Now is the time for green-light thinking. Now is the time to attack the problem with our intellect, to get the help we need, to do whatever it takes to adjust to this change. In all of these steps, we need to be creative. As paradigms shift, as new systems go into place and new technologies evolve, we must be open to how this changes the setup as we knew it. Our success is largely dependent upon our acceptance and response to the change that takes place around us.
Extinctions occur as a result of an inability to change.
To change is often difficult, but to not change may prove fatal. Those who will thrive in the new millennium will be those who have positive attitudes toward change. Those who don t will be left behind, or worse yet, they will founder. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future. The second step is acceptance.
