The world is constantly changing.
And in these technologically-enhanced times, it's changing faster than ever.
Sometimes, we have to run just to catch up.
So I find it weird that so many people remain resistant to progress.
They actively shun evolution, dig in their heels and steadfastly refuse to move on.
Some of them even go so far as to take pride in the 'Luddite' approach, arguing that when the world shifts back, they'll be in exactly the right place.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
And the more ridiculous they look.
I always think of Trigger, the po-faced buffoon in long-running sitcom 'Only Fools and Horses'.
He once proudly announced:
"I've had the same broom for 20 years."
"It's had 17 new heads ...........................and 14 new handles."
You can keep telling yourself that nothing's changed.
But in actual fact, everything has.

Evolution – Try It
When people speak out against the theory of evolution, it’s because they argue that the world is too remarkable and perfect to have been created by chance.
But that’s to miss the point of how evolution works.
Evolution isn’t simply a natural consequence of being around for a long time, you don’t evolve just by being there.
It’s a genetic lottery.
Changes occur by accident and nature determines that it’s a good thing.
The newly evolved species forges ahead, and its ancestors simply have to adapt to the changed world.
The business world is no different.
Our world changes almost daily, and there are all kinds of opportunities to take a genetic step forward.
When you find something that works, repeat it.
Leave the rest of them dragging their knuckles.
