Embrace the change...

We see change as a common thing, sometimes we overlook it and refuse to fit in but have you wondered why great people fell because they have failed to embrace the word CHANGE? Read through as I opened your knowledge to the effect of Change in the world today. 

Change is one thing we experience in the world often, the word Change keeps occurring and I don't see it stopping until the end of the world. Nothing stays the same way forever, even the earth itself has experienced and will still experience lots of changes due to human factors and other things. Be it a living or nonliving thing, change is something that must definitely occur at a point in existence. 

Heraclitus once said, "Change is the only constant thing in life". I am not sure if you agree with him but I believe in those words, nothing stays the same forever. The post is not just about the changes we experience in life but how important it is to fit into the change.

Recently noise cash did some changes on the platform and these things were steps that needed to be taken to keep the platform running smoothly. It was a change we had to cope with but instead, some decided to do away with the platform because they thought it was going to be the end of their smooth engagement on the platform. 

Just like it happened on Noisecash, these changes happen every day in the world but many have failed because they refuse to embrace the change.

Fitting into a change seem difficult for humans because we are stuck with our old idea and knowledge about how things are done in the world. 

This old idea has made many remain stagnant and hindered lots from becoming successful or achieving their dreams. It has made people drop from hero to zero just because they refuse to embrace the change and move on with life. 

Failing to fit into a change is like imagining yourself going into a sophisticated gunfight with a sword. The person's chances of survival are the slimmest, as in it is a ratio of 0.000001 to 100. 

For two years I worked in a printing company. We do various printing works for companies and we were always having several jobs lined up for us. 

Suddenly, things changed. The job wasn't coming, we had to start going out for new customers but the patronage wasn't anywhere near what we use to have before. I decided to move because the company started owing us. 

I got another place in Ikeja and started working there. While my former place was struggling, the new place was flourishing. 

Why?... My former place refused to embrace the Change in the field while the new place embraced it. 

How?.. A new machine was made called Speedmaster, then the new company bought the machine because it was making a difference in the field. This machine could print multiple colors at once but what my old place had was a one-color printing machine. 

With the new machine, work was neater and faster. Customers appreciate the job coming out close to perfect. After several months I got a call if I was willing to come back because the old company has gotten the new machine as well. 

I asked myself why it took him so long to embrace the Change because he has to start from scratch again. 

He had the idea that it would cost him much but he wasn't seeing the positive impact of the change. The machine would make him get more jobs which equal more money.

Technology has taken the world to the next stage, it is unbelievable that the things we never expected to see in 10 years are happening in the next minute.

A cameraman once lost his job because his company introduced the use of drones to their work. He started getting mad at the invention of the drone, he did not take time to think of how the drone works. The drone needs to be controlled, they are operated by someone.

He didn't understand that learning how to make use of it will help you get back your job or see you get a better one. 

At this age of the world, some businessmen/women still don't buy the idea of social media marketing because they don't want to embrace the change in the marketing world. Things are changing fast and people who embrace the Change are the ones achieving great results. 

How to handle CHANGE when it happens... 

You must go through each step because that change that saw someone grow could be your fall as well. 

• Identify the Change...

• Study the Change... It very important you get maximum knowledge about the Change that is happening. Having the full knowledge gives you a great boost and insight into what you are getting into. 

• Ensure that you understand the positive and negative impact of the change in your life and society. I included negative because every good thing in terms of Change usually has some hidden flaws. 

• Make plans of how to fit into the Change... This involves upgrading yourself to the latest version of the system. 

• Execute the plans and go for success. 

Let's look at it from this instant, a decade ago the digital currency was introduced to the world. It was a change but only a few, I mean very few tapped into the change then because millions of people who knew about it felt it was a waste of time and it might not succeed.

One thing I want you to know today is that every change comes with a big or lower risk and I'm certain you have heard or read that taking a new step in life comes with risk and only the brave sees that and get hold of it because it could be a fall and it could be a huge rise you don't expect to achieve 10 years from now.

 I was saying earlier about digital currency, today this digital currency has turned a lot of lives around positively even more than they could have imagined. 

Despite the testimonies and turnaround people are experiencing every day through this digital currency, do you know some people still feel it's the change they can't involve in?

 Let's put that aside from the world population increases every day, demand increases every day. Some people have dedicated their lives to making things possible for the world. 

For instance, the internet, air transportation, advanced medical facilities, etc are things that keep the world running smoothly today. 

Imagine with the drastic increase in the world population and the world still runs things the way it did 20 years ago. How would we have survived? how would we have gotten some things done? how would we have tackled ebolavirus, chickenpox, the Coronavirus, and many other things that are shaking the world today?

We must embrace change because it has a lot of good in it than the bad that we can imagine and the bad comes in when we don't look before we leap. 

Many times we make decisions before we think and when we get an unfavorable result we blame the change instead of correcting our mistakes and make an attempt again.

We must study the change before we get into it. Sometimes it's not the change that brings in the risk, but people who adopted it earlier make it look terrible to prevent others from benefitting from it.
