The ability to adapt

Ben Roberts

Charles Darwin was right when he said it wasn’t the strongest nor the most intelligent that survive but the ones who able to adapt. 

With the constant distractions and change we face on a daily basis, knowing how to develop the skills to adapt is crucial. 

 Whether it’s moving to a new country, changing jobs, learning different skills and working with new peers, knowing how to adapt is crucial to being successful 

The key facets you must face to adapt are mental, emotional and physical. 

 Mentally, you need to be strong, embrace the change and gain an understanding of the new ways of working and how to respond to them. 

 Emotionally, being able to deal with your own issues of anxiety, threat, relief and hopefully joy. 

 Physically, getting the excitement levels up and not let the stress affect you. 

 Like all change it’s difficult at first but the better attitude you have and the willingness you have to change, the more successful and satisfied you will be in your new quest. 

 The world is your oyster so make the most of the opportunities that are presented to you. 

 Good luck, if you are standing still you are more likely to be going backwards.
