Succumb, Adapt, or Evolve

"I'd like to say that there are three choices we have when faced with change: succumb, adapt, or evolve. Succumbing is giving up and not trying anymore. If the boss wants you to start using the Internet to reach clients but you decide you're too old to use a computer, you have given up and succumbed. If you learn the basic skills to appease your boss's wishes, then you have adapted. But if you take the challenge to change as an opportunity to grow and learn something new, you have made the best decision---now you can evolve. Evolving will make you more successful and ultimately happier with your life."

-Scott Hamilton, The Great Eight
