CHANGE! the unchangable law of progress

Does this word “change” scare or inspire you? Herbert Spencer said, “A living thing is distinguished from a dead thing by the multiplicity of the changes at a moment taking place in it.” Change is evidence of life. It is impossible to grow without change. Those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything. The truth is, life is always at some turning point.

What people want is progress, if they can have it without change, and this is impossible. You must change and recognize that change is your greatest ally. The person who never changes his opinion never corrects his mistakes. The fact is, the road to success is always under construction.

Yesterday’s formular for success is often tomorrow’s recipe for failure.  The man who uses yesterday’s methods in today’s world probably won’t be in business tomorrow. Consider what Thomas Watson, the founder of IBM corporation, said: “there is a world market of about five computers.”  Where would IBM be today if Mr. Watson has not been willing to change?

 You cannot become what you are destined to be by remaining what you are. John Peterson said, “only fools and dead men don’t change their minds” the same kind of thinking that has brought you to where you are today will not necessarily take you to where you want to go. Sante Boeve discovered this truth: “there are people whose watch stops at a certain hour and who remain permanently at that age.”

Do not fear change; it is the unchangeable law of progress. Don’t be a person whose mind is always open to new ideas provided they are the same old ones.  Do you know that defending your faults and errors only proves that you have no intention of quitting them? Odell Shephard will always make us to understand that there are people who not only strive to remain static themselves, but strive to keep everything else so….  Their position is almost laughably hopeless.

Mignon McLaughlin said, “ it’s the most unhappy people who most fear change.” When patterns and tradition are broken, new opportunities come together. All progress is due to those who were not satisfied to let well enough alone. They weren’t afraid to change. My valued reader, change is not your enemy-it is your friend. Don’t be a conservative type, change!
