Adapt
What should you do when the unexpected come?
Will you complain? Will you resist? Will you wish that it shouldn't be this way?
No. Being like that won't solve anything.
The only way is to adapt. To be pragmatic.
To be adaptive is to be flexible. In the face of uncertainty, by remaining flexible, you can move forward.
Complaining won't help. Resisting won't help. Wishing won't help either.
What does is being adaptive. Being flexible.
But, do not lose your ideal. Just because you are flexible, doesn't mean you should leave behind your value.
Keep your eyes on the stars, and your feet on the ground.
— Theodore Roosevelt
The stars are your dreams, your values. The ground is reality. By balancing both, you can become who you want to be.
So, be adaptive, while keeping your value.
