who moved my cheese?"by spencer johnson and kenneth blanchard - a over-hyped nevertheless still highly recommended book

change...

something we encounter everyday... animals instinctly change with the environment to better their chance of survival. i watch 'animal planet' a lot... so i know. animals migrate when weather changes, fly across almost half the globe to escape cold winters when food is scarce. herds exodus to places with water when their local waterhole dries up in droughts. either they change or they die. simple as that...

the cliche "the only constant is change" has its truth. if we do not change we become obsolete. it's the same, in business, in ministry, in life. women who are stay-home mothers fear becoming detached from society, becos society changes, get detached and you wil b abandoned. wat do we do with those who refuse to catch with change? there's a chinese saying... "fight ten thousand changes with no change". is it a wise saying? or just crap?

how do i motivate those who see the change to embrace it, to believe in it and to ride on it? it is frustrating for those who feel that change is bad... it's worse for those who try to encourage people to change their mindset. 1 side must give in. but how? slowly?

quote from my senior pastor - the smartest way to change things, is to execute so subtly that people do not realise that things have changed. i see wat he means. initiate change, the less people realise, the less resistance you face. all these are just talk... i've learnt them in school... but one thing i learnt out of school - TALK IS CHEAP. people can talk the talk, but i only respect those who walk the walk. so for me to have some self-respect, i have to walk the walk too...

it's almost 1 am... my mind's in a blur i'm not really sure what i'm writing, i know there's some wisdom in it, but a mess of wisdom is no wisdom at all... i need to b more organised... *shrug*
