Adaptability
"Arrange whatever pieces come your way."- Virginia Wolf
I have always believed that being adaptable is very important in both personal and professional aspects of our lives. Often I even mention this to the teams that I lead. This often takes the form of referring to Charles Darwin.
Darwin said that,
"it is not the most intellectual of the species that survives; it is not the strongest that survives; but the species that survives is the one that is able best to adapt and adjust to the changing environment in which it finds itself. :
So it is not the strongest or the most intelligent BUT the most adaptive to change. So what happens during change? Usually we get a lot of new pieces that are thrown at us at once. This is why Virginia's advice is to just do the work and arrange them.
But you say that it is not so easy?
It is not easy to go through the change but you must believe that you are adaptive enough that you will come out ahead at the end. By focusing on how to optimize the pieces we could reduce the stress of going through the change. After all you control how the peices get organized.
Today's question is:
"How do you stay adaptive while arranging the pieces in front of you?"
