"I live in the best of all possible worlds because that has to be true. And everything I do today, I choose to do," he says. "If you want to partner with people, I'll take coherency over conviction." Next week Harvard will address one of the biggest questions of life: What's the point of education? Our forum from 2022 features students from around the world.

“What’s my passion?” “What do I want to do for the rest of my life?” These aren’t great questions because they’re fixed. They assume you’ll only have one job or one passion for the rest of your life.

They share about design thinking — and how its flexibility can help you navigate your career for years to come.
