Of Change
Change is the only constant. This is an often used sentence that people understand. What many fail to recognise or relate to the that the if Change is the only Constant, it also means that the only Constant is Change.
What both sentence does is the the value of constant is greatly reduced, instead, it is placed as a time-frame and boundary for change, which, in this instance, change is infinity, for it is constant
Confused already?
The reason this argument has arise is because, once again, i'm having changes. People of my parents generation are adverse to change, well, not all, but many are. My father is still working in the same company he started out working since 16, my mother choose not to learn about the internet and more "complicated" functions of her handphone, such as messaging, and i refuse to eat certain vegetables still.
Change brings about uncertainty and fear of the unknown makes us fear change and thus remain constant. But nothing is constant remember? Except change that is.. so "nothing is constant" is not an correct sentence, change is..
Therefore, to make sense of it all and to manage change, one must prepare to face it and handle the emotional and financial impacts of decisions. For example, i left a comfortable office hour job that paid rather decently for the work and had rather good benefits. I left at a bad time, resulting in lost of bonus as well as having to return a "pay-adjustment performance bonus" back to the organisation.
I consider this a bad decision, but change was necessary then. Perhaps i could have handled it better, perhaps perhaps perhaps. The song rings in my mind but the loss hits the heart and the brain, not forgeting the pocket too..
Alright, this post is getting too long, so i shall attempt to stop, so fickle i am to start a post with no end in mind, why? Because i might decide to blog about something(constant) and end up otherwise(change), whatever why, i blogged and made an entry, so that counts..
Footnote: Tried to post this during office hours, clearly they have blocked of blogger.com(which was previously unblocked).. welcome to my world
Will announce the next change when the day comes nearer
