Our world revolves around the pursuit of better—a better future, better technology, a better way to live life. It's an intrinsic drive that we all share, from the individual to the collective.
A staggering truth is that nearly all the things we consider good today will have changed fundamentally over just a few decades. Looking back at history, we see evidence of this time and time again, with a clearly accelerating rate of change.
For people who want to make a dent in the universe, the pursuit of better serves as a powerful compass for deciding what to work on. Looking at your life today, the things you do day in and day out, what are the things you can make better? I'm sure there are plenty of answers.
The perspective of better is intriguing because it implies you're working on real problems. The biggest waste of time is working on a solution in search of a problem. Every improvement in the world starts with the clear identification of a real and painful problem. Solving this puts you on the path of pursuing better in this world. So just look around and solve the problems you yourself have.
The pursuit of better is an exciting perspective for humanity and the individual. It puts us on a trajectory to elevate the quality of life for all of us. And it needs makers and doers like you and me to make that change happen. The time is now to make things better by making better things.
