Charles Darwin, who is best known for his theory of evolution, said and I quote “It is not the strongest or the most intelligent who will survive but those who can best manage change.” Indeed, adaptability or the ability to change to fit new circumstances is crucial to survival. Without the ability and agility to adapt, we will stagnate or lose our relevance.
