Adapt

A simple word that carries a big meaning. One who knows how to adapt oneself to any situation that they were being pushed into, would  survive the challenge and acquire priceless experience. Some people don’t actually know how to adapt themselves to a given situation. They tend to find an easy way out. That is, to get out from the situation. By doing so, they failed to realise their own potentials. They failed to challenge themselves in different situation and learn from the process.

I’ve seen many a times when people failed to adapt themselves. And I’ve also seen many a times when people found it easy to adapt. I’ve since learned that adapting to a situation requires certain set of skills that can be learned. Else one will have to spend a longer time to adapt and also make a lot of mistakes along the way. Sometimes, costly mistakes. So why reinvent the wheel? Learn how to adapt to a situation and you will find it easier for you and also the others around you.

By asking you to learn the skills do not necessarily mean that you will skip the process of learning from your mistakes. Even when you have acquired the skills of adapting you might find yourself in different situations at any given time. So you will need to make adjustments and while making the adjustments, you might make some mistakes. Here and there. But not to worry…if you already have the skills, you’ll rectify your mistakes in a jiffy.
