Part 3/13:
Reminiscing childhood games like Snake and Ladders and Ludo, the speaker shares a personal anecdote underscoring strategic thinking versus luck. The story reveals that understanding the broader system—"not missing the forest for the trees"—is vital in problem-solving. This early lesson influences the approach to addressing complex problems: focus on the entire ecosystem rather than isolated components.
