Thursday 13- 10th Edition

1. The key to change is to let go of fear. (Rosanne Cash)
2. If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude. Don’t complain. (Maya Angelou)
3. If you don’t like something, change it; if you can’t change it, change the way you think about it. (Mary Engelbreit)
4. When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves. (Victor Frankl)
5. Faced with the choice between changing one’s mind and proving that there is no need to do so, almost everyone gets busy on the proof. (John Kenneth Galbraith)
6. All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another. (Anatole France)
7. Every beginning is a consequence - every beginning ends some thing. (Paul Valery)
8. Change is the law of life and those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future. (John F. Kennedy)
9. Everybody has accepted by now that change is unavoidable. But that still implies that change is like death and taxes — it should be postponed as long as possible and no change would be vastly preferable. But in a period of upheaval, such as the one we are living in, change is the norm. (Peter Drucker)
10. Change is hard because people overestimate the value of what they have—and underestimate the value of what they may gain by giving that up. (James Belasco and Ralph Stayer)
11. Most of our assumptions have outlived their uselessness. (Marshall McLuhan)
12. We cannot change our past. We cannot change the fact that people act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is to play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. (Charles Swindoll)
13. The only man I know who behaves sensibly is my tailor; he takes my measurements anew each time he sees me. The rest go on with their old measurements and expect me to fit them. (George Bernard Shaw)
And one to grow on : If nothing ever changed, there’d be no butterflies. (Unknown)
