I'm really sad to say

that in some ways I think

the world has become a little harder

and has become faster.

The changes in the world,

like all challenges,

have forced us to become more creative,

have given us no alternative

but to become braver,

so more articulate about our feelings,

have made things like assertiveness

absolutely obligatory,

calling out what you want absolutely a must,

and really making sure

that you in some way make your talents known

because those days of kind of people going out

and hunting for talent,

yes, I'm sure on some level that still happens,

but it's hard, you really got to hold up a big sign

and say, "I am really good at what I do,

and I'm really, really rather wonderful.

You should look at me

because I'll be great for your team."

That is, I think, in a nutshell,

how the world has changed.
