Here are three students sharing their thoughts.Ethan Carter, 17 – International Baccalaureate Honestly, some days I feel like a total maniac. Being dyslexic means I already have to work twice as hard to process the IB behemoth, so when my workplace gets disruptive, my cognitive load just redlines. My boss is incredibly mercurial and vile; he’ll greenlight a proposal for my time off and then text me an hour later telling me I have to pull a double shift. It’s toxic. I’m constantly trying to meet my target hours at work while staying on top of my Extended Essay and Internal Assessments , but most of the time I’m just trying to keep my head above water at the shop. I’ve had to liaise with clients who are as inconsiderate as my manager. Last week, I was so tired I almost forgot to cite a source– I’m terrified of accidental plagiarism ruining my diploma. I need to bury myself in my revision, but this stagnant job is just dragging me down. cognitive load Extended Essay Internal Assessments plagiarism diploma bury myself in inhale / reach / set out hand / fill / depend in burn / wear / attend out look / put / take after
Sofia García, 18 – Vocational Field I love my setup. My manager is visionary and so approachable, which makes the café such a coordinated and dynamic workplace. I don’t sit and mug up theories from a book; I prefer to study as I go. I log hours at the café, and my I’m always happy to cover for a coworker because I know they’d do the same for me. I don’t have to burn the midnight oil or cram for exams. It’s such a motivational job that it actually helps me work harder in class. studymug up cram Andrea Okoye, 17 – Advanced Level qualification Look, I’ll be real–I’m a bit of a procrastinator. I took this agency job because I wanted the cash, but trying to multitask A-Levels and a cutthroat career is grueling. My supervisor is totally feckless, so I’m always having to flag issues, knock out tasks and pick up the slack. I’m supposed to be doing spaced repetition for History, but instead, I’m stuck trying to crunch the numbers on a marketing spreadsheet just to meet a deadline. The office is frenetic and high-pressure. My teachers are erudite but uncompromising and not indulgent, and they don't care if I had to touch base with a client until 9 PM. I need to start swimming in past papers. I keep telling myself I can grind through my revisio at 2 AM, but I’m exhausted. I need to balance my life before I completely get expelled or eke out a pass. grind through my revision spaced repetition swimming in past papers get expelled eke out 3 Read UK AT THE MOMENT.

THE ROLE OF AI IN BUSINESS: BUSINESS REVOLUTION OR BUSINESS NECESSITY? 1.2 The use of AI in business is not new: there has been a steady and impeccable evolution of how companies approach and fund it, moving from cautious experimentation to bold, ubiquitous deployment across entire organisations. You only need to look at the meticulous shift in enterprise spending — AI investment alone surged from $2.3 billion in 2023 to $13.8 billion in 2024, so it can be argued that these advances have helped justify the enormous expense of time, talent, and capital that businesses invest themselves fully in. Companies no longer simply buy software; they restructure their infrastructure, retrain their workforces, and embed AI into the very DNA of their operations. High-performing organisations are now committing more than 20% of their digital budgets to AI technologies, while a McKinsey survey found that 92% of executives plan to increase their AI spending within the next three years. To embrace new challenges at this pace, businesses must go beyond pilot programmes and build systems that scale. In financial services, AI is enhancing investment modelling and risk detection. In healthcare, it is accelerating diagnostics and remote monitoring. In manufacturing, intelligent automation is transforming production floors. The most successful companies are those that gauge opinions across their organisation before rolling out change rather than forcing technology onto unprepared teams. The business landscape is undergoing a fundamental transformation driven by Artificial Intelligence (AI). By integrating automated decision-making, predictive analytics, and conversational AI, organizations are unlocking unprecedented levels of efficiency and speed. AI is no longer viewed merely as an optional tool for growth, but as an essential element of market survival. Over the past couple of decades, artificial intelligence has changed the entire face of business, offering companies the ability to automate the mundane, predict the unpredictable, and personalise at a scale that was once unimaginable. As in other fields, the adoption of AI in business can be justified if it leads to measurable competitive advantage. But it is important to distinguish between strategic adoption and the kind of audacious, headline- chasing investment that is driven by fear of missing out (FOMO)* rather than by genuine purpose. Nevertheless, we have to accept that AI is now a formidable part of the modern commercial engine, and that its importance will only grow. Global AI startup funding reached $202 billion in 2025 — almost matching the combined funding of every non-AI startup on the planet. The proportion of organisations reporting AI use jumped from 55% in 2023 to 78% in 2024 alone. Despite ongoing uncertainty, it is certain that companies will continue to harness the power of AI to carve out their unique space in an increasingly crowded marketplace. Technological ambition is now an integral part of business at the highest level, and competition is not just about who has the best product — but whose intelligence is the sharpest. Given how much money rides on AI today, it is little wonder that companies are keen to capitalise on its promises to help them win. The old corporate saying, "it's not whether you grow or stay still," has quietly been replaced by something far more high- stakes and sometimes incorrigible: innovate or disappear. But when people celebrate AI's role in transforming companies like OpenAI or Amazon, it is impossible to ignore the darker reality lurking behind the hype. A staggering 95% of enterprise AI pilot programmes are failing to deliver measurable financial returns, according to an MIT study. Gartner predicts that at least 30% of AI projects will be abandoned after proof of concept, often due to poor data quality, unclear business value, or inadequate risk controls. This compounds the issue considerably: companies pour in capital without a plan, only to discover that 88% of AI pilots never make it to production. It is not surprising that only 4% of companies have achieved significant returns on their AI investments, as reported by Harvard Business Review. Surely it is not acceptable that in a race this consequential, most participants are running without a map. The absence of having a dedicated framework remains the single most common and controversial reason promising projects quietly die. Forward-thinking companies now have access to an arduous but ultimately rewarding journey of transformation — one that demands patience, clarity, and conviction. Yet this does not negate or fully explain their success, even though machine learning platforms, large language models, and AI chatbots have enabled them to outperform competitors in remarkable ways. No serious business leader today would think of returning to spreadsheet-driven forecasting or manual customer segmentation: the AI-powered alternatives are simply and decisively better. For t

Sean Aiken’s journey has fascinated many people since it began. He has been exploring different ideas about success ever since he graduated, constantly questioning traditional career paths. In fact, he has completed 52 different jobs in 52 weeks, ranging from a firefighter to an NHL mascot, and this experience has shaped his worldview. In 2007, before the project began, he had been struggling with uncertainty about his future and felt lost after graduating from Capilano College in British Columbia. By the time he started the experiment, he had already decided to challenge himself by working a new job every week for a year. Remarkably, every penny he was earning from each job was being donated to the Make Poverty History campaign, raising a total of $20,401.60. Sean is inspiring many people as his journey continues to unfold. In the coming years, he will be sharing his experiences with global audiences, and this will help people rethink their definition of success. By 2030, he will have been advocating for purposeful employment for over two decades, and his ideas will have transformed how people approach their careers.

Give examples. Mrs. Dalloway said she would buy the flowers herself! For Lucy had her work cut out for her. The doors would be taken off their hinges; Rumpelmayer’s men were coming. And then, thought Clarissa Dalloway, what a morning—fresh as if issued to children on a beach. What a lark! What a plunge! For so it had always seemed to her when, with a little squeak of the hinges, which she could hear now, she had burst open the French windows and plunged at Bourton into the open air. How fresh, how calm—stiller than this, of course— the air was in the early morning; like the flap of a wave, the kiss of a wave; chill and sharp and yet, for a girl of eighteen as she then was, solemn. Standing there at the open window, she felt that something awful was about to happen. She looked at the flowers, at the trees with the smoke winding off them, and the rooks rising and falling. She stood and looked until Peter Walsh said, “Musing among the vegetables?” Was that it? “I prefer men to cauliflowers.” Was that it? He must have said it at breakfast one morning when she had gone out onto the terrace—Peter Walsh. He would be back from India one of these days, June or July; she forgot which, for his letters were awfully dull. It was his sayings one remembered: his eyes, his pocket-knife, his smile, his grumpiness, and, when millions of things had utterly vanished—how strange it was!—a few sayings like this about cabbages. She stiffened a little on the curb, waiting for Durtnall’s van to pass. A charming woman, Scrope Purvis thought her, knowing her as one does know people who live next door in Westminster. There was a touch of the bird about her, of the jay—blue-green, light, vivacious— though she was over fifty and had grown very white since her illness. There she perched, never seeing him, waiting to cross, very upright. For having lived in Westminster—how many years now? Over twenty—one feels, even in the midst of traffic or waking at night, Clarissa was positive, a particular hush, or solemnity; an indescribable pause, a suspense (but that might be her heart, affected, they said, by influenza) before Big Ben strikes. There! Out it boomed. First a warning, musical; then the hour, irrevocable. The leaden circles dissolved in the air. Such fools we are, she thought, crossing Victoria Street. For Heaven only knows why one loves it so, how one sees it so, making it up, building it around one,!
tumbling it, creating it every moment afresh. But even the veriest frumps, the most dejected of miseries sitting on doorsteps, do the same. They cannot be dealt with by Acts of Parliament, she felt positive, for that very reason: they love life. In people’s eyes, in the swing, tramp, and trudge; in the bellow and uproar; the carriages, motor cars, omnibuses, vans, sandwich men shuffling and swinging; brass bands; barrel organs; in the triumph and the jingle and the strange high singing of some aeroplane overhead—there was what she loved: life, London, this moment of June. For it was the middle of June. The war was over, except for someone like Mrs. Foxcroft at the Embassy last night, eating her heart out because that nice boy was killed and now the old Manor House must go to a cousin; or Lady Bexborough, who opened a bazaar, they said, with the telegram in her hand —John, her favourite, killed. But it was over; thank Heaven— over. It was June. The King and Queen were at the Palace. But how strange, on entering the Park: the silence, the mist, the hum, the slow-swimming happy ducks, the pouched birds waddling. And who should be coming along with his back against the Government buildings, most appropriately, carrying a dispatch box stamped with the Royal Arms, but Hugh Whitbread—her old friend Hugh, the admirable Hugh! “Good-morning to you, Clarissa!” said Hugh, rather extravagantly, for they had known each other as children. “Where are you off to?” “I love walking in London,” said Mrs. Dalloway. “Really it’s better than walking in the country.” They had just come up—unfortunately—to see doctors. Other people came to see pictures; go to the opera; take their daughters out; the Whitbreads came “to see doctors.” Times without number Clarissa had visited Evelyn Whitbread in a nursing home. Was Evelyn ill again? Evelyn was a good deal out of sorts, said Hugh. Ah yes, she did of course; what a nuisance; and felt very sisterly and oddly conscious at the same time of her hat. Not the right hat for the early morning, was that it? For Hugh always made her feel, as he bustled on, raising his hat rather extravagantly and assuring her that she might be a girl of eighteen, and of course he was coming to her party tonight, Evelyn absolutely insisted, only a little late he might be after the party at the Palace to which he had to take one of Jim’s boys,—she always felt a little skimpy beside Hugh; schoolgirlish; but attached to him, partly from having known him always, but she did think him a good sort in his own way, though Richard was nearly driven mad by him, and as for Peter Walsh, he had never to this day forgiven her for liking him. She could remember scene after scene at Bourton —Peter furious; Hugh not, of course, his match in any way, but still not a positive imbecile as Peter made out; not a mere barber’s block. When his old mother wanted him to give up shooting or to take her to Bath he did it, without a word; he was really unselfish, and as for saying, as Peter did, that he had no heart, no brain, nothing but the manners and breeding of an English gentleman, that was only her dear Peter at his worst; and he could be intolerable; he could be impossible; but adorable to walk with on a morning like this. *the feeling of anxiety or discomfort that others are having rewarding experiences without you.
