“Everyone knows that not all change is good or even necessary. But in a world that is constantly changing, it is to our advantage to learn how to adapt and enjoy something better.”

“Man is capable of changing the world for the better if possible, and of changing himself for the better if necessary.”

“Changes happen in our lives whether we invite them in or not. Being able to adapt and embrace uninvited change is a necessary but often difficult part of being an emotionally healthy person.”

“Learn to adapt. Things change, circumstances change. Adjust yourself and your efforts to what it is presented to you so you can respond accordingly. Never see change as a threat, because it can be an opportunity to learn, to grow, evolve and become a better person.”

“Everyone called it Burger Math because all you learned was how to make change.”

“But complex animals had obtained their adaptive flexibility at some cost--they had traded one dependency for another. It was no longer necessary to change their bodies to adapt, because now their adaptation was behavior, socially determined. That behavior required learning. In a sense, among higher animals adaptive fitness was no longer transmitted to the next generation by DNA at all. It was now carried by teaching.”
