If you want to see the same old results in your life, business, organization or community, continue down the same old path and the results will be exactly the same…
It has been said that, “if you want change, you have to make changes.” To embrace change, one has to do something they have never done before.
Old ways of doing things were great in old days but nowadays with new ideas, innovations and strategies, change is normal. It’s not that the minds of yesterday have gone stale; it’s that the new minds of today embrace change, diversify and make changes! Although our children are a generation younger than us, in many ways they are much smarter, quicker and more skilled at certain things than we are. That’s just the way it is.
In life, there are both leaders and followers, and for most, everyone can see the difference! Who would have thought that Wilbur and Orville would launch what today we now enjoy as flight? Alexander Graham Bell, Thomas Edison and Beethoven were a little extraordinary in that they all had learning disabilities but demonstrated that they were driven by genuine and rare intellectual curiosity. They kept on regularly searching, striving and wanting to learn more and create in their fields of expertise. Edison shed a little light on the situation, Bell opened up lines of communication while Beethoven still soothes our tired souls. Thank God for great thinkers that embrace change and make changes!
Moose Jaw has gone through some transition too. New development and new businesses have popped up. The wheels of technology are changing. Artificial intelligence has become the buzz word of the day but we can either run from it or embrace it, because it won’t be going away anytime soon. It is an amazing tool to use in education for conscientious educators to catch cheaters that think they are scamming the system. Who wants to go to a professional that really hasn’t earned their degree with the level of education that is necessary to get there? But unfortunately, there probably are some educators who aren’t interested because it would require them to be a little more responsible to make sure the students they are educating are actually educated.
Soon 2024 will be here and undoubtedly it’s going to be a new year with new developments, technology, business endeavours, events and maybe even new discoveries on the horizon.
