Hi and welcome back to a new How Did You Make
It? I'm Yusra, your host, and today is recap
day. So let's get you four takeaways from last
week's episode with Ousmane. The first takeaway,
and you've heard it hundreds of times now, just
be curious. Ask yourself, how does it work like
Ousmane has been doing it for decades now? From
the youngest age, Ousmane has been inspired by
his family. To learn how things work, how things
were built, how can he fix things. So follow
his lead right there. Things are consistently
changing. And to keep up with all this change,
you need to stay curious and empower yourself
to find what makes sense for you. To learn more
about. And you don't need to have things figured
out. You need to be actively learning. That's
all. Well. Do you remember the 2030 skills of
tomorrow episode? We are talking about behaviors
and skills and everything that you need to have
in order to get ready for that time because everything
is quite uncertain. Well, adaptability was one
of them. And through the episode with Ousmane,
we do realize that he needed to adapt himself.
And it was one of the behaviors he needed to
stick to. in order to jump from one country to
another, to jump from one world to another, one
space from another. So the second takeaway here
is the goal is to learn and grow in whatever
you're doing. So whether you need to change majors,
change jobs, industries, this mindset, it will
set you up for success in the long run. Another
takeaway from the episode is look for role models.
you can find inspiration from people who look
like you. They either come from similar backgrounds
or have faced challenges which are similar to
yours or you feel connected to somehow. Role
models are often the spark for self -belief.
And the example we're referring to during the
episode was just imagine seeing someone from
your own country or community achieve greatness,
like an Olympian. It can start something in you,
the drive within you to push past your own limits.
And you can learn from them immensely. They will
show you how they navigated their own path, the
challenges they faced and the successes as well.
Lastly, in the continuity of self -belief, believe
in your abilities and take action towards what
interests you. In the episode, Ousmane reminds
us that if no one believes in you, believe in
yourself. Invest in yourself. Trust your potential.
Whether you were in high school or early in your
career, now is the time to build confidence in
yourself. Don't wait for the perfect moment.
Be proactive about your growth, about learning
new skills, and trust that you have what it takes
to succeed. Hope you were as inspired as I am.
