Complementing these insights with #Charlie Munger โ who advocated continuous learning through the habit of reading & quoting the #ImpartialSpectator from #Adam Smithโs #TheoryofMoralSentiments, the Comdt underscored the role of conscience in guiding conduct of military leaders & inculcating courage to venture into the unknown.
The Comdt emphasised resilience in adversity, delayed gratification, maintaining an inner scorecard more than seeking external validation & focusing on what lies within oneโs control. He also stressed the need for #NishkamKarma, continuous learning & regular refinement of Tactics, Techniques & Procedures to remain relevant in an evolving technological environment. He spoke about the domains of #Space, #Drones, #Robotics, #AI & emerging technologies along with how they would effect warfare & thus make it imperative for #EME Officers to stay ahead of the curve by learning from campaigns around the world & adapting them to our requirements.
