It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.
Change & Adaptation
The art of navigating uncertainty and evolving with reality
People think they can't change themselves, but they can. People think they can change others, but they can't.
You don't do well by trying to be right; it is impossible for humans. You do well by figuring out when you're wrong faster than others do.
The secret of change is to focus all your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new.
Change is inevitable, it's our job to exploit it.
What got you here won't get you there.
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.
You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a model that makes the existing model obsolete.
If problems shift faster than your rate of adaptation, you lose.
Your life does not get better by chance, it gets better by change.
You can't change someone. All you can do is understand them.
Adapt instead of reacting. An opportunity is taking an unwanted job.
The measure of intelligence is the ability to change when the environment changes.
All fixed set patterns are incapable of adaptability or pliability. The truth is not rigid.
When the winds of change blow, some people build walls and others build windmills.
The greatest danger in times of turbulence is not the turbulence; it is to act with yesterday's logic.
Adaptability is not imitation. It means power of resistance and assimilation.
He who rejects change is the architect of decay. The only human institution which rejects progress is the cemetery.
Change before you have to. If you wait until you need to change, you're already behind.
The bamboo that bends is stronger than the oak that resists. Survival depends on flexibility, not stubbornness.
In times of drastic change, it is the learners who inherit the future. The learned find themselves equipped to live in a world that no longer exists.
Adaptation is not about being perfect. It's about being responsive to what reality demands of you.
The art of life is a constant readjustment to our surroundings. The perfect man is not the one who never changes, but the one who changes wisely.
