From time to time I engage in conversations with students regarding opportunities to be pursued and the essentials required to secure those opportunities.  At the core of these discussions lies the need for the pursuer to come to grips with the four items (4Rs) in the title of this post.  Given a good specification of these, the student is better prepared to set off in the world.

Success is also contingent upon having an understanding of a range of future scenarios for the development of the world.  One of the more informed and provocative sources of looks at the future is Irving Wladawsky-Berger. 

This morning I want to call attention to his recent post, A Great Stagnation or a New Golden Age of Innovation?  How does Wladawsky-Berger's view of future color your consideration of the 4Rs?  What does the result thus suggest about imminent actions you are about to take or should be about to take?
