A Change Is Gonna Come

Yesterday it was all about attitude.
Today it's platitudes.
I'm like the blog version of Dr. Seuss.

(and I still don't like green eggs and ham!)
There's a great old saying: "When the pupil is ready, the teacher will
appear."
No-one can teach you anything until you're ready to learn.
So it doesn't matter what your mantra is:
"Creativity is king."
"Innovate or die."
"Yes we can."
Until you're ready to make the change, everything will stay just as it is.
It takes willing, commitment and determination.
If you're not willing to come at the problem from a new angle, you're just
sinking in a sea of platitudes.
You have to take personal responsibility for making change happen.
Otherwise, you're just another grumpy old luddite.
Ask yourself, "what am I going to do differently today?"
Then get out there and do it.
And remember - there's no 'I' in team.
