During a  press conference to announce the takeover  of NOKIA by Microsoft, the Nokia CEO ended his speech saying this:" we didn't do anything wrong ,but somehow, we lost ".
 Upon saying that, all his management team, himself included  teared sadly.
 Nokia had for many years been a been a respectable company .They didn't do anything wrong in their business, however the world changed too fast .Their competition became too powerful. They stuck to: "we have always done it this way "... They missed out on learning ,they missed out on changing, they missed out on the smart phone era and thus they lost the opportunity at hand to make it big. Not only did they miss the opportunity to earn big money, they lost their chance of continued survival. Blackberry and Apple discovered new trends and took over the market.
   The message of this story is; if you don't change, competition shall surely remove you from the market. It's not wrong if you don't want to learn new things .However, if your thoughts and mindset cannot catch up with time you will be eliminated from the scheme of things.
CONCLUSION:
(1) The advantages you had yesterday will be fast replaced by the trends of tomorrow. You have to be flexible to new ideas and development so that your competitors will not catch the wave and do it RIGHT, you can loose out and fail if you don't accept change.
(2)To change and improve yourself is giving yourself a second chance. To be forced by others to change , is like being discarded.
   Those who refuse to learn, change and improve ....and always give an excuse "I have always done it this way" will definitely one day become redundant and not relevant to the industry or the world.
BE FLEXIBLE TO CHANGE!!!!!!
