Now, after months of soul-searching, I have come to the realization that my only possible salvation lies in the total renunciation of all I have stood for. Yes, after years of preaching the desirability, the inevitability, the beautiful buzzwordy bounty of change, change, change, I, Ezra Poundcake, will speak its name no more. Like the pumped and powerful Keanu Reeves of Speed, I must boldly leap from the madly careening bus of reengineering into the driver's seat of a whole new bandwagon. So listen friends, and hear me well. The new watchword of the '90s is stasis.
Flexibility is out.
Rigidity is in. The only thing better than stagnation is downright paralysis. R eally, it makes sense if you think about it. After all, even those other gurus are always carping on the fact that most people resist change. Yes, people have good reason to hate change.
