Hard truths time… Whenever a kid fails their exams, the script is already written. The parents sigh, the teachers point to the syllabus, and everyone looks at the kid like they’re some kind of broken biological machine that forgot how to “output” results. We call them lazy. We say they lack “grit.” We tell them …

Brands surfing trends? or shaping the future?
