Charles
Darwin:
It is not
the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that
survives. It is the one that is most adaptable to change.
Shortened versions
It is not the strongest species that survive,
nor the most intelligent, but the ones most responsive to change.
It is not the strongest or the most
intelligent who will survive but those who can best manage change.
I came across
an article, which narrated all about how human skill to survival is being slowly
eradicated in planned and phased manner. Common example was given about mass
movement of human population towards cities. It has created constant fear of
maintaining jobs at hand.
Simple Test:
-
Just
imagine if you do not have job at hand, what will be your survival strategy? How
you are going to pay necessary bills or tackle liability? If you are not going
to get job for another six month as well as you have already disposed off asset of your
origin place post migration to settle luxury at cities.
Now if
you can answer that to some satisfactory level to yourself, you still have
survival skill else it’s time for you to create one.
There are
many survival stories, you may have come across where several people have been
unfortunately landed in uncomfortable situation due to travel/weather/transport
etc. and have manage to adopt and survive. One common aspect in all stories is
that they are usually a story of an individual.
But the
context here is about able to survive along with family where each member does not
have same strength and skill. Your role here of leader/captain to ensure survivability.
Now think
over the above test scenario again and reassess/re-evaluate your response. The
picture is getting bit scary, right?
That
survival skill which our ancestor used to take pride in, is now being
eradicated or getting phased out.
Majority of cases people are always at edge
and constant fighting towards creating balance and …………………..{you can fill
yourself , what precious thing you end up losing.
Hint: time, stress free life,
health etc.. }
Whats your skill set/survival strategy to adopt change?
