Funda indaba yami yokuthi ngihambe kanjani kusukela ekuzicabangeni njengebhola eliyinqaba ngisakhula, ngithuthuke ngingene, futhi ngibone, ngingumcabango Wezinhlelo zemvelo kanye ne-Futurist. Ngifuna uxhaso lohlelo lwe-PG-Dip Futures lonyaka owodwa kanye nokwelulekwa okuqinile ukungisiza ukuthi ngikhule ngifinyelele amakhono ami emvelo kanye nothando lwami lwe-Futures Ukuqamba ku-Biotechnology.
NginguChuma Niklaas, owazalwa zi-13 ku-April 1997. Ngihlala futhi ngakhulela eKapa, eNingizimu Afrika, ingxenye enkulu yokuphila kwami. NgiyiFuturist neTechnologist ekhuthazayo. Kusukela ngisemncane, ngicabanga ukuthi ungasho ukuthi ngangihlale ngithathwa njengomuntu ongenalwazi ibhola elingajwayelekile nomphuphi. Ekukhuleni kwami bengihlala nginenkinga yokungena noma ukuzitholela indawo engizozenzela kuyo. Nokho ngiphansi kodwa ngokuqinisekile ngaphuma egobolondweni lami, ngaqala eSikoleni Samabanga Aphakeme lapho ngabona khona uthando lwami lokukhuluma esidlangalaleni nokwabelana ngemibono emisha, futhi ngaphinde ngakhethwa eMkhandlwini Wedolobha Elincane. Kusukela kulokho okuhlangenwe nakho ngangazi ukuthi ngifuna ukwenza okuthile okwakuzoletha umthelela omuhle kulabo abaseduze kwami futhi ngethemba ukuthi ngenze umthelela omuhle emhlabeni jikelele.
Kusukela esikoleni esiphakeme bengilokhu nginentshisekelo enkulu kwezobuchwepheshe nokuthi kungasiza kanjani ukudala umhlaba ongcono kuwo wonke umuntu ikakhulukazi ngemva kokufunda izincwadi ezifana nencwadi kaRay Kurzweil ethi 'The Singularity is Near' kanye ne-Abundance: 'Ikusasa Lingcono Kunokuba Ucabanga' by Peter Diamandis and Peter Kolter. Yilokho okungigqugquzele kakhulu ukuthi ngifune ukuzibandakanya ezenzweni ezintsha ezibandakanya ubuchwepheshe obusafufusa nobunobuchwepheshe obungadala ushintsho olusha lwepharadigm emphakathini.
Bengisahlala ngizabalaza ukuthola indawo yami noma yimuphi umsebenzi noma umkhakha wokufunda okufanele ngiwulandele ukuze ngikwazi ukufeza izinhloso zami kanye nezithakazelo zami ezihlukahlukene. Ekuqaleni benginokugodla, kodwa ekugcineni nganquma ukufunda e-AFDA's Business, Innovation and Technology(BIT) ubuhlakani lapho ngisanda kuqeda khona. I-BCom yami ku-Innovation and Technology. Ukufunda kwa-AFDA kwangisiza ukuthi ngifunde okuningi ngami kanye nalokho engangikufuna ngempilo yami, ikakhulukazi ukuletha imibono kanye nemiqondo empilweni, kanye namamodeli ahlukahlukene kanye nendlela eholela kuyo emisha.
Futhi ngabona ukuthi ngingumcabango Wezinhlelo zemvelo futhi I-Futurist, enekhono lokubuka ngeso lengqondo kanye nesibikezelo ikusasa elihle nezimo, futhi ngiyabona ukuthi ngingawakha kanjani lawo makusasa ukuze alinganise. Ngiyazibona njengenhlangano umklami Ngokuzayo ezweni lanamuhla elishintsha ngokushesha, njengoba lokhu kunginika amandla ngempela futhi kungilethela ukugcwaliseka.
Nakuba ngijwayele babe izinhlobonhlobo ezibanzi zezithakazelo emhlabeni wokuqamba kanye nobuchwepheshe, uthando lwami olukhulu kuyinto embonini ye-biotechnology. Lokhu kungisizile ukuba ngithole inhloso yami ye-Mass Transformational Purpose (MTP) okuyintuthuko, ukusungula kanye nokuba negalelo ekukhuleni okuhle kwezenhlalo nezomnotho. Ngokuba ne-MTP kuba lula ukusebenzisa ukucabanga kwenyanga lapho umuntu ebhekana nenselele enkulu noma inkinga efana nokushintsha kwesimo sezulu, ngesixazululo esiqinile sisebenzisa ubuchwepheshe obuphazamisayo nobusakhulayo futhi ngokusebenzisa engikufunde ku-AFDA nokuba nethemba imibono yami kanye namakhono ami, ngingadlulela kulokhu. Kwakunjalo ngempela ngiyabonga ngendaba yokufunda esebenzayo ye-AFDA engingaqala ngayo sebenzisa engikufundile. Ngonyaka wami wesibili ngabamba iqhaza kwi-Biotech Hackathon ehlelwe nguMerk futhi ngeyami ukufunda okusetshenzisiwe, Ngiyaziqhenya ukusho I uthathe indawo yesithathu.
Ukuze ngifinyelele lokho bengibheke ekwakheni umqondo webhizinisi wenyanga kusuka kulokhu I-Hackathon, leyo yomqondo we-moonshot ebizwa ngokuthi i-Metamorph, lapho i- umgomo oyinhloko ukuletha imiphumela engcono kakhulu yezempilo ngayinye, ngokwandisa isimo somuntu kusetshenziswa ukuguqulwa kobuchwepheshe bomchazi beNanotechnology, Biotechnology/Synthetic Biology, Information and Communications Technology kanye nobuchwepheshe bengqondo.
Ngisekuqaleni komsebenzi wami njengoba ngiqede ingxenye yokuqala yokufunda kwami ngokuqeda iziqu zami. Njengamanje ngifuna ukuzithuthukisa, ngithole ulwazi olufaneleke kakhulu emkhakheni wokuklama, ukusungula izinto ezintsha kanye nezinhlelo zokucabanga, futhi ngakhe ubudlelwano obuncikene, amanethiwekhi kanye nokwelulekwa okuzongivumela ukuthi ngiqhubeke nokuthuthukisa nokwakha. iphupho lami nombono for Metamorph zibe a okungokoqobo.
Ngelinye ilanga ngizibona nginje I-CEO noma inhloko yenhlangano yomhlaba wonke ekuthuthukisweni kwezobuchwepheshe, okungenzeka ukuthi ibona umqondo we-Metamorph yami yokuqala, futhi ikhulisa lokhu ibe yinkampani yomhlaba wonke nesebenzisanayo ku-biotech. Umkhakha wezamandla kanye nokuthuthukiswa kwengqalasizinda nakho kuyisimo esingijabulisa kakhulu.
Ngingathanda ukuqhubeka ngithuthuka ukufunda kwami nge-University of Stellenbosch Business School, ngokubamba iqhaza ohlelweni lwabo lonyaka owodwa lwe-PG-Dip Futures. Ngizobe ngibheka S uxhaso. I inzuzo eyodwa kanye nenzuzo yokuba seNingizimu Afrika isilinganiso sethu sokushintshaniswa sihle kakhulu uma sixhasa ngezimali ezweni lokuqala njengoba kusho ukutshalwa kwezimali okungu-+-£5000 ($6500).
Ngiphinde ngibheke I-Futures Mentor eyinselele engangisiza ekuqondeni kangcono lo mkhakha wemisebenzi othokozisayo kungaba yi-Biotech noma kwenye inkambu 'yekusasa'. uhlobo lomeluleki Ngokufanelekile Ngingathanda umuntu ozifelayo ngobuchwepheshe obusafufusa onolwazi futhi onobungcweti kulowo mkhakha. Umeluleki one-Futuristic ne-Command njengamandla awo angaba ibhonasi.
Ungafunda kabanzi mayelana Nohlelo Lokucebisa/Lokuxhasa ngezansi futhi uma ungathanda ukulalela inhlolokhono yami yakamuva 'yekusasa' ungabuka lapha.
