FLEXIBILITY

Life is synonymous with change. Although we make plans and set target dates, things change. The unexpected happens. To survive in a changing world we need to be flexible and learn how to adapt. No matter how hard we try, we cannot stand in the same spot in a stream, for a different stream rushes by each moment. So it is with life, for the streams of time and changes are rushing by. Those who are rigid and stubborn will be swept away by the tide of change, but those who are flexible and willing to adapt will be carried to success. Everett Dirksen (1896-1969) cleverly said, "I am a man of fixed and unbending principles, the first of which is to be flexible at all times."
