Agreeing with Isaac Asimov


"The only constant is CHANGE." - Isaac Asimov

It would not surprise me if it turns out that Asimov got the quote from an ancient Greek or Chinese philosopher, but it sure is accurate! Change is one main item in our lives that is sure to occur over and over and over again. Now these statements will surely date me - but I remember my first pager (ugly!), my first cellphone (huge!), my first computer (green pixelated letters!)...and now....I blog, I FB, I tweet!!

Change is exciting! Imagine lying down in a tube, floating on a slow straight river for one whole day and you'll start feeling the monotony. Now imagine being in the same tube, but floating on a meandering river, gliding along its curves and going through the abrupt turns that may come up every now and then, giving new sceneries along the river banks, new sights, new perspectives - now that is better right?

Change is not a negative thing. If there is no change, there would be no innovations. We would not see all the new inventions, new theories and new ideas around us.

Change is a constant that touches our lives. Be it with our families, friends or in the workplace.

How to face it? One word - ADAPT.
Embrace change....it is all just a matter of perspective.
