What piece of advice would you give graduates and high school students to prepare them for future?
The world is changing rapidly due to AI and technology.
New generations (and not only they) have to adapt to changes in the job market.
I know that many of us at PH have a founder mindset.
But not everyone will be a founder; someone will also have to be employed.
What advice would you give young people to be better prepared for this and the coming world?
Either in the field of entrepreneurship or employment?

I would suggest them to become Job Giver not to become Job Seeker. This is a high time to learn and build something.

@nitin_joshi That is the mindset we have (and I love it), but taking into account that not everybody is so ambitious, what the rest?
Focus on learning skills that matter—like communication, problem-solving, and adaptability. Don’t be afraid to try new things or make mistakes; that’s how you grow. Surround yourself with positive people, stay curious, work hard, and always be kind. Your attitude and effort will take you further than you think.

The world's changing fast, with AI taking over. So, here’s the deal: Get used to change.
Be flexible as stuff you learn today might be old news tomorrow. Be ready to learn new things.
Learn sticking-with-us skills like thinking clearly, solving problems, and talking to people. No matter what tech comes along, these skills remain.
Try new things and don’t freak out if you fail. Fail fast, learn from it, and move on. It’s how you get better.
Keep asking questions and exploring. Curiosity keeps you learning and adapting.
Hang out with different people from different groups/communities. They can help you out someday.
That’s how you might do okay in this era.

@sig_eternal All 5 points are pretty valid.
"Try new things and don’t freak out if you fail. Fail fast, learn from it, and move on. It’s how you get better." – This encouragement I needed from my 11 to 18. :)
If I could give one piece of advice to graduates and high school students, it would be this: stay curious and keep learning—beyond just textbooks or degrees. The world changes fast, and the ability to adapt, unlearn, and relearn will set you apart more than any single skill.
Don’t stress if you don’t have everything figured out right away. Most adults don’t either. Try different things, fail at some, succeed at others. Just keep moving forward with an open mind. And be kind—it’s underrated, but it will take you further than you think.
The future isn’t a fixed path—it’s something you shape every day by the choices you make. Start small, stay curious, and don’t be afraid to ask questions.

@santosh_misra Honestly, I am curious how schools want to adapt when they use the teaching system from the 18th century. 😳
