Inertia of rest and motion

This blog idea was originally triggered by a chain of thought of my friend Arnab.  During one of his lecture of strategy his prof told this-"It is better to be toasted than be still and eaten alive by moth". He shared this with me and that set me thinking.. how profound.. how deep this thought is. Change is inevitable but still people try to stop it. How many times i hear that--- 'it has been like that way' as if that is final...nothing can change it. Then it reminds me the curious case of nokia ( that press conference where the teary eyed CEO- told- we did nothing wrong, but we sank), Intel missing mobile revolution, fed ex phoo phooing amazon- 10 years ago, or 'touch phone??'. History is replete with instances and stories. once you have stopped changing- you are dead. Yes, comfort factors are always there but challenging self and to go forward is something that we have to inoculate as organisation DNA.
Always movement is required. if you are not changing- forces beyond you will just move you around. So till the time you have energy- you got to move around.Keep the changes, study, learn, implement.The day you stop, you are dead.
That is the concept of inertia of rest and motion. A potential catastrophic situation. If you rest- others in motion will move forward and displace you. If you are on motion- but in same trajectory- you will be outsmarted soon.
so idea is- keep moving, keep innovating.
