The measure of intelligence is the ability to change. ~Einstein
Species-wide, the ability to change is called adaptability. Species that can adapt survive. Species that don’t… don’t.
“Adaptability as a skill refers to the ability of a person to change his actions, course or approach to doing things in order to suit a new situation. We constantly change our lifestyles because our world is changing always. … That is an example of adaptability.”
But what happens if you don’t recognize that it is a new situation… when you look at everything exactly the same way as before? Then you are stuck.
What the sideways view can teach you…
Homo Sapiens look through their own eyes… and are stuck with the view.
Stuck view means: stuck reaction, stuck attitude, the inability to learn the lesson from both successful and unsuccessful actions, from the results.
And this is the current state of humanity: homo sapiens. Hasn’t moved higher in tens of thousands of years…
One would think that this is what nature meant for you to be… but it is not so.
