The Rules Are Changing: Adaptability is Key

The Rules Are Changing: Adaptability Is The Key

The world has become so dynamic and fast-paced that you need to adjust and adapt at the same pace or you become extinct like the dinosaur.

As I wrote this piece early this morning, a flash of thought raced through my mind... Do you remember the giant NITEL(Nigerian Telecommunications Limited)? Right! The company was so big and comfortable it didn't know the GSM companies were planning its death and burial. It happened so fast NITEL didn't know what hit it.

I was so angry few days ago about what PHED did to me(forget about the details), you already know their stock-in-trade. I called their service line and told them what happened to NITEL... They rushed to my office and rendered apology. I told them the rules have changed and if they're not careful, they'll become extinct very soon. 

Jack Ma, the third richest man in China, says, "Please tell your children that the world is changing every day and no one is going to wait for you in the past." When lighter was invented, it overtook the relevance of matches. When electronic calculator came on scene, abacus faded away like smoke.

When digital camera appeared, the negative film market bowed out in shame. When internet-based selling came on board, traditional marketing caught cold and developed pneumonia.

Don't  blame "Who took over Whose business." The simple truth is: people are more adjustable and adaptable to new ideas that are convenient. Someone once asked Jack Ma: "What is your secret for success?"
"Really simple...I am doing (action) while you're only watching," he said with a smile.

Remember, the world is changing every day. If you don't change, you'll be abandoned in the dustbin of regret and frustration. It is no longer news that everyone reaps what he or she sows. That's an irrevocable law.

Anybody who spends time to drink, becomes a drunkard in the long haul.
If you spend time to complain, you become a graduate complainant at the end of the season. If you spend time to study and learn, you end up a wise person.

If you spend time to observe the trend of the global economy, you'll not end up crying out for unpaid salaries and bonuses. The truth is, there's no longer job security anywhere in the world because the rules have changed. It is only those who adjust and adapt that will survive. Be wise!

See You At The Top In 2016. #MoreGrace!
