Keep moving to grow!


If you continue to dig the same hole in the same place in your life, eventually you will be standing in a grave!
Shannon L. Alder


If you want to be growing, keep moving.

Whichever stops moving will start decaying. Visit an automobile repair shop and see an automobile parked for a long time. You will see the rusted vehicles with flat tyres. It is a junk!


When water stagnates for a long time it stinks. Fishes will die and bacteria will grow. Of course the water will not be fit for human consumption.

If a patient is allowed to be in the same position for a long time without any movement, it will result in bedsore, otherwise called pressure ulcer. The best treatment to cure bedsore is to turn the patient every two hours.

This principle is relevant to our career also. If we remain in the same career for too long, we will start becoming outdated. We have to keep moving to enrich our bio-data. If an organisation does not remove old products, it will lose its place in the market. If the manufacturing process does not change with new technology, it will become uncompetitive.

Ask yourself: how long am I am in my current job without any change? What will happen if I don’t change my skill set?

Keep changing, and remain relevant!
