The exercises of practical life are formative activities, a work of adaptation to the environment. Such adaptation to the environment and efficient functioning therein is the very essence of a useful education.
No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it’s not the same river and he’s not the same man.
All things flow, nothing abides. You cannot step into the same river twice, for the waters are continually flowing on. Nothing is permanent except change.
Life will find a way.
All that you touch You Change. All that you Change Changes you. The only lasting truth is Change. God is Change.
Change is good. And in fact unavoidable.
Success in management requires learning as fast as the world is changing.
The smartest people are constantly revising their understanding, reconsidering a problem they thought they’d already solved. They’re open to new points of view, new information, new ideas, contradictions, and challenges to their own way of thinking.
Change is inevitable in life. You can either resist it and potentially get run over by it, or you can choose to cooperate with it, adapt to it, and learn how to benefit from it. When you embrace change you will begin to see it as an opportunity for growth.
Wherever there is change, and wherever there is uncertainty, there is opportunity!
Change is not a threat, it’s an opportunity. Survival is not the goal, transformative success is.
You win by trying. And failing. Test, try, fail, measure, evolve, repeat, persist,...
Be bold, make mistakes, learn a lesson, and fix what doesn’t work.
Flexible in the face of change, resilient in the face of confusion. All of these attributes are choices, not talents, and all of them are available to you.
Change before you’re forced to change.
There are two options: adapt or die.
Adaptability is the simple secret of survival.
Humans are allergic to change. They love to say, ‘We’ve always done it this way.’ I try to fight that. That’s why I have a clock on my wall that runs counter-clockwise.
If you do not change, you can become extinct !
You adapt, evolve, compete or die.
