IMPRESSIONS

question of how prepared we are—not just as future business leaders, but as

citizens—to navigate a world where the tools of war are no longer just weapons, but

data and networks.

In today’s world, the concept of truth is under assault. The rise of fake news,

propaganda, and misinformation has made it increasingly difficult to distinguish fact

from fiction (Even Supreme court Judges had to remind reputed lawyers to not use

social media information in case) , and then I often wonder, “What if the truth becomes

so obscured that we can no longer make informed decisions?” We live in an era of

“post-truth,” where objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than

appeals to emotion and personal belief. This is a dangerous development, as it

undermines our choice of making informed decisions.

The reality is, we’re living in a time of great uncertainty. And that uncertainty can be

overwhelming. As a student, it’s easy to feel like you’re carrying the weight of the world

on your shoulders. You’re expected to study, to excel, to network, and to somehow keep

So, where does that leave us? The truth is, there will always be “What Ifs.” The world is

First, we have to accept that uncertainty is a part of life but instead of seeing it as an

enemy, what if we saw it as an opportunity? I know, I know—easier said than done. But

think about it. Uncertainty means that anything can happen. Yes, that includes bad

things, but it also includes good things. And let’s be honest, if everything were

predictable, life would be pretty boring. Imagine knowing exactly what’s going to happen

every single day. Sure, it might feel safe at first, but eventually, it would start to feel like

you’re stuck in an endless loop.

The important thing to remember is that perspective is everything. When you’re in the

middle of a crisis, it can feel like the world is ending. But in reality, most crises are

temporary. They come, they go, and life goes on. I’m not saying we should ignore the

serious issues facing the world today. But we should also remember that humanity has
