Lesson 17: CHANGE IS INEVITABLE

CHANGE IS INEVITABLE


We often fail to notice the small changes that seem to take place in our daily lives, we are often too busy to take note of what might affect us in the near future. Sometime we see the changes happening all around us yet we still continue to deny that reality; we are too comfortable with our current situation and can be caught off-guard yet we knew it was coming.

This is a paradigm that is deeply engraved in some of us that when the change happens we are caught off guard since we were too comfortable and not envisioning the future and not noting the small changes that were happening all around us.

That is the classic story “Who moved my Cheese” portrays, we realize that change happens and we should always be prepared.
Flexibility is key in adapting to the changes. Getting too comfortable in one place, relationship, organization or jobs might be risky if the small changes that happen on a daily basis are not monitored.

When a change does occur try to adapt with the new environment , the quicker you let go of the old situation the easier it will be to adapt and enjoy the new reality.  Only those who can adapt survive.

Lesson 4. The Desiderata

Well today I want to share one of my favorite poems that  I came across while in High school but today I also stumbled upon it and it is a very inspiring poem that shows yo how to deal with life. I have made it one of my life principles to read it always and practice what it says. I do wish that we would practice what it says and things will change for the better. The poem is called Desiderata and it was written by an American author    Max Ehrmann  in 1927 . The poem has deeply shaped some of the great people we know, Morgan Freeman the popular American actor once said that the poem has remarkable shaped his life,   US Democratic presidential hopeful  Adlai Stevenson  died in 1965 having the poem by his bedside, and finally me too this poem has a great influence in the way I carry myself everyday. May it bring you hope and inspiration as it has brought to me. Desiderata Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there...

Lesson 44. Alibaba

I have just finished reading Alibaba: The house that Jack Ma built by Duncan Clark. This is a brilliant book in the way the author presents the journey of Alibaba from Jack's small apartment to a billion dollar company, many of us have heard of Alibaba recently during the IPO but this book reminds us that success is as a result of hard work, perseverance, sacrifices and most of all loving what you are doing or  learning to do.  We see the influence that Jack Ma has established to move the company forward with the Jack Magic effect, something similar to Steve Jobs reality distortion field effect. One thing that I really loved was the clear outline of the growth of internet companies in mainland China, and a key lesson can be learned on how big tech companies in China have been able to replicate similar services and technology offerings of major players in the industry  by tailoring this to Chinese market, eg Google- Baidu eBay- Eachnet Amazon-JD.com/Alibaba ...
