"The Only Thing I Know is That I Know Nothing" - Socrates

We live in a time where there is more opportunity to learn, grow and connect than ever before in History. While that may sound like the best thing ever, it can get overwhelming to many (if not all), especially for those of my generation, Gen Z. I feel like everything around me is moving so quickly (like AI) that I can't keep up with it. My brain is overloaded with information, the majority of which I can not truly grasp...

Which is why the more I learned, the more I feel like "The only thing I know is that I know nothing", just like Socrates. Now, I may not have even half of his wisdom but I do get something. Something it took me a long time to understand when the answer was right in front of me this whole time:

There will NEVER be another time like the present. It won't be easier, and things will not be magically better if I keep saying "I'll do it tomorrow" or "I need to 100% confident and ready".

SO by joining this community as well as taking concrete action, I am thinking "screw overthinking, let's just see what happens 😅".

My name is Amélien Verheyden, I am an 18 years old normal guy from Canada with great ambitions but no clear direction. I have this gut feeling that I can thrive in business, in helping people, but there are too many unknowns for now.

STILL, I decided to take action before being ready.

My purpose here and during the Summit is to invest in myself as that is the best investment that I can make. I may not yet know when or how I will apply in my life the concepts I am going to learn here but, I'm only striving to get BETTER.

Which is why I humbly ask for your advice if you are willing to share it, as I know I have much to learn from the many successful like-minded people that are in a position I desire.

So let us all show solidarity and pull each other up! 😊

Amélien
