Such dramatic transformations in the IT, digital, and technology landscapes raise but one outstanding question: Can AI truly replace humans? The answer is a clear ‘no,’ at least in my opinion. Certainly, AI is making great strides, but it will never be able to match these qualities adorned deep in our genes: creativity, intuition, and emotional intelligence—that is, to be like a genuine human. Sure, AI is great for crunching numbers and really excels at automating routine operations without the need for rest , but when solving some non-trivial problems, thinking outside the box, and understanding the subtleties of human behavior, it just can’t keep up. AI writes the code and detects the bugs in the software development process, but it is the innovative vision of a human engineer that guides the way. In cybersecurity, AI can be applied to pore through the ever-widening set of threats, but the ability humans bring is in catching the subtle signs of the threats and repeatedly thinking ahead of infiltrators. With the help of AI, digital marketing campaign optimization can be done, but crafting powerful narratives and creating resonating content that align our emotions just lies in the hands of human marketers. After all, AI is not a replacement for man; rather, a powerful partner. Automation of routine jobs by AI liberates us for creative, empathetic, and consistent human things. As artificial intelligence grows, we shall continue to adapt and learn other skills. But one thing is for sure: human skills like creativity, critical thinking, and emotional intelligence will always land a high demand for the time at hand. Let’s embrace the human-AI partnership and create a future in which the technologies increase our capabilities but never replace us. Together, we definitely can unlock new possibilities and create a brighter future for all. We would be able to automate the mundane jobs and ease the processes by working together with AI and gaining valuable insights, but in turn focusing on skills such as empathy, communication, and problem-solving. At the end of the day, it’s not humanity against AI. It’s humanity and AI that work together to build a better world. Let’s work to build a future in which technology serves the people rather than the contrary.

When you decide to move to the GCC, the following tips might come in handy: The gulf region has very few opportunities for freshers who are just out of college. You should always have 2-3 years of work experience, anywhere in the industry before you apply for a job. Do your research, both online and ‘in real life.’ When you decide on a place, tell friends, family, co-workers, neighbors – everyone in your network. Chances are they will know someone who knows someone, go beyond the guidebooks. Ask for names of people who are still living in the GCC who might be accessible when you arrive, using email to connect with them

Language skills are very important, regardless of whatever field you are job hunting in. Take Adam, for instance, who has a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and is presently in an after-sales support role with a growing company. His skills in the usage of Word-processing software, databases, spreadsheets, email, and presentations are top-notch. Furthermore, he can also effectively use statistics to interpret graphs & tables. He went to attend an interview (which he calls his dream job) in the regional head office of an international sporting goods retail group , but only one thing was not right – his present experience was similar but in a different product line. Still he presented a strong , professional positive image which motivated his potential employers to consider him as a serious contender for the job and, in 15 days he had his dream job offer. So relevant field experience is unbeatable but additionally, other factors can’t be neglected either. Be aware of your achievements, abilities, values & weaknesses & also what you want out of life.

We all see those motivational videos and articles about the benefits of waking up early (some even at 4/5am!). But let’s be honest, how many of us can really achieve it and more importantly does this really work? The thought of waking up early might seem like a good idea at the time, but when that alarm does go off, the snooze button always seems like the better option.. So what really are the supposed benefits of waking up earlier? Mental fitness One of the most significant benefits of waking up early is reduced stress level. When you rise early, it eliminates the need to rush in the morning. You can then start your day on an optimistic note and such positivity often stays with you throughout the day. Better sleep quality Early risers often go to bed early. Getting up early is not something that should be followed irregularly but it needs to be established as a routine in your life. This translates into better sleep quality as your body’s internal clock adapts to your new sleep routine. More intelligent A research conducted by Texas University has identified that students who were early risers scored better grades than those who were late to rise. Their GPAs were higher than the latter. One can link it to an enhanced productivity and quality of sleep. More positive Getting up early instils you with positivity. A research has suggested that people who got up early were happier, not just for a short duration but overall in life. Seems good right? The question is though does it ACTUALLY work? I’m more of a “proof is in the pudding” kind of person. So what better way to test this out than to wake up earlier myself. After all, if there’s even a chance that it will make me more successful, I’ll give it a go. It’s Saturday night, it’s a new start to the week tomorrow and the alarm is set for 6am (I can’t say this was a nice feeling). 6am – alarm goes off, I immediately get out of bed (if you have read the Chimps Paradox you will know this is the most important bit, before your inner chimp kicks in and decides the snooze button looks more appealing!) 6.05am – Time for that morning walk (the older I get the more I see everyone is obsessed by their daily number of steps and that infamous post-food walk makes more sense). 6:45am – walk concluded whilst listening to Spotify’s daily “how to be a morning person” podcast – seems apt. Morning steps done and the kettle is boiling. 7am – Sit on the balcony with a cuppa, reading my book (choice at the moment is Steve Guest’s Top Biller, if you’re in recruitment I can recommend this 100%) 7.30am – shower, get ready and into the office for 8:30am. Ready to attack the day. But Mollie, I’m not a morning person. What tips can you give me to wake up? I hear you say… Well don’t worry, I’ve got you covered. Gain a purpose Did you know that by getting up just two hours earlier every single day, you gain 14 more hours in the week and 62 each month? Imagine the kind of progress you could make with that extra time. Become clear with how it will be spent and how this can move you closer to your short/long-term goals. Become clear with why you are getting up What do you plan to achieve by getting up earlier? Have this list right next to you. If the reason you are getting up is so important to you, nothing should get in your way of achieving it. Go to bed early 7-8 hours sleep is essential for the body to function the next day. Waking up earlier is going to be so much easier if you are well rested. If you want to wake up 2 hours earlier than usual, go to bed 2 hours earlier. Put your phone out of reach when you go to bed. This means that when the alarm rings you physically have to get up to turn it off in the morning (I found this one helped a lot). So then Mollie, are you more successful from going to bed early? (I can hear you already!) Whilst I can’t say that it’s made me more successful, I can say it’s made me more productive (and tired post 9pm!).. It’s something that I have found adds value to my life and I’ll be adding in into my weekday routine. In the meantime my weekends are saved for lie ins and no alarms! What does your morning routine look like and has getting up earlier made you more successful? Comments below..
