It is said that there is a time for everything; in other words, the season is constantly changing. It is thus no surprise to see many changes in recent years. The question is how to respond when confronted with a change that appears as a crisis. To answer that, it is worth noting that the word crisis in Chinese is made up of two words, danger and opportunity. As such, we can adopt one of the responses disclosed by King Whitney Jr., “To the fearful, [change] is threatening because it means that things may get worse. To the hopeful, it is encouraging because things may get better. To the confident, it is inspiring because the challenge exists to make things better.” Thriving Through Change 2024 focuses on the opportune challenge of adapting and engineering to transform into a brighter tomorrow. This colloquy is a vehicle for bringing guardians of this beautiful planet together to exchange ideas for Thriving Through Change. According to Socrates,“The secret of change is to focus all of your energy not on fighting the old, but on building the new.” Therefore, our focus is on healthier living and sounder engineering. Specifically, we strive for generating cleaner energy; improving understanding of land, sea, and air; minimizing waste and entropy generation; implementing eco-friendly agriculture and farming; and achieving a healthy mind, body and soul.

Learn to Smile as the End of the World is Not Imminent, Hopefully.
According to some media reports from a high-income country, half of their teenagers believe the world may end in their lifetime, meaning by the end of this century. One of the reasons for this phenomenon, suggested by psychologists, is ‘Eco-Anxiety’, a fear of climate change. This fear is also said to be causing the plummeting birth rates in rich countries. Yet don’t these generations know that their quality of life, in terms of increased living standards, access to technology, air and water quality, medical care, communications, and information, could only be imagined by their parents and grandparents? Apparently not! Do people in lower income countries have the same fears? If so, why is emmigration at record heights, with the equivalent of the total population of a country the size of Pakistan moving to favoured destinations such as Australia, New Zealand, North America, and Europe in search of a better life, especially for their young families? Looking for someone, or something, to blame for this anxiety is likely as unproductive as trying to dispute sincerely held beliefs, even if the facts do call them into question. Perhaps by presenting examples of the many incredible human achievements, especially from the past couple of centuries, more people will stop frowning and learn how to smile, but is that a forlorn hope yet . . . ‘Qui audet adipiscitur’.
