Let's Try Something Different!



"One of the greatest pains to human nature is the pain of a new idea."





Walter Bagehot
19th century British economist

Strange too because "new and improved" is standard, very successful marketing text.

How receptive are you to change?

  1. i hate change and way too much stuff changes way too often. i don't even like getting a new phone because it means i'll have to learn how to use it. what's wrong with "if it ain't broke don't fix it."

  2. But do you eventually like the new phone after a few days?

    Resisting change is, as Bill says, normal but you can't enjoy the things you are use to unless you first try them out as new things. Catch 22 maybe but it is reality.

  3. Change is enevitable. However, new and improved, especially when altered by man, generally is only dangerous to living things.
