Human
as we are, we opt for assurance. Whether it is in the workplace, in school, in
love or in life, we want something that is sturdy, steady, and sure. Taking
risks and chances are rendered foreign as what we want is something with
finality.
Fragile
as we are, we tend to be physically and emotionally attached to things. We
value and put value on every little thing possible – this includes scribbles on
pieces of papers, cinema tickets and even candy wrappers.
Change
for us means venturing into a foreign path—a path less traveled. Change for us
means saying goodbye to old ways and saying hello to new things. For us, change
is good but not when it is happening to us.
In
truth, change is but the only constant thing in this world. For some, change is
inevitable but could be ignored.
For
someone as fickle minded as I am [green blooded Sagittarius], change is but a
constant companion. May it be on a personal or professional note – change is
there. Not that I do not have my ‘word’ on decisions I make but change and I
have always worked together just fine.
I
love the idea of trial and error and of course hypothesis testing. In my
profession as a Chef, recipes do not come in fixed ratios or proportions.
Everything is tested before it becomes a recipe for keeps. Trying on
combinations, testing mixtures and changing ingredients is but natural inside
the kitchen. You tend to ‘sniff’ and ‘scurry’ every single time just to get
that ‘perfect’ recipe.
Change
is also a limitation. Yes, this is a fact. However, it is us who also have the
ability to make the most out of it. In the workplace, for one, change seems to
be seen as a bad thing as it ‘disrupts’ the already calm surrounding. More so, changes
in the workplace at times create chaos between and amongst employees. Thus, theneed to be aware, ready and susceptible of change.
According
to Theodore Roosevelt: There is nothing to fear but fear itself and thus, one
should not see change as a threat or even a limitation but rather see change as
an inspiration.
