Kaizen - Change for Better

I quote a part of an article by Dr. Bernard Moras in a local newspaper.
It read as below :

Reality they say is enveloped in change. All that is born grows old and dies. Everything material tends to deteriorate, corrupt or change. We see this in radio-active chemicals.
Even strong stone buildings after some years, even if it means hundreds of years, show signs of decline. You cannot escape change.

A philosopher like the Greek philosopher Heraclitus has said that you cannot get into the same river twice. A dicey thinker asks: is it not right to say that you cannot even enter the same river once!

So if change is part of our human existence, then I should be prepared to change and not cling on to obscurantist opinions.

There is a succinct saying in Latin: "vita est in motu" (which paraphrased could mean: life is in constant change or very simply "change is the essence of life").


Its been in our evolution, to adapt to changes and get on with life.
