Adopting to Change

Naturally we are resistant to change no matter what it involves even if it was apparently good for us; we even resist simple changes to our daily routines or workplace. Today change is imperative for us to remain upbeat and competitive in this ever changing world; there are many factors of change including globalization enabled by advancing technology, telecommunication, free trade policies, etc. If we don’t have the ability to adopt to change then we will be left behind and eventually lose therefore; we need to be as adoptive as possible in order to not miss out. One of the key factors that can help us not only adopt change but also embrace it is knowledge. Knowledge is very powerful and it’s the real fortune that nobody can take away from us unlike money which comes and goes. We must realize that knowledge is limitless so no matter how much you learn and know you probably still have a lot to learn about. There is always someone more knowledgeable out there and so we need to engage in a continuous learning process. Continuous learning is known to be part of quality management practice and it was well initiated in Toyota Japan.
Next week Inshallah I start a new phase of my learning process by enrolling in a quality management program. I hope it will be beneficial.
The more you learn the thirstier you become for more knowledge. Keep learning keep raising the bar and stay competitive.
