And in Australia


• Atlassian: Sacked 150 via terse video calls.

• ANZ: CEO Nuno Matos demanding speed and radical change.


The question isn’t whether AI will take your job — it’s whether you’ll adapt fast enough to stay relevant.


So, how do you stay employable?


• Build AI literacy – learn how to use AI as your productivity partner.

• Show measurable contribution – be the person who makes tech worth it.

• Adapt mindset – replace entitlement with agility and value-creation.


As Allen Pathmarajah has always said  “ your people are not your greatest asset — your  rightpeople are your  greatest asset.”


The workplace of the future will reward those who fit in, skill up, and step up.


What’s your strategy to stay employable in the AI era?
