Abstract:

In today's rapidly evolving society, scholarship and self-cultivation are essential for navigating modern challenges. We must cultivate a lifelong learning mindset and a humble disposition that fosters effective teamwork. Environments shape character, highlighting the importance of empathy, while the classic Marshmallow Experiment proves that self-cultivation profoundly impacts our life trajectory. This lecture will introduce a four-step problem-solving framework and delve into environmental scanning analysis.
