Change descends on every One equally; it is just that some realize it faster.
Some changes are sudden but many others are gradual.While sudden
changes get attention because they are dramatic, it is the gradual changes
that are ignored till it is too late. You must have all heard of story of the frog
in boiling water. If the temperature of the water is suddenly increased, the
frog realizes it and jumps out of the water. But if the temperature is very
slowly increased, one degree at a time, the frog does not realize it till it boils
to death. You must develop your own early warning system, which warns
you of changes and calls your attention to it. In the case of change, being
forewarned is being forearmed.
These are the excerpts from:
A very inspiring, interesting and thought
provoking speech by Shri Azim Premji At the
37th Annual Convocation 2002, IIM, Ahmedabad
