“World at a Glance”: Making Lemonade Out of Lemons

Hi graduates!

As the graduation season approaches, are you ready for your new journey in life? Or are you feeling a mix of excitement and anxiety? The confusion and employment pressure that follow graduation are even more prominent in the context of a slow global economic recovery in the aftermath of the pandemic.

Taking the mainland China as an example, the rising youth unemployment rate in recent years has led to more and more young people pursuing postgraduate studies or applying for civil servant posts in hopes of securing stable jobs. This trend has resulted in number of social problems.

However, from a historical perspective, peaks in unemployment have often been followed by economic restructuring and the emergence of new industries. Therefore, as Albert Einstein says, “In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity!”

The rise of AI and the development of new industries present young people with unprecedented opportunities. To seize these opportunities, young people must break free from traditional ways of thinking and actively embrace change. This involves continuously acquiring new knowledge and skills to adapt to the new economic environment. In the future, unique qualities and innovative abilities of young people will be their greatest advantages. Hoping everyone can find their own path and shape a distinctive future!

危機中尋轉機,勇敢邁向未來

畢業快樂!

在全球經濟復蘇緩慢的後疫情時代 ,畢業生就業面臨著越來越大的壓力。以內地的高失業率為例,越來愈多的畢業生選擇入讀研究院或投考公務員以獲得穩定工作,導致就業不均等的社會問題。

可幸的是,歷史告誡我們每次失業高峰之後都孕育著新的經濟增長潛力。如今,人工智能等科技的發展為未來提供了無限可能。假若我們能識別危機中的機遇,也許傳統職業道路已不再是唯一選擇,年輕人需要適應新的科技和經濟環境,擁抱變化,尋找新機會。與其依賴傳統經驗,年輕人更應獨立思考、主動學習,利用互聯網拓展知識,培養與未來匹配的技能。相信在跨時代的將來,年輕人的獨特性和創新能力將成為他們最大的優勢。

希望每位青年都能在這個過程中尋找到屬於自己的答案,塑造出與眾不同的未來!
