Don't expect to take up the same things over and over again as the changes
happens.
Things will continue to change, much to disadvantage such that we will be
forced to unlearn things to make way for new knowledge.
As part of the ongoing process of change, We need to be updated with
the latest trends, skills.
Keep thinking and Imagine your goal as it will lead me to the goal early.
Adapt to change quickly , don't resist change.
Enjoy change as enjoying the change process will lead my life to less
stress.
