Hope for the Best and Prepare for the Worst!

When I was in my teens, Japanese longed for American life, American films and American music. Furthermore, most of the competitive workers in Japan have studied English and got MBA in the United States in order to learn leading-edge business and after that they have worked as a manager or found their own companies to progress their careers. This is because America has been the most powerful country in the world and they have been generating innovative business models and excellent human resources. However, nowadays these situations are changing.

Dr. Fareed Zakaria, Indian journalist and also famous writer of "Post American World" states that although America probably remains one of the powerful countries in the world, we have to prepare for events that are likely to take place in developing countries. Have you ever thought about the world going on? Recently the highest ferris wheel in the world is in Singapore. The richest person in the world is not Bill Gates, just a Mexican guy. Surprisingly, the largest shopping mall is in China. The impressive sixth sense technology was invented by an Indian technologist. Moreover, the biggest film maker in the world is not Hollywood, but Bollywood in India.

Surprisingly, American students realize these facts and face the reality seriously. They are thinking how they will negotiate with the Chinese effectively and how they collaborate with people who are from UAE smoothly by trial and error. Although we cannot predict our future, we can prepare for our careers. We have to say hope for the best and prepare for the worst!
