Brigadoon = Who is this for?

You are curious.

You can check your ego.

You want to make things.

You could be a thought leader.

You could be a senior executive.

You seek knowledge from others.

You could be thinking what is next.

You could be running your own business

You could be leading a public policy campaign.

You could be seeking some new tools to help you.

You just want to learn how to get better at being you.

You have said ‘when the time is right’ too many times.

You could have a great career but have a yearning to do something else.

"In exams, as in life, we should be willing to rethink.

"We are prone to cling tightly to the devil we know. The likely explanation is that we are seeking to minimise regret. Forget the old cliché about regretting the things you didn’t do more than the things you did: we regret misfiring action more than misfiring inaction. We starkly remember the times we changed things for the worse, and we more easily forget the times when we failed to change things for the better."

China's robocars are being lapped by their US competitors: Bloomberg reports, China is getting a late start in the burgeoning field, considering California has allowed public-road testing since at least September 2014. That’s enabling US developers to lap their China counterparts, with Alphabet Inc.’s Waymo LLC logging millions of cumulative test miles in that state alone. But China’s chaotic traffic has the potential to boost the self-driving industry’s capabilities beyond those of the US. “The US is ahead right now,’’ said Bill Russo, chief executive officer of Shanghai-based consultancy Automobility Ltd. “But China will soon make significant strides, and I am fully confident that by 2030 it will be a different game.’’
