Adaptability and the Theory of Evolution

"It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is most adaptable to change" Charles Darwin.

However, it is often the intelligent who recognises the need to adapt, and the strong who has the willpower, strength and ability to do what is necessary to adapt.

Happy, Dangerous, Beacons, and a Waste of Space. Which One Are You?

There are different types of people in the world.

There are those who are both intellectually-challenged and not very industrious, and these are the happiest people of all.

Then, there are those who are a little daft and yet extremely hardworking, and they are potentially the most dangerous of the lot.

A few are both diligent and intelligent, and these are people who become shining beacons for their family and community (possibly even for humanity, if they put in enough effort).

This leaves us with people who are smart, even brilliant, but without a single fibre of conscientiousness in any of the two hundred and six bones in their bodies, and that is just a waste.

Which one do you identify yourself with?

Consider The Opposite

When you are antagonised or provoked, and the only conceivable response is that you react with the same bile, to fight fire with more fire, stop for a moment and consider the action which is the exact opposite of your initial instinct and urge to defend yourself with a similar attack.


Would adopting a softer stance be that unacceptable?

Could you look past your ego, your pride, to apologise, even when you know it was not entirely your fault?

Only when a tense situation is diffused and when rational minds and calm emotions preside over discussions can a solution be discovered.

Two-step actions to better anger management and conflict resolution.

1. Stop.

2. Consider the opposite.

Building A Wardrobe: The Evolution of Men

I had pants that short before. I was laughed at by my entire audit team.
Now I know I was just "fashion forward".

Not that many years ago, when the term "menswear" bring forth images of burly men cursing like a drunk sailor with a sea urchin up his arse, rather than men in techni-coloured coats and chinos, "building a wardrobe" literally meant going to your local hardware store to purchase nails and wooden planks to build a storage compartment for your clothes.

Nowadays, "building a wardrobe" means ensuring you have in your closet the latest fall fashion's turtleneck knitted sweater to match your suede trousers and accessorising with leather gloves and a gentleman's umbrella.

Writing

Before you write, you have to decide if it is to be read between mouthfuls of chicken nuggets, or if it requires more than just fleeting focus and brief attention.
