When change comes, the species that survives is the one best able to adapt.
A tree understands that to survive a strong gust of wind it must bend in the direction of the wind flow. The moment the wind surge passes, the tree immediately springs back to it's original form. This is adaptation and flexibility.
In business if you do not adapt to change you will definitely count your losses faster than you can count to five. The only constant in life is change. You cannot reverse engineer change. Whether you like it or not, it will happen. It's just a matter of how soon you can adapt to it that matters.
Kodak failed to adapt to the market shift from photographic to digital film and paid the price. We no longer tallk of Kodak moments today but selfie moments as the digital revolution has changed the way we record and store memories.
Nokia and BlackBerry also failed to read the evolution of the cellular market and the advent of cross messaging platforms and were soon overtaken by Samsung, Hwawei and WhatsApp.
It's an exciting time to be alive today. There is so much knowledge on the internet. There are so many opportunities today to become a millionaire than at any other time in the history of the world.
We are privileged to exist in this age so dont despair. Great opportunity awaits those who can adapt to change quickly.
Time is our greatest asset not money. Without time money is meaningless. And without time, change will just be another buz word for something new about to happen without notice. So whatever you see happening around you, adapt to remain in the game or be swept away.
