ADAPTATION QUOTES III

quotations about adaptability

Time is central to adaptability so that often the difference between success and failure is how quickly we recognize the need for change and how deeply we understand--and do--what is necessary.

For his disdain must pay the penalty.

Adaptability is a survival mechanism. We adapt to the circumstances of our lives, sometimes taking more, sometimes less. When resources become limited, we focus on surviving. When circumstances improve, we find time for pleasure; we move past survival and start to live again.
