Chintadhara - a thought process

Lots of things (people, scenarios, conditions, etc) undergo change around us and we wonder why the change is happening. We are too tuned into our routine life and we do not like to change. Anything new is welcomed mostly with some sort of apprehensions. We try our level best to resist the change because accepting the change will require us to come out of out of our comfort zone. Above case is applicable to the majority... But I have seen a minority which deals with change bit differently. As a matter of fact I can divide the group into two sets - one which aligns with changes in the system and the other which changes before the change. The first set is the one which is least affected by any change i.e. they do not have any negative as well as positive impact; they simply survive the change.

Dr. Gopalakrishnan succeeds Mr. Ratan Tata as Chairman of Tata Sons Ltd., the holding company for many of the Tata blue chips like Tata Steel, Tata Motors, Tata Power, Tata Chemicals, Voltas etc. Possibly he is the first Non-Tata person to head the Tata Empire. Read this article by Dr. G - it is really interesting. The grass isn't always greener on the other side!! Move from one job to another, but only for the right reasons. It's yet another day at office. As I logged on to the marketing and advertising sites for the latest updates, as usual, I found the headlines dominated by 'who's' moving from one company to another after a short stint', and I wondered, why are so many people leaving one job for another?
