Life happens. Adapt. Embrace change, and make the most of everything that comes your way.
Water is fluid, soft, and yielding. But water will wear away rock, which is rigid and cannot yield. As a rule, whatever is fluid, soft, and yielding will overcome whatever is rigid and hard. This is another paradox: what is soft is strong.
Therefore, just as water retains no constant shape, so in warfare there are no constant conditions.
Optimism is an essential ingredient of innovation. How else can the individual welcome change over security, adventure over staying in safe places?
We have to keep transforming ourselves to stay relevant for the future.
If you don’t like change, you’re going to like irrelevance even less.
The first step on the path to positive change is acknowledgement that change is necessary and possible. Open yourself to the possibility of seeing the world in a new way. What do you have to lose?
Adaptability to change is itself a hallmark of successful education.
The business changes. The technology changes. The team changes. The team members change. The problem isn’t change, per se, because change is going to happen; the problem, rather, is the inability to cope with change when it comes.
When change is necessary, not to change is destructive!
Everything changes, nothing remains without change.
All failure is failure to adapt, all success is successful adaptation.
In the end, it is important to remember that we cannot become what we need to be by remaining what we are.
Stagnation is death. If you don’t change, you die. It’s that simple. It’s that scary.
If plan A doesn’t work, the alphabet has 25 more letters – 204 if you’re in Japan.
Life is about growing, learning, and becoming. You cannot grow, learn, or become if you cannot embrace the changes in your life.
Change is inevitable. Why hold onto what you have to let go of?
Challenging kids are lacking the skills of flexibility, adaptability, frustration tolerance, and problem solving, skills most of us take for granted.
Nothing negatively impacts organisation performance quicker than an employee who resists change and who believes that the way they work today is the way they will work tomorrow.
Disruption creates more choice and opportunities for agency. Maintaining relevance then requires constant redefinition, reframing, ideating, prototyping, and testing of our choices.
